 |
|
Does anyone have an opinion on build quality, fitment, or anything else that would lead them to endorse sliding rear windows from one company over the other? I've purchased stuff from both companies and in general been happy with both. In fact I wonder if they're the same oem., they look similar.

I know installation is notoriously difficult, thanks to Kourt for this guide

I say the windows are from the same manufacturer. Only margins differ

Ok thanks, they do look amazingly similar. The van... looks like the same color and roof rack, but one has 3-point rear seat belts and the other doesn't... maybe?
That'd be hilarious if it was the same van, it def might be!
