Yeah, I just heard from Jason over at Warrior Products and he told me about the limiting straps. I'm going to order up a set.

So I assume you have to drill a couple holes in the doors?

He didn't say, I'll see if I can find them on the site. My bet is they have some kind of velcro attachment and no drilling required.

The straps I bought at Walmart have loops at both ends. I've got some velcro cable ties I'm gonna use to strap them at the door end. The loop fits over the hook on the inside just like the regular door strap. I'll try it tonite and post pics......happy with the covers I made last weekend.

Didn't do a write-up. Bought the sunshade off ebay for $25, the wife got the hem border at some sewing store, got some UV/outdoor thread at Walmart, bought some grommets and velcro cable ties at Home Depot. Cut it to shape, sewed it up, popped some grommets in and there ya have it.......I'm cheap .
