Product
Sims Cab Depot products are designed exclusively to work with Sims Cab Depot cabs and enclosures as indicated in the "Enclosure Associations" link present with each saleable item. Sims Cab Depot products are NOT OEM replacement products. Many products offered by Sims Cab Depot can be used as an alternative to an OEM equivalent option, as in for example, glass or heater kits.
