Re: Soft cabin door
Thanks Tazz. Does it snap on the outside or sides of the opening?

Re: Soft cabin door
Ok thanks. I hope to be able to take a rip down to the factory some time before I figure this all out. I guess it does not matter that it be super water tight because that is what the cover is for?

I have not seen zippered doors. The door is plastic wrapped in vinyl that slides thru a track that is mounted to boat on each side of the door. The door slides up behind the headliner and is guided by custom tracks. This system works fantastic but it would be very difficult to design the track system in a retrofit. The OL tracks are made on a CNC to their specs. I made a similiar door with our router table for a home theater application wrapped in acoustical fabric to hide equipment but most boats have issues that create inconsistant mounting anomanies. If everything on your boat is similiar to left and right side of door, you should be able to make it happen.
