The 252, and 232 shared the same windshield, and windscreen design. (They had a tighter corner radius)
The 272, 302, & 38 Special all shared the same windshield, (Larger corner radius) but all three had small fit changes with the windscreens.
The 275, 245, 277, 278 all share the same three front sections as the 272 (larger corner radius) BUT have a shorter sideglass wing design.
The problem with Spartech is that they store the older non-used molds outside in the weather. I know they told me that they lost alot during one of the hurricanes a few years back?

I'm really surprised at Spartech.
They gave me that same line two years ago about the cuddy door for the 36. Ours broke and while it was still usable it was not acceptable and would only get worse.
I simply told them that I could not understand how or why they could no longer make something that simple when they were in that business. I had to talk with three people and guess what? They found the mold and made one for me at a stupid high price of $850.00.

I had to deal with alot of "LIP SERVICE" from many of the vendors over the years. A door design like the 36ol can be built from a drawing, because it is "line bent" using a heating elimate at each corner. We did supply them with a section of the doorway to check each doors fit, but sometimes that did not even happen unless we had fit problems. Now, door designs like the 272, 29ol, 302, or 342 that are rounded DO require a mold to create the large curved designs. You did the right thing and stayed on them until they felt it would be easier just to build you the door!
