I fitted the greddy sp2 catback system in my backseat. chances are, you'll fit 42" tv just fine.

When I bought my 65" DLP TV, I got that baby home with my Ford Focus! I put down a soft blanket on the roof. Then laid the TV in the box, screen facing up, on the blanket on the roof. Then used 4 ratcheting tie downs that went through the front and rear door openings and ratched that baby tight. Closed the doors carefully and off I went. The huge box became part of my roof. The car was really top heavy so I took turns with care. It worked great.

I used the same technique to bring home a full size box spring mattress on top of my 8 a month ago.

I don't get it. How much does the TV cost? How much would it cost to repair any interior/exterior damage to the vehicle?

Now, how much does delivery cost?

not trying to say I told you so and not to be an *** but it looks like a dealer wants $530 for a door panel.

Edit: I see this was done hauling off his old tv, I would have put a free sign on it and set it on the curb.

I dont even like putting people in my 8 let alone furniture.
