I replaced the aluminum tracks with stainless sail tracks (west marine part # 184046) and the 4 "cars" with sail track stops (part # 386433). I filled and painted the old holes on the cabin. Make sure you install the cars and track to the hatch and then position the whole thing on the cabintop and drill each hole and screw in down one at a time. Otherwise the hatch will bind.
