IBA doors

I know this has been discussed on here before, but I am needing to replace the doors on the auto bays. Was just looking for advice or suggestions in case something new has come on the market. I have airlift poly doors now that have been eaten away by water and soap until there is no way to attach the hinges.
 
Air lift XRS premium with counterweights is the way to go. I used to have poly air operated doors myself and what a bitch those were. If a customer asks me for some I wont even sell them. I always tell them to do the vinyl roll up XRS. A thousand times less headeache especially when you need them the most during cold temps and ice build up.
 
My concern with the vinyl doors is wind. Has anyone had good luck with them in 60 to 70 mph winds. I would hate to have them have issues in the middle of a blizzard
 
Air lift XRS premium we have had ours for 8 years with no problems at all. One of the panels got a little tear in it on one end just from wear and tear. Put some clear flex tape in that area and hasn't gotten any worse.
 
absolutely the airlift Vinyl rollup doors. The only issue I have had is with some of the rubber weatherstripping on the side, getting a little torn and catching the door as it comes down. That was easily resolved with some replacement rubber weatherstripping, which takes about five minutes to replace when you've got the right helping hand.
