Re: Who's makes the best fit replacement panels

Greetings,
We purchased all of the replacement panels we needed from LMC. For the most part the fit was ok. This included cab back corners and everything to rebuild the rockers and forward A-pillar. However there was one panel that I would not buy from them again. We needed a RH door and yes I did purchase if from them. Here are the issues:
1. Door latch is set in by 0.25-inches, Therefore the door doesnot close nor fit the body without a lot of work
2. The window height is too high, meaning that when you roll up the window there is another 0.25-inch gap
3. The angle at which the window frame is attached is incorrect, meaning that the window leans in too much and will contact the cab before the door latch is anywhere close to latching.
4. Outer door skin is set down too far. We assume that when the window frame is installed to the lower-inner door, this creates an the issue in which the door will not close because it is hitting the rocker panel.
OK, I am sorry for the rant about the door.
Good Luck,
MrBlue
