Where did you move the window switches to or are the windows fixed in the up position?

didnt the DMH save 16#'s

do you mean there 9#s a side lighter or for the pairs?

how are they at the top, do they keep the window form rattleing? Dont the stock door panels have the rubber at the top of them for that? Ive never had my stock door panels off so I dont know much about them.


I think these would give you a bunch of more room. Without the molded "L" door handle in the stocks, couldn't you make you cage doorbar strait and closer to the the door with these?

The seal at the top of the door panel doesn't hold the window in place. Under the door panel there are a couple of adjustable felt pads that keep tension on the window.

DMH made them essentially as light as possible.
