I agree. When I know I am going to get into some serious water, I put my factory doors on -- they work. My element doors don't even keep out road spray. They were a waste of money! If these doors seal well, I will be getting them.

We don't necessarily need a video, but could you just tell us how well they seal?

If you're asking about the Element doors, they do not even come close to sealing. You can see between the door seals and the Jeep body -- while seated! With the soft uppers installed (I have a lot of money in this set) they do well at keeping out even a hard rain. But water coming up from the road comes right in. And in a water crossing, you might as well just be using the tube doors.

Now, I am talking only about the tube doors with removable 'skins' when I say this. And, yes, I have them properly adjusted. They close perfectly and easily. But I have no idea why they even come with seals. It's just a joke!

YMMV. I have a '11 Unlimited.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread -- already in progress.
