todays non-progress:

1) Tailgate hinge is stuck... had to remove it, and its just plain ol stuck!
2) New BestTop rear window zipper is not catching correctly
3) Driver and Passenger upper door skins seem too small.. me and the hubby spent some time on 1 door then gave up and put the old skins back on.
4) I can't seem to find my other set of fender flare hardware... I even cleaned up Mike's garage a bit, and still nothing :/ . Looks like a trip to Home Depot is in order.
5) Wiper blades are not aligned correctly
So - Was Bestop of any help?

Help.. They said try to install during warmer weather. HA.. I still have a warranty for a few more years.

As far as the tailgate hinges.. I would have to send back the old ones and wait. I waited almost 6 months to receive them. I'm coming over tomorrow and trying again or putting the old white one back on.
