NPD anti rattler problems

Post by fomocoguy »

So I'm about to order anti rattler kits and was wandering if anyone has had any problems at all with NPD kits. DC's are $140, whereas NPD's are $69.95. That's half price! Someone please assure me that NPD's are ok to buy.

Notice I didn't even mention LMC? Word travels fast around here... :lol:

i think the price diference is because dc is selling both sets and the npd price is for one set.

In the NPD catalog it clearly says "for both doors" with a part number of F-21460-9 , unless they mean it will work for either door. If thats the case they really need to clarify because it sounds like it's for both doors.

Was this just the rubber or the whole pieces that snap in? Please tell me it's not just the rubber. If it is, please tell me it was easy. :lol:

Ok, my anti rattle kit and vent window seals came yesterday, and today I was able to install the passenger side. I am happy to say that the $69.99 kit from NPD does include all seals to do BOTH doors. It has 4 pieces for each door: 1 felt/rubber run that goes from the inside bottom of the track up the rear and across the top, ending at the division bar; 1 shorter felt/rubber run that goes down the division bar; and the two pieces that go on the inside and outside where the glass protrudes through the door. Quality is A+, and fit was great. I think the only reason these are $69 and DC's are $140 is because these are made in Thailand, where DC's are made in the good ol' USA. I really like to support our guys, but it's awful hard when you're building on a budget and they are half the price.

BTW, the vent seals are also very nice and fit perfectly, with no problems whatsoever.
