Does anyone know were to get the fully waterproof door? I just bought a used GoPro HD but it only came with the vented motor sports door....

I emailed GoPro but no response yet. Ebay doesn't seem to have anything unless I'm blind. And I don't really wanna fork out $40 for the replacement housing.

duct tape the inside and outside of the door for a quick fix.

GoPro sent me the waterproof door at no cost! Pretty rad, even though its just a little piece of plastic, they could have easily told me to spend $40 on a new housing. Whew!

Anyone have an extra glass lens they want to sell? I don't want to pay $20 for two of them online hahah, but I'm probably going to.

Also, the cool thing about having the Non-Waterproof door is being able to get some pretty good sound....I shot this test last week, pretty good showcase of the GoPro HDs sound IMHO....

Wow, you're fucking legit. Even if you work for GoPro, that's just a genuinely nice thing to do. Respect

I remember that the latch on the case broke on mine and for some reason my dad (I guess he was feeling nice) went to some store and bought a new case and it came with both of the doors for about $40. I think it was some mountain biking store so I don't really know where you could buy one. I'm pretty sure Best Buy is going to start selling GoPros so if you can wait a little while, you could probably buy one there.

True. Haha. I legitimately didn't see your post, like... At all! I read through (what I thought were) all of the replies. Long day...

Well, two things. One, when I was typing that, you're post wasn't up yet. I went to a different window halfway through typing it. Two, the only thing your post had that was similar to mine was that it said $40. I don't see any other similarities.
