Sheet of aluminum from Menard's.  Cut it to fit, a couple of screws, low cost, no paint, won't rust, light weight.]]> Thu, 20 Dec 2018 21:42:23 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12488&PID=118973#118973 Need a screen door part : Look on Amazon.

I don't throw much away!! I used the side of an old desktop computer case.  It was strong , free and available.  I cut it to the exact size, drilled the 2 holes, painted it black and it will last forever

Maybe I should start a business selling them!! would $50 be too much??
Just kidding

I had the same problem. As far as I can see, there is NO metal plate available. Even if the advertised latch says its metal, the plate is still plastic.

I had the same problem.  Mine broke near the top , below the top screw hole. I think it comes from the plastic handle being pushed out when the door is closed. I made a metal plate that is  the same size and thickness with holes in the same place.  paint it black and screw it on. It will last forever.

The plastic plate in front of the screen door handle on my 2015 178 has broken*.  I'm wondering if I can find just that part?  There is a local dealer and I may check with them but is there an on-line site with maybe some parts diagrams or micro fiche?

Would appreciate anything,  Mick

*I think the main door closes too tight and has caused it to crack
