Hi,
Anyone have this kit installed?
1. Are they good quality?
2. What is in the kit? complete with glass, latches, seals?

Thanks,

Dave

they look like wolfgangs. if that is the case, they are ok, not as good as original or izz's or creative engineering

all of that is personal preferance and opinion. I think izzys flex to much and crack glass too easy, but his seals are better than wolfgang.

i just installed both an izzy kit and a wolfgang kit in a couple customers buses,i guess i would rather have the wolgangs (we had to take the izzy driverside apart and rework it) but honestly they both wreak of chinese poop....the originals are worth the money/wait

i guess so, the only izz'z ive seen broken were from obvious misalignment during install. at the same time, i've seen cracked wolfgangs from flexing while open at speeds, yustrn's bus routinely saw high speeds with the izz'z at all kinds of different positions, and no cracked windshilds. at the same time, we used the wonfgang cheap seals and not izz seals. go figure 8)

Plus, after you order and pay, it takes "Izz" forever to make and ship your stuff. Creatives are real nice, but nearly the cost of O.G., so why go that route?. I have Wolfgangs, front and rear. They are nice/fine for the $$$.

i'm lucky i guess, i call and make arangements, pay and pick them up in person, so no problems there. His customer service has always been top notch for me. I'm generally an unlucky person, so i wouldn't chalk it up to luck

well I bought a set of wolfsgangs about 9 months ago. I just installed them a couple days ago. They fit almost perfectly, their shape is very accurate. The seals fit very nicely and conform to the corners well, I have dealt with Izzy seals and they do NOT like to stay in the corners.

my ONLY issue with wolfsgang safaris, is that the weld-on tabs supplied need considerable reworking for proper/smooth alignment. Yes you can just weld them on, but their shape puts stress on the sliders and window tabs.

Mike, if you like Izzy's seals you can have the set I got from him...for free.
