Like you, I bought one from Mac's (vintique).....what a POS. I ended up using the division bar and the fuzzies(with some old clips I had). The window channel was just wrong. I went to my local auto glass guy and ordered some channel that worked good. It doesn't have the chrome bead on it, but that's ok ....at least the windows go up and down now!

I just bought one from Classic Haulers, and it was good quality. Easy to install and it fit correctly.

I chose to go with classic haulers as well. I will be trying to install them next week. I will post an update once they are installed.

I agree with the quality of MACS....Bought a headliner and retaining clips and they shorted me 19 of the 20 clips and the headliner was a sorry excuse too.
