Wish I had gotten photos when the RV place rebuilt my back door, everyone else who's rebuilt their doors said the wood frame inside the fiberglass skins was total junk.
No plywood sheet on the top, just a strip that runs the boarder where the canvas staples to about an inch wide and the cross bracing. Hopefully it'll hold up a little better being fiberglassed in.

My door is definitely in bad shape too. Wood is rotted and the honeycomb insulation is all but gone. Can't believe that's all they used.
