    Possibly, but I haven't heard of anyone having to do that. It's hard to tell from pictures online how the doors of 7s and super sports compare to mine.

    Unless I am mistaken, the factory one piece doors are pre-formed acrylic and when doing polycarbonate it is a 2-piece, top/bottom affair.

    The 7 manual shows it is a single piece of .060 lexan.
