Right now, they are on indefinite hold.  The owner closed the doors last month and I don't have any updates on them.   All the panels I had are sold.  I did hold on to a set, just in case...

Are the rod door panels the custom door panels you have on the site (rd-3060)? I was just about to order them.

You must have searched for those because I removed them from the listing, they are not available right now.

Funny you posted that, these are ready to go again.  There WILL Be a 12 day delay on the rear panels since he is going too make them as they are ordered, and once is inventory is depleted there may be a 7-12 day delay on those, but they will be going out now.

All products are back in the catalog, so order up.

Chris,
will he just be making them as per order or is he going to be back in business full time? I would like to order a set but funds are short right now and wont be able to buy a set till probably summertime...

thanks

full time, but it will just be him, so he isn't going to keep a ton of inventory/overhead.

Right now only the rear doors are built on order, he has more than 5 sets of everything else.

Woo Hoo! I sent an email to Rod Doors directly and was able to get a set he had in stock. That made my Christmas! Anyone know what triming had to be done to fine tune these to fit?

the best way is to fit them first, and see what needs trimming but you will have to cut out for power switches or Manuel window crank and the door lock rod

There is a bump/dimple where the window crank is, just find it and drill it out.

Sweet! Will order a pair in the next day or so!

Yea, I am test fitting them now, I have power locks and shaved doors. It looks like the side closest to the lock rod fits ok, but the side near the wind wing needs quite a bit of force to make it snug up to the window. Did you guys only use the Durloc to hold it or were there screws under 2nd piece that goes over the top.

Don't mind the paint on the glass. I have to swap the glass with my other doors.
