My port side curtain on my 2007 Marlin has a 6 inch split in the see thru plastic. I had a guy come out and make a recommendation. He wants 900 bucks to replace the one curtain, but said he would do all the curtains for 1900. I have not found another shop willing to take a look yet. What do you guys think/recommend? Thanks.

Had a guy do all the front, side & rear curtains on our 2005 Marlin for $1200 CDN. $1900 seems on the high side.

I seem to be losing replies so I will repeat.
If your canvas is good, the clear panels can be replaced for a lot less that the entire curtain.

Try AJ Canvas in NC. They probably made your enclosure for the factory and could replace it exact. For not much more than 3X that quote you can prob get a total new enclosure.

Update: Frankie at Dockside Canvas is replacing the clear panel for 120 bucks. Way cheaper than replacing the entire port curtain.

That is a good price. Many charge 1/3 of that for even a couple of seam re-sews....

Just had isinglass replaced on my side window. He cut out the old glass, removed the zipper, and reinstalled zipper in new glass on the existing canvas for $150
