[C320-list] companionway sliding hatch replacement

[Pat Moriarty]

There was a strip? Mine was broke when I bought it and it has never 
been a problem but the plastic is now slightly concave and will hold 
water. Have thought about heating it and curving it back but there is 
not much room for error/clearance.
