I have 2 passenger side safaris and was told by the person who gave them to me that they were from Barndoors. is there a way to tell if they are or not. I can post some pics tomorrow but was curious if there were some distinguishing marks to look for..

Barndoor Safaris have 2 hinges at the top, instead of one long piano hinge (like a pop-out window would have).

You can sort of see them in this photo:

the dirrection of the hinge, latch tabs, and slide rivot tabs. the windows are not perfect squares so you could not just flip one around.
