Default Vertical Door Hinges - Warning

I had the Vertical Door Hinges installed in June 2004. Take a look at what happened to the struts:
Passenger Side (I caught it before it actually broke all-the-way):

Drivers Side:


When they let loose, they damage your fender.

Brand is: VERTICAL DOOR

They offer a lifetime warranty.....but I decided that the bling is not worth the hassle. I replaced them with the stock hinges.

After 2 years I started to get wind noise at about 145mph

That's good to know

I'd like know if they actually are going to honor the warranty. So each time they break they are going to replace it?

There's another company out there that I'm looking into.

LSD-DOORS.COM
