Dome lens cover

Anybody else notice poor fitment of dome lens covers? My OER one i ordered is about 1/16" too long. width looks good, but corner radius seems a bit off too. Its too cheap to return but just wondering who sells the good ones? Thanks!

Re: Dome lens cover

I’d like to know too. I’m up against same thing. One thing I hate doing, but do. Get the complete light. So it all fits together. Sucks but works.

Re: Dome lens cover

Does anyone make a clear lens? I have looked in the past and not found one. Not concerned with originality, just want more light in the cab.

Theoretically it shouldn't have been exposed to the elements, but my 55 year old one was perfect other than the brittleness.

Knowing the seller, these are top shelf, as good as it gets parts. These didn't age all that well, but they most probably haven't been exposed to heat, and UV.
