Aftermarket Doors

Anyone try these doors? My RH side has buckled on the inside near the window, and inside the metal tore near the handle; cracked window frames where it joins the door. Anyone else experienced this? Not sure if these are worth the upgrade and/or just resold from AliExpress

Contact the Australian company, that is the better deal, but they state they do not ship internationally. They might though, because they also state they are looking to expand their shipping options. The aliexpress option seems cost prohibitive.

There is also a fellow on here that is in Saudi Arabia that sells used parts that may have a door that will ship to CA. Can't remember his nick off the top of my head, but try a search. Best of luck!

Thanks yea I could find a way to get them here. I can probably even source used doors here in Canada. I’m more curious if anyone has tried the 1.3mm thick doors and if are actually any stronger and worth the effort; paint, moving all the hardware over, etc etc

So reviewing photos off BAT and etc I can say this is a problem with these doors
My ute has these same symptoms

Sharing thoughts here. Making a plan to bend some sheet metal and make a brace/gusset on the inside of the doors. Try it on my truck and see what happens before committing to new doors. Will have to paint etc, but being on the inside I'm not super concerned
Something like this if makes sense

There is room between the body/door jam and the door in this area when shut so should work
Any thoughts appreciated
