I just read that message they have regarding their manufacturing process.
It's all true! It's been at least 2 years with them. Still work and look like day one. They also look like a factory product.

I'm not against anyone trying to make a buck, but Northlight invented them, perfected them and spent a lot, to produce a quality product.
Don't try and save $10 dollars on factory modified one's. You aren't getting a specifically designed product.
Just a guy in his garage with a Dremel. They should be much cheaper, sourcing them from junk yards probably. So the other guys are kind of sticking it to their customer's.

I think you mean they created these for f150's that don't come equipped. They did not invent these.


Yep did not fully appreciate these until I drove my wifes 2013 Edge the other day, it has the correct detents.


Need to get some of these one day!

You know what I mean... Maybe invented is too strong. Redesigned.

How about : copied the 2015 F150?

(that was a joke, btw)

I'm a little confused why we seem to be back on the vendor vs vendor topic, considering the other vendor quit re-machining them months ago.

I didn't know they had given up. That would end the conversation.
I like to see the wealth spread as much as anyone. I'm also still happy every day Northlight took the initiative and made my life just a bit easier...
For that, they've earned my loyalty.

Seems as if Ford copied them.. That's a joke!

Just found this thread. The poorly placed detents annoy me daily. I just ordered a set from Northlight.

If you love your truck and plan on keeping it. This is almost life changing...
Or a major annoyance remedied.. either one.

Absolutely life changing, or saving. For instance, I have not killed any of the kids for smashing the doors into nearby objects because of these detents. (although, technically, I got mine from a different supplier)

Update:

I've had these for 4 years (since the day I got my truck) and they work just like new; if they didn't, I'd buy new ones.
