Whats the differance?

NPD F-21460-9 ............. $69.95

DC D1TZ-8121460-CA ... $140.00

Are the parts that much differant?

Holy cow... that is a big difference. Do they include the exact same parts? I'd be curious about the difference there, too. I'll bet NPD's do not come from DC in this case...

I just picked up a felt kit off of Craigslist here, and they're made by a company called Re-Pops:

They're VERY nice quality. I'm not sure whether either DC or NPD sell kits made by them, but the guy I bought it from said it ran him around $150. He sold his truck before he got to install it.

PM if you want closeup pix of it.

Check the descriptions again of what you're looking at with regard to NPD vs. DC. Does the NPD kit for $69.95 include the division bar? Looking at the catalog last night, it appeared it did not. Too add the division bar runs it up to like $130. So if DC's kit includes the division bar, the price difference is a lot closer.

Personally, I'd buy from DC...

Ya I guess I missed that, well not realy. I don't need the Division Bar, just the felt in it.

Do I still need to get the division bar? Or can I just get the felt?

I think that IS just for the felt... I could be wrong, though...

OK, I looked a little closer and called NPD. The $69.95 kit have the felt for the division bar.

DC's kit has the entire division bar. Mine is in good shape, so I am going with NPD....

Now I just need to spend $230 more so I don't have to pay shipping!

1971fordcustom,
How was the fit? Did they mess up the order or did you?

Thanks,

IT WAS ME THAT MESSD UP!!! I was talking to pual fish at the fl store and it was 20 mins past closed time and I was trying to be fast that was he can get home to his little girl, So I just look a wild guess!!! That way he woud not have to take 10 mins and find out!

The body man and I had to do just a little triming, Sense there new they make it kind of hard to roll down the glass but after time they will limber up.

P.s you can get some parts for ME that way you can get free shipping

Just an Idea!!!

Be carefull of the vent window eubber if you cange it as well. Got mine from DC and it leaks air BAD. I have to keep a couple coins under the lock to keep the noise down.
They would not help me on the problem. I got a bad experience from DC over all. Spent around $2500 there over a month or so. Door handles faded in a year. Arm rest split in 6 months. Door push buttons peeled first 6 months.
Side of hood emblems faded after first year. They would not help me on anything.
