Anybody willing to bite the bullet to test one? Seems to look the part at least. If theyre up to the job it wont be long before Houston starts stocking them just like they did with the steering wheel canopys not too long ago.

I've bought one. I should have it next week, although it won't be on my car for a while yet (snap buy, because i feared they'd run out of the first batch and I'd be without a working driver door for x months...)
I'm trying to hurry on the resto of my car, so I'll let you all know in due course.
