ben, the next time you see Doka rear slider for $159 each or less let me
know.  i have been watching for the last few months and havent seen anything close
to being that cheap.

as far as the rust.. there is surface seam rust, and then there is rot.
they are not the same.  take a sander and sand the paint off any vehicle and you
will have surface rust..   "rot" means holes.  the structural integrity of the
metal is usually not compromised with surface rust.  surface rust is easy to
fix.  "rot"  or holes requires welding..   i dont mess with cars that have
"rot".
  i dont know how you can tell from the pics that this doka is "rotted" .. it
may just be surface rust, which is a easy fix.
either way, id still say its worth the money.
