Help! 1997 250 Sundancer Cabin Door Repair

[Larry Moore]

Hey Gang,
Picked up a 1997 250 Sundancer project - currently looking at repairing the 'Upper Track' on my cabin entry door - I can lift up the door and see the screws that are supposed to secure the door to the sliding track - the screws are either stripped or the holes are 'ovaled'. In my online searches - everyone is referencing the lower track roller - I'm pulling the driver console so I can pull the whole door assembly and repair both upper and lower track mechanisms. My questions are:
1. Anyone else ever do this repair?
2. Are there any part numbers for the track, slider/roller assemblies etc?
3. Pics would be great?
Appreciate any input - thanks!

Haha! Lot of 'lookers' but no input??????? - Ok hoping to get back on the project this weekend - I'll try and post any feedback

My door slides are shot also. I am thinking about removing the entire driver console also if I can get it started early enough this Spring to not impact my season. I have not looked up part numbers yet. I look forward to seeing how it is done if you get to it first. Good luck!

Hey Clam Bake - glad there's someone else out there with the same situation - misery loves company right?! Sooooo, I'll try to post some pics - removal of the helm wasn't too much of a problem - (*I needed to replace the rack-n-pinion steering assembly and steering cable anyway - and updating gauges and gauge dash plate) I'm hopefully going to pull the door this weekend to determine what the next step will be. I'll keep ya'lls posted!

Hi Looking how to remove the cabin door for a major roller repair needed. I understand
Removal or at least tilting back the Helm is needed,,
My boat is a 98 Sundancer and the top rail is disconnected and stuck back under the helm and the lower rail is also disconnected, So literally have to lift the door to open the cabin door. thanks for any idea how to proceed
Thanks
