Most people won't want them for daily driving. I haven't driven them in the rain, but I expect they won't be very water-tight. I mainly will use them as "emergency doors" to keep in the back if there's a chance of rain when I have the doors off, as well as using them when riding from home to the trailhead on a cool morning.

yeah...I want to run them all summer...I realize they are loud etc. but i have a short commute and the only long drive I have in the summer is to the shore where I would run with the top half off, and only a full door in bad weather.

I just want an easy option that keeps me pretty dry... even If I run it through the car wash on some days. def needs to be pretty dry in rain on the way to work.

Default Very Dissapointed - Going Back

The set I got were poorly sized. When it was latched I could insert my finger inbetween the door and the sill! I probably would have lived with that but the rear door would not even close Bestop didn't cut away any metal behind the top door pin and it would hit the hinge and prevent the door from closing!

Default Soft doors

So this Bestop full soft doors are easy to put them up and down? I want to go doorless for the summer, but I am nervous when it rains. These full soft doors may be the solution. Can you tell me how long it takes to put them up?

I had them on my 06 LJ, takes under a minute. The pins on doors just drop in the hinges on Jeep. And top part of door has pins that drop into lower door and hidden velcro holds top to bottom, keeps them water tight.
Waitng on fronts from Quadratec.

The doors will fit perfectly...ignore what was said about putting the finger through the inch space. There's four little nuts on each door that you will tighten/loosen and adjust to make the door fit nice and snug (it only takes like a minute of your time to adjust).

The doors are definitely loud on the highway because of how thin they are, air will come into your Jeep. I don't care though cause I drive on the highways with my doors off. But they are great for emergency situations like what was said because you just throw them on. Also they're great for offroading because the fabric doesn't scratch like your doors.

I say get them, you'll be pleased with the products. My only suggestion is to also get the Best Top Soft Top cleaner too (only like 20 bucks)...that way you can keep them in good condition after some mudding or any offroading.
