Installing our Spartan Cab Doors is as simple as removing the plastic (molded) door and positioning the etched-metal door in place.  Please see the photo and model by Joe Gartman:



I would recommend removing the molded door by drilling through the door in numerous spots with a roughly #70 drill, then using a sharp blade to connect those holes.  Eventually you will be able to remove the material and clean-up the doorway.  Then, you can paint the metal etching to match and affix the part with CA glue of your choice - we recommend anything 'medium' viscosity.

Please feel free to contact us with any additional questions.  Thanks for the support!
