I was the shipper, so it arrived home here in Alaska intact. They were short one side window, so I'll get that locally.

Doors were slightly different than what came with my truck (cracked and delaminating), but seem to fit/function well after installed. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2016 Posts: 631 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2016 Posts: 631 | My local glass guy was twice the price a Classic parts. | | |
