Default JK Half Door Uppers Fit Snug! Any Ideas On A Fix?

Shipmates!

I did look on the SEARCH, and couldn't find a specific answer for my question above.

I installed my Factory Half Doors two weeks ago, and now the Storm Clouds are rolling in with 40-50% Chance of Rain all week. Gotta get the Uppers on!

I noticed that they fit rather Snug, and start to get a little stiff about an inch from reaching the Door Top. I don't want to force them in there and get them stuck, so, is there a RIGHT WAY or GOOD WAY to attach these? Not sure if I should be using some kind of Lube, or possibly sanding down the posts a bit, to get a proper fitment.

Thanks for any and all info!

UMMMM! UMMMM! UMMMM! A Jeep with Windows, is like a Submarine with a Screen Door! It just isn't right!

Cheers!

the uppers are similar if not the same as the best top soft uppers.. and when i put on my soft doors I had to use a hammer to "coax" the upper pins a bit so that they would go straight into the collars on the lower door...

dont hammer a lot.. a heavier hammer with some soft blows works good enough.. the trick is that all three pins need to go straight down into the collars...

I also white lithium-greased the pins as well and that seemed to make things easier..
