Need a Measurement

My car is in storage and I bought a pair of doors from a member but I need to know if they'll fit in the back of a Chevy Trailblazer (rear seat down). I need to know the measurement from the bottom of the door to the top of the wing window on a 68 (or any post car will be close enough too)

Thanks,

Thank you very much. The Trailblazer is about 50" so it should work fine

If it didn't you can always unbolt the vent assy and remove it.

I know that can be done. The bolts usually break and the lower adjuster bolt has to be backed off to fit it out of the door. I know the seller just wants to get rid of them and for what I paid he shouldn't have to worry about having to unbolt them too. I'm not picking them up myself and I don't want the person doing me a favor to have to do any more work either.

Mike, you could also slide them in at a 45° angle to the floor? That would reduce the space requirement by a fair margin? Sort of like fitting drywall through a window on an angle.... Good luck with the doors - hope they work out well for you.

Thanks Allan

I bought the doors for the vent windows. I'd like to get a set re-chromed without having to take mine off and likely end up waiting months for them just about the time I want to drive my car.
