No kidding. $20 worth of canvas plus $20 worth of wire framing somehow equals over half grand for soft doors. Well, 4 of em anyways.

Yea I can't bring myself to pay full price for these doors. I like them but not that much.

Someone should also mention the con that these doors will rip through your female door hinges, because these clowns didn't bother to match their hinges to the stock ones (you just get a thin metal stick). After one summer my hinges were done for.

Rain coming in is a big deal. Happens every time, in considerable amounts. (Yes i fitted).

So is the highway wind problem, but i fixed it with a velcro strap connecting both uppers by passing over the visors. Will try the bending solution described too

My locks actually fell out on their own sometime in the second year.

Flapping of the lowers (fabric vs frame) was so annoying on highway that i cut out yoga mats and insulated them against themselves.

And somehow i still love these doors, because they are the most practical thing i've wasted my money on with this jeep, and because we're so used to paying premium for shit that falls apart anyways that I didn't even blink.

Took a road trip last week, and we decided to try a little something just for the sake of being able to converse a bit on the trip. We took our camping pillows and but them against the doors between the seat and it worked like a charm. Got it nearly as quiet as stock doors. Lol. Not going to do it full time- just thought I'd share it incase any of you feel like giving your ears a little rest on a road trip.
