At $160 a set, maybe I should start collecting and selling them, too. Curious to how he packs and ships them, though. That's what has always put me off.

I actually just bought and installed a set from the glendale guy today. Was actually pleasantly surprised with their arrival. Box was in good shape. Tons of bubble wrap. All hardware was accounted for and bagged. Even came with foam adhesive tape. Windows had a couple scratches (as described on eBay) and as expected for used.
I bought a tube of windshield adhesive which I squirted onto 1 window then changed my mind and cleaned off. I opted to use the supplied foam tape due to my idea for screens
Reading a post from another member about his screen idea I knew I wanted to screen it but was worried about bugs getting into the area around the latch so I actually stretched the screen across the mounting studs on the window before installation. I removed the bottom button post that the latch mounts to and ran it through the screen. I left a little slack at the bottom of the screen so the window could open.
I was a little worried that the screen would tear at some point and Id have to scrape all that sealant to redo is the reason I opted for the foam tape. At worst if it leaks, I remove it with no mess to clean and use sealant. I might opt for the solar screen next time because it is stronger.
I will be driving it this week with potential rain so I will post back how the tape worked
I am terrible at taking pics along the way but here is 1 showing the window closed and the slack of the screen which really isn't much
