i had been in contact with lewmar a couple of years ago trying to procure a trim kit for the 60 Series. I was told that no parts for my hatch were still in the distribution chain and i would need it to change the hatch out to the “new” style hatch. Corner radii are different. i met a fellow 37+ owner in Nanaimo that had changed his Series 60 out with a hatch from Australia. He said it fit right. I’ll drop him a line and see if I can get the info again. Good luck.
