25 CD: rear door glass replacement?

[krc]

Boat was broken into sometime in the last few days. They broke the rear door glass to get entry - in a marina (Pittsburg, CA)
Anyway, I need to figure out what to replace,. '
1) Are there replacement parts for the handles and locks? Thinking I might as well replace new.
2) Would you stay with safety glass or go to something else like polycarbonate or ?
3) Is thee a way to buy a full door replacement (2006).

Various items stolen - mainly tools, binocs, etc...

1) Two sources that can give you info: Greg at NMI: (360) 389-5351 - can tell you who made those parts
and Advantec Marine at 1 604-607-0091: likely the ones who made the parts and can sell you a new door.
I ended up surfing the web to find a new door latch for my 22'.

2) I just went through this thought process myself and easily came back to safety glass. Polycarbonate scratches and turns yellow over time.

3) Advantec Marine can make almost anything that has to do with windows/doors for the C-Dory. The made the windows on 1999 22' and I think they make everything, including the complete doors, on curent C-Dorys. Be prepared to spend $$$, especially for shipping, which is outrageously expensive, if you cannot pick up at their Chilliwack, BC (3 hr. drive from Seattle) facility.

Thanks. Once I get back I will pull the door again (temporary fill with plywood).
I am thinking poly just because of its superior impact resistance.
There seems to be a lot of break in on boats happening right now in the area (per police/marina) so I think if I do glass they will just break it again. Poly may deter break-in better, but not sure how resistant to a pry bar the door lock mechanism is... will check that out. Thanks for the contacts.
I probably need to do a better job lowering curtains each time I leave the boat, but is a pain. Ironically, the stuff that was visible wasn't taken - they dug through drawers to find the cash, binocs (hidden in the vberth), etc... No poles or fishing geat was taken which was odd, but probably not as easy to fence/resell as some of the other stuff.
