What happened to the old ones? It is generally worth repairing damaged
doors.

....and very easy to do with some glass tape, laminating epoxy and a
support form made from thin (1/16") ply or sheet alloy.

I did mine last winter. Laminated on enough glass tape to get the
original dimensions and thickness built up on the chewed front edges,
sanded that to shape and finished off with a layer of 1 oz glass cloth on
the outside. The light cloth wasn't strictly necessary but did give a
great finish.
