It's not a difficult job. You just gotta be willing to cut a hole in the door which can be somewhat unnerving lol. Or I suppose if yer handy with a welder you could build a door with a window in it so you don't have to alter the original..

yea ive been toying the idea, the fact that the load door has a giant harman emblem on it is what aggrivates me if i would attempt it. its the only spot that a window could be put but adds so much extra metal to remove and since they are defunct i doubt i could obtain another if i botch it

I understand. Fabricating a new door with a window might be a better option for you. The Clayton handfed I used to have was bought second hand and was not a very well built unit so I wasn't too shy about putting holes in it among other alterations lol.
