It's easy to do one by yourself. It's what I did...

Why doesn't it fit? did you modify something because the 07 should be the same as my 06 and I have the first production style.

Hi Dave,
Stock doors. I've been informed that Ford changed the hinges along the way...maybe it was in '07? My hinges do not allow the rearmost side cargo to hinge back towards the van body enough for the Door Talon to comfortably get close enough to the wheelwell. If I REALLY force the door back on the hinges then the end of the hook will barely catch in my Bushwacker flare--but the hook is still far away from the metal fenderlip, and especially since I don't want to be reefing back on the side cargo door. I'd say the hook is an easy 1+" away from the metal fenderlip. I could take some pictures if it'd help.
It'd be great to know if John found a production date change in hinges that prompted the ver2 style.
PS--nice RunCool hood vents.

Yep, I spoke to John about doing these and he seemed he was for it, except he wanted to check w/ SMB. SMB is dragging their feet. 
Bummer. John let me know if anything has changed. Thxs.

Yes ! 
Sorry, I cannot find a picture of it. I made it of some aluminum 3/8'' plate, easy to cut. And you can make it in special length you need.

Alan or Jonathan at SMB told me late last year that they only had a few ver1 Talon's left in stock(I got one of the last ones), and that they didn't think they'd push forward with making any more.
They do not list any on their site, nor any mention of "Coming soon" so it seems that SMB has dropped the ball forever.
John, we need you to offer these again!!!

Dave, here's a picture. This was with me really pushing the door HARD against the hinges.

Picture??? Are we having picture issues again 
I saw one of the redesigned models but thought that was just for the 08 and newer. I understand though, if it needs to be longer...
