The 2 lefts was actually a local ebay transaction!!!! I got mine via ebay from California, no problems at all, well packed etc. Got em 4 a good price and freight was only $35 US but it took 6 weeks which was agonising!!. There's a guy on there always selling brazillian popouts, calls them nos i think when they aren't old, they are new ones for late model mexican/brazillian bugs that have small windows. His freight is horrendously expensive so watch out. Since you have a choice of 2 sets currently on here may as well buy local...
As far as fitting they are not meant to be too hard, drill a few holes in the flange on the b pillar, have someone hold the window firm against the car and mark & drill holes at the rear for the latch. Haven't fitted mne yet but this is what I've been told.
