Thx the information you provided was very informative and knowledgeable. I'm thinking about putting these doors on my future Corvette purchase. Once it's all finished I'll drop you a comment.
That's a great question, but unfortunately I don't have the answer for it. Might be best to reach out to the company to be sure but I know they come in different lengths depending on the vehicle they are made for.
I'm sorry, but that is one of the worst tastes in vehicle modification I've seen in quite some time. The doors, the wrap, the wheels....you actually think that looks good, and respectable? It's like the tacky accessories aisle at AutoZone, but an entire car. It's a 2000's tuner spec build, on a muscle car, that was made 10 years after the 00's tuner scene. There's just so much I don't understand
So it took 3 years before you had to replace driver side strut? Correct me if I'm wrong but you said you owned the vertical doors for 5 years but 2 years ago the driver side strut went out.
Yes, but I can still use the door like normal. I just couldn't leave the door up on it's on weight. I still haven't taken the time to replace the strut to this day, but I can still use and drive the car fine without having to leave the door up. I can also still lift it myself if I wanted, just can't stay up itself. Hope this makes more sense. Thanks for the question and your time.
@thesinistercamaro let's say I get the Vertical doors installed, and later on down the line I want to go back to my normal doors. Would I be able to do that?
@joshuas9048 can't speak on other cars as the install may be a little different, but on cars like mine, you can mostly have it back 100% if you wanted. The only part you can't revert back would be the little bit of cutting to the fender you have to do. Worst case, just get new fenders or go to a salvage yard to get OEM ones if you wanted. Other than that, everything should go back to the way it was.
@joshuas9048 unfortunately, I don't off hand. That would be a question for the Vertical Doors Inc team. Feel free to message them via email, call, or reach out through IG. They are really nice and super helpful. Since they make the instructions to install them and install them in house, I bet they would know.
My car is 2 door and i wanted it for easier access. If it goes out then up it makes no sense to me then. If there was one thst went only up id take it. Going out then up is only for style then. Also my wires are at the bottom of the door so it will look weird. How do you close it when its up from the seat?
In order for the door to open straight up from the closed position, your car/truck would need to be designed for it. Since these are modifications for just the hindges, they are not going to do that without some serious fabrication, unfortunately. As far as closing from when you are sitting down, I have a metal piece in the bottom corner I grab or I can use the bottom tray of the door panel to pull mine down. It's heavy, so the strut has to be tough to hold it up too. If you have a lighter door like a Corvette, it's much easier to pull down and let up. Hope this helps.
If you pressure wash directly on the motor, it could cause failure. I've driven my through puddles, standing water, etc and it's been fine. It's tucked enough to not be as big of an issue as long as you don't specifically shoot up 2500+ psi or whatever at the motor for the steps. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by
Are you asking for the process or the bulb? I think I put the bulbs I used in the description but the process is the same. Twist/pull to get it out of the socket, pull bulb out, put new one in, push/twist to get it back in the housing. Hope this helps.
Wast time pluging his wife asking how you doing.than introducing new black parts against black t-shirt back ground could not see nothing.if not. More confusion
Confusing grammar, but I think I get the basic concept. My wife doesn't do these things, so I showed that even she can do it and it's easy. Black shirt issue was addressed in other comments and corrected in other videos already. Other folks have made it work with this video so maybe a video setting issue on your viewing device that can be altered. Otherwise, nothing else we can do with this video. Thanks for stopping by
I see they have a kit for the 99-04 keep Cherokee, but any other kits you would need to reach out to them. Great question I'd love to know the answer to with the bulky wrangler door hinges if you wanna let us know. Hope this helps.
Usually, hyperflash happens when you have a low resistance if you are going from a regular bulb to an LED or you have a bulb out completely. What bulb did you use to replace the old one? Are you working on the brake light or reverse lights?
I was taught to cut the top of the box and slide it under the old filter before removing it to help prevent crud from falling down into the blower motor. Always worked for me.
If you plug the old bulb back in, does that work still? If the old bulb doesn't come on, then could be a fuse. If the old bulb does come back on, your new one might be a dud. I've also seen where it could also be the trunk latch since that's what controls it coming on also. Fuse on the 5th Gens for trunk light are in the instrument panel fuse area and it's labeled F23.
Thanks for the info. I was hoping you answer my question, since you mentioned your going to answer all your questions and everything you need to know. I was thinking how hard is it to go back to stock after. If it’s a DIY or your would have to take it back to the shop.
You could do it yourself as long as you kept the stock hindges (or buy new ones), get a used or new fender (since the fender would need to be cut a little and you can't reverse that), and you would also need to replace the insulation in the fender for the road noise. Parts could be gotten from a doner car or a junkyard if you're can't find them on eBay or marketplace. Hope this helps.
@@thesinistercamaro haha A lot of the things you’ve mentioned experienced I had already seen being the length that I’ve have the doors. I’be had them longer than what most ppl even keep their cars
Lots of people would rather not deal with them and would rather do it themselves. I know I wouldn't trust someone who asks what motor is in my car when looking for wiper blades personally, but that's just me.
@thesinistercamaro That's because there are submodels of cars. Meaning one model with a different engine might take a different size wiper. Not a big deal answering their questions for free service. Some people here said struggled for 1 hour in the rain. Is that smart??
Interesting question I haven't been asked before. I haven't heard of it affecting anyone's insurance. Of course, with all things, if you want to cover custom parts, you can put it on your insurance, and that will make it go up since they are covering more, but usually people just put them on and don't tell insurance. If the car gets stolen or crashed without insurance to extra pieces you put on, then we chuck it up as a loss and move on. It's all a matter of preference, but I can say I have never added my additions to my insurance plan. Hope this helps.
@@thesinistercamaro yes kinda ! I was more curious if the insurance ever caught wind of the fact that the value was higher because of all the mods I want to add that they might raise my insurance premiums !
@@jorqlip you can willingly call them if you want but they will want to know more about how much $$$ you want to insure rather than the actual aftermarket part. If you don't tell them, they won't see it as an added value and will just give you the fair market value for the car itself in case of a crash or theft. I haven't hurt of many people wanting to do that unless they have something like a high value exotic or restored classic car. Basically, it will only go up if you choose to want to insure it yourself.
Hello seeking help. I have these AMP Research on my 2011 Toyota Prerunner Tacoma. Recently they won’t drop and rise as they are supposed to. They are out off warranty as a result company won’t provide any information on maintenance of these such as calibration or proper lubrication if needed. If you have any information that can help it would be highly appreciated.
I CHANGED BULBS, HARNESS AND RIGHT SIDE REAR SIGNAL AND BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STILL NOT WORKING BUT FRONT RIGHT SIGNAL WORKS BUT FLASHES FASTER THAN LEFT SIDE.
