    Sorry to hear that, man!

    Also can I say that DPI's price is actually insane considering it includes the louver support buffers?

    Only two more sets at this price! Then a price increase due to the louver strips going through the roof.

    We are now out of the Louver support brackets at the listed price.

    Door Seals and Roof Seals

    We have been selling seals for years that are 1/8" larger in tubular diameter to better compensate for the difference in front /rear position of the door. Take a look--

    Note of caution though: Installation of the upper door seals (rubber strips) is a real job. If you take it to a professional be sure they know what they're doing. Josh offered free tech assist via phone to the very reputable shop I took 1258 to, and they disregarded it and decided to do their own thing. The results were dammage to the tops of one of my doors. It's the toughest part of the job and need to be done correctly.
    Curious as to the warnings/difficulties with this part of the procedure ?

    I don't think this is the case anymore.

    I purchased the DMCH kit and it did not come with clips, and the inner door seals internally contain a thick U shaped metal the whole length down. I had to remove my old clips and push very firmly to get the new stripping on - is holding and working an absolute treat.

    BTW I was very tempted to get your kit, but needed the louver support buffers (which yours no longer has) as one of mine is broken (though admittedly still worked fine, just didn't like the look of it).

    Thanks! I started keeping those for in house use only until we reproduce a better replacement. Dmc jacked the prices for no reason.
