Bought a set of Bestop fabric soft doors from Morris4x4 before the Bestop-announced April price increase. Arrived less than two days after I placed my order (amazing!). I bought the doors to make multi-day, open-air overlanding trips possible.
Front doors assembled and fit quite easy. Back doors assembled even easier, but were MUCH harder to make fit. One looked like no amount of adjustments were going to make it fit. The latch was just too far up for the striker on the door to connect when closing. I loosened everything a few more times, bent a few things, cussed more, and finally made that last rear door fit-ish. I still have to pull down on the door a bit when closing to get it to latch shut.
Despite the challenge of the rear doors, I am delighted to be free of the excess weight and on/off inconvenience of the hard doors, and relish the freedom the soft doors allow when travelling topless and doorless in the JT. Longer off-road trips will be more fun knowing I can easily carry the lightweight soft doors in the bed and throw them on if it rains.
Don't worry - my expectations are LOW - I just want the soft doors to keep out 95% of the rain and I expect them to be noisy as heck on the highway. My Glad is my second vehicle, so it is a bit easier to just drive it on fun trips or nice days.
