His user name on the forum is Daytonalo. I think he gets $325 per pair. They are made of stainless as the originals were. 70 Charger R/T SE 472 Hemi 70 Charger R/T convertible 70 Charger R/T V Code Sixpack 69 Charger R/T SE Sunroofcar 68 Charger 383 68 Charger 318 71 Charger R/T 70 Challenger convertible 71 Challenger convertible 71 Cuda 340 09 Challenger R/T Classic

The tabs on the edge towards the windshield go into the lap seam of the windshield gasket. It may be easier to unzip the gasketseam to get the screws started. Zip the gasket back together before tightening them all the way. Tighten the ones on the windshield side first. Then tighten the ones in the door jam. You may have to apply some pressure to get a tight fit.

I thought I was doing something wrong or was missing and additional piece of trim. I had the photos we took before disassembling the car however there were no detial photos of that area. If you have the time and don't mind, a few more photos of the area at the windshield gasket would be awesome. Thanks again, Joe

Gotta take the window seal channel out first, install the deflectors and then reinstall the window seal channel. This is the reason the Superbirds have two screws directly into the deflectors, don't have to mess around disassembling the car.. Yo Pete..

We're trying to refinance the house now to cash-out to pay off that big debt of mine you know about. I'm working with a local friend of mine to try and get a bulk order of AMD products to get free shipping. If so, I'll be able to get the floorpan. Barring that, I still need to get the complete brake system going. I'm fairly confident on the drivetrain now.
