IMO i would drill out the holes on the door latch oblong to give you more adjustment up...since there is no door lock to worry about this should work
my 2c
I will give that a whirl.. Thanks

Sorry to just get in on this, puter's down...again! I understand mine is one of the ones that is wrong and need to know what I need to do and also when and if I need to pay anything. Please let me know asap where I stand and what I need to do on my end to get this taken care of. I'll be checking at least every other day in this thread. Thanks.
Are you using the OEM latch on the body or the one sent with the door? The OEM latch will not work properly. The one supplied with the doors would hopefully.Half Door Alignment
Has anyone tried fitting their half doors? I'm having some serious alignment issues. Basically the hook latch on the body cannot go low enough for the catch on the door to grab it. I have to force it up and over the hook latch to get it to shut. But then I cannot open the door due to the bind. I tried several different angles and positions for the adjustment on the tub. No matter what it is too high.
I have moved the door around on the hinges with no luck. I even tried moving the latch on the door with no luck. Here are some pics.
Eshan what year is the tub you used to test fit these doors?
You can see the door angles up on the righthand side. It does this to get up on the latch.
This is as low as the hook/catch can go
It barely fits on the catch here..
It hits the catch/hook here..
I have messed with this for 3 hours and decided to see if I can get any other input.
Ehsan
Well, it looks like I am lucky #4!!!! I received a gray top instead of my black top. What is happening to resolve this, and who do we contact??? I already spoke to T.R. at ARB, and I am going to have the top shipped to my house and deal with it from here. Hopefully Ehsan will step up and get this handled ASAP!!!!
Ahh ha...found the hardware loose in the packaging...f-ing customs cut everything off the doors for inspection
Hope it fits.. Would love to see pics..
Ehsan
Al, I just heard about your problem... rest assured Ehsan will help resolve it as well as the others.
Rodney (bull) will help you with whatever information you may need and should be contacting you shortly.
For everyone else, I want to re-iterate that we were very, very fortunate to have the gracious help of TR and the fine folks at ARB.
As we have said before, PLEASE do not put ARB in the middle of this.
They provided a port of entry, a broker, a warehouse, a crew to help unpack and sort and they are shipping our stuff.
It is our individual responsibility to accept shipment to our home just as if ARB was never involved. If the kid in the funny brown shorts dropped off your box and you opened it and discovered it was wrong, you wouldn't take him to task for it!
I hope that everyone has gotten their stuff by now, and if there is something wrong, you need to take it up with Ehsan directly and negotiate your own deal for a shipping credit or whatever.
I'm going to go open my stuff and see what color top I got.

Larry, I read in another thread somewhere (can't put my finger on it now) that some people did shorten the rear poles for fitment... do you know about that?
Eshan, Did you come up with any photos of how the windshield bracket should fit, Im fairly sure that my top is too short to use it correctly, maybe someone measured wrong??? Larry[/QOUTE]
Here is how the channel should be installed.
I got my top yesturday. It was the right color and it looks like everything was there except for the turnbuckles and the ring that the turnbuckle goes through. I just ordered some turn buckles and sourced a tool and the eyelets
I will try to test fit tomorrow and post up my results.

Pass that info on when you post your results, I suspect that many (me first!) would like to get in line to buy the tool from you and keep passing it along to the others in the group.
