We didn't put holes in the doors because there were several different mirror styles offered, it's easier to drill holes than fill holes. There were the small sport mirrors, the more common "dumbo" mirrors and a couple different towing style mirrors. Can't put holes for all those mirrors.
is that the same as the cutoff for vent window design?
What are the most noticeable differences between factory replacement and aftermarket doors?
I don't like aftermarket body panels period,it's not just doors. And with all the complaints about fitment issues everyone's posting. I'd just skin my door. For those that don't know,skinning a door. If you take a grinder and run it around the very out side edge of the door,if you grind through just a few thousandth the whole outer sheet metal of the door will come off. You peel off the old crimp position a new outer skin a couple of tacks some seam sealer and recrimp. The door fits just like the one that came off. Because it is the one that came off. Actually you skin it without taking it off. Only skins I've done were O.E. skins when I worked in the dealer body shop. That's why I asked if there are good skins available.
The reason I asked is because I have 2 NOS GM doors, and 2 more new doors that I don't know if they are GM or aftermarket.
Welllllllllllll….theres like 5 or 6 different vent windows throughout the years. But only 2 are ever made and they basically just coincide with the body change, 73-80 and 81-91
Not that I know of. Whatever floats your boat, but I’ve seen plenty of OE doors not fit as well
Between a quality aftermarket door like ours and factory, there are none other than the holes for the mirrors not being there. We reverse engineer off originals and match everything. As far as our stuff, anytime there’s a fit difference, it’s just because of the wide variance in factory build quality back then. Basically whatever one we developed off is just different than the one the customer has. It’d be the same whether you reference our “aftermarket door” or the “OE sample” we used for development.
