If you have it in one car and not the other and you drive both regularly, it's annoying.

Yeah I do the opposite, I barely shut the defender door thinking it will soft close and it doesn't. Hence the annoyance.

Same here. Strangely, I didn’t have this issue with my Ford Expedition. . The Lincoln has soft close doors, I had no trouble closing the doors on the Expedition and remembering to let the soft close handle it with the Continental. The Defender is so much nicer than the expedition, that now I get them crossed.

For the price of my Defender it should have soft close doors and laminated glass, but it has neither.

I bought my painted larger fender flares for my 130 from them with good experience.

I just messaged 'summer' about these. (1) for the cost for 4 shipped to me int he US. and (2) whether they will be posting an install video to show whats involved.

^ you should buy 5 - that's when the discount starts, and you can add one for the rear door.

I'm not sure why you'd bother with Chinese junk.
