    Saddle box broken part # 560116 - how to repair

    Well folks I loaded my basement wrong and have started to have the saddle box break away from the door lip. What I am talking about is the black tub that sits just inside the basement door on both sides, similar to other models. Any thought on how to repair this straight lip? Or do I just order a new one?

    Thanks Keith

    If you're talking about the screw holes cracking or pulling off the screws, fender washers or 90 degree aluminum molding around the edges will work. If you're talking about a crack in the tray itself, it's time for a new one (or make your own out of a tougher material). I believe the stock ones are ABS plastic and don't lend themselves to common repair methods.

    We already replaced one of ours. Like Rob said, they din't fix well
    We added washers to help prevent the cracking at the screw holes . Also added a couple more screws along with closed cell foam between the tray and trailer. Plus a metal door sweep bar so nothing catches it as we load and unload the basement and starts a crack. The first one started to crack within the 2nd year. This tray has been on 2 years and is holding fine.

    Does anyone know the part numbers and where to buy them for the saddle boxes on a 303RLS? I was not able to find it on the GD website parts look up tool. Thank you

    I was able to repair mine using aluminum angle and reinforcing the lip and posted about it at the other place as I mentioned a few years back It has held up very well with no issues.

    The saddle boxes on the 303RLS are quite a bit longer at about 56 inches. I'll just call the Grand Design parts Department next week.
