Following a recent fender bender I've been considering upgrading and buying a set of the 'bolt in' Altman easy latches for my '50 as my originals are getting somewhat worn.
Thankfully in the instance above the door(s) stayed shut,but i've considered the consequences had the doors actually popped.
I've read there has been some quality issues recently regarding some components that appear to have been outsourced.
Apparently a small pot metal part fails causing the lock to jam,have any of you using these experienced any problems?
I've been led to believe in order to actually open the door after the fact can result in damage to the door itself.
As many of you know i'm on the opposite side of the pond so I have to consider shipping and duties etc so they aren't that cheap either,even more so as the $/£ rate kinda sucks right now!
Any warranty/replacement situations that might arise are compounded by this and add to the fact my truck is a daily driver so being off the road for any reason is also very inconvenient to me,especially as replacements could take some time.
Any comments/input are welcome,
