Its hard to tell who sell the best unless you buy from two different
sources or had a bad experience with a supplier. If you had a good
experience you would probably not question it...I got mine from
Roberts in Massachussetts and the fit and quality was right for me.
the question I have here is some kits come with the words complete
however I had to order the cat wiskers and outside rubbers separate
if I remember I also ordered the door gaskets and the vent window
rubber and I changed all the glass at the same. I think the only
problem I had installing them were the vent window pivot rivet and I
used very small (and I mean tiny) sheet metal screws for the cat
wiskers in lieu of the metal staples. I used rivets everywhere else
that called for them. I do not believe I put the door gasket on yet
as I have some lower repair work to do. I have a wiring harness to do
next also. OH yeah! Roberts price was right as I ordered over$300
worth of stuff and the shipping charges were free.
