I am quite positive it wasn't anything close to that. I took mine out years ago and I remember thinking that all the work was definitely not worth it. I would guess it was about 5lbs each. The metal wasn't that thick for them. I didn't fully remove them though, just cut them off at the ends so I didn't have to drill the spot welds and possibly mess up the door skin.

Doing this saves 20lbs per door (factory glass is still in)-
