Maryland 37: Sliding Door Removal on older Fountaine Pajot Trawlercat

[Spookytica]

Anyone with experience removing the single leaf slider on some of the older FP's. Mine is on a 2002 Maryland and has the friction style slider, without rollers. Door wont't hardly move any more and I need to take it out and replace the rubber strips top and bottom. There does not appear to be enough room to remove the door without removing tracks, but it looks impossible to get to all the screens in the track with the door installed.

Any ideas are appreciated.

We have the same boat and will have the same problem down the road. Our door is becoming harder and harder to slide. Unfortunately, not enough owners out there that have the Maryland 37's. I'll be following this post too...

We finally got our door off so we could put in new slides on the bottom. Turns out the center screw on the bottom track, which is impossible to get to, is not actually screwed into the fiberglass. The installers cut off a screw head and glued it in place to look right, but it is not a functioning screw.

Hope this helps someone else.
