With some help from a couple members - I recently bought a 2017 375 Freedom. I've owned a number of Grady's over the years and so excited to be back!

I'm somewhat anal about maintenance and have been looking for OEM parts to replace weathered/broken/tired/dried out parts.

If you've had a similar experience you realize it can be difficult to find even 6 year old parts as Grady has apparently used different sources. If it's helpful to anyone - I'm keeping a list of vendors/manufacturers and will gladly share.

My best source and terrific customer service has been with IMTRA and I've found numerous parts from them including replacement pneumatic pistons for the front pedestal table/seats (Norsap).

I believe door handles are from Southco and many of the lights are from Lumishore. The sunroof is from Webasto as is the replacement Sunblind/flyscreen.

Seat cushions, vinyl and canvas are wild cards with prices to repair/replace sun damaged cushions all over the board. I can use some help here.

I'll continue to add to the list and with some help from other members - when I finish in a few weeks - I'll have a comprehensive list I'll gladly share.

As far as the cushions, vinyl, curtains etc. Find a good local shop to fix/repair or replace. You may have to ask someone local and/or get quotes.
 
X2. GW has used many different manufacturers over the years. They control the patterns and the last manufacturer was Llebroc that I knew about. They won't sell direct.
Best to find a local marine canvas shop. They can get the exact materials and fab them up for you.
 
Thank you all. I did find a good local shop for cushions and canvas and 'Grady vinyl' is readily available. Replacement door handles/locksets are from SouthCo and you can order online directly. (Surprised how quickly they corroded.)

You have to swallow hard if you need to replace the flyscreen/sun shade for the Sunroof. At $2450 plus freight from Webasto - I'll find an option.

$2,500 for a flimsy plastic shade? Holy cow! Mine is broken on my 2018 Express 330 but it looks like this may be a job for some $0.99 duct tape instead.
 
FYI.

FACEBOOK -> Rusty Rons in NC has lots of GW parts
 
oh...that looks a bit complicated. If it was a simple, velco attached screen, I was going to offer to try to make one for you. I have a commercial sewing machine.

It's BS that the sunroof is leaking.

Is it just the sealant of the actual "window"?
 
It's kind of random, and I'm not sure where they got them from or why they only have 3 of them, but RNR Marine has 3 parts manuals for different years of Grady Whites... but they only have 2004, 2007 and 2013. They might be helpful for some crossover parts from model to model, or seeing which vendor or manufacturer produces certain parts, etc. Might also be worth a call to them to see if they have your particular year, as I didn't see your model of boat even in the 2013 manual. Good luck either way.
