We also got the barn door installed on Tom's Jeep and he drove home with it. He'll be running with it for the next week or so to test it.
In this first photo we've got the barn door installed although the wiper arm isn't on yet.
Here's the inside of the mounted door. The defroster grid is installed; the wires will be dressed a little neater when we reassemble the door after painting. You can see how the wiring runs from the tub to the door; the wiring cover contains the factory wiring for the third brake light, as well as our wiring for the wiper and defroster, and the hose for the washer. And of course Tom's ModuluS accessory mounting system is installed on the inside of the tailgate, and it also serves as the barn door mount.
I took this next photo sitting in the driver's seat, this is the view out of the rear view mirror. It's nice to not have the factory wiper motor blocking the view. The biggest view blocker now seems to be the rear seat headrests.
Tom will get some better photos over the next few days; it was getting late when we finished up so we didn't spend too much time getting photos tonight.
