what i dont understand is why people pitch these things when they get
cracked.  they are fiberlgass.. they are FIXABLE.   the supply is running out, they
are getting harder to find, and everything used you find out there is cracked.
 you wont find a used one that doesnt need repair.
anyway, i have a bunch of fiberglass pieces, including the ones you are
asking about.. i also fix them.   send me a pic of your damaged ones..i can fix
yours, or sell you one that is ready to paint, plus your old fixable ones as a
core. i fix them professionally w/ fiberglass matting/resin and filler, smooth
them, and shoot them in primer.  pieces come ready for the topcoat of your
choice.

by the way, the pieces you are asking about are the hardest ones to find out
of the whole set..with the one after the sliding door being the hardest to
find.

let me know..
