    My Son used one on his 30 rpu and probably would jump in here with info, but he is at work, so I'll tell you what I know. For the money it really isn't a bad kit and is pretty well thought out. However, my Son did cut it up and redo it different than the way it comes. He was never going to fold his down and the way it comes there is a side bar that goes from the front and angles down below the window opening. He didn't like that bar showing without upholstery covering it so he cut it up and rewelded the frame so that bar is hidden now.

    Here are some pictures of how his ended up that might help you. Oh, one thing he also didn't like that we changed was they use screws to hold the front support brackets into the oak wood header. We countersunk bolts and T nuts because we felt the wind might eventually pull the screws loose.
