I have zero experience with OEM doors, but just installed my Puddle Buster doors and I’m not sure how I feel about them. Just curious if anyone else has an opinion on them.

The doors actually flew open while trailering Sunday. I was maybe doing 55mph. I’m not sure why they opened, but I just bent the hinges back and they are working fine again. I’m thinking about reinforcing the hinges with a few tack welds.

Not just for transport. But for security.... GPS... STEREO... And any other thing I've packed in the cab. Gives me sense of security when I stop at rest areas and such. Although mine are OEM full doors...

A ton of excuses: pandemic, no help, cardboard shortage, now there is a glass shortage. No contact whatsoever, if you go through Facebook they won't reply, and they will not answer their phone (apparently don't want to listen to people bitch). save yourself time and aggravation and order through someone else.

I was thinking about putting in an order as I’ve been waiting on can-am for well over a year to come out with soft door kits again. Seems it’s not very high on the list of things to do for them.
