I've been wanting a set too, but I'm waiting until they are available in twill. My OCD will not allow for mismatched fabric.

I know this is an old thread but I'll post anyway. I just installed the softies on my 4 door. Very easy to install and adjust. I still have to tweak them a litttle bit more but overall a great product for what they are intended for. They will be great for around town or short trips at highway speeds.

Here's a pic:

Those look great! I've still got to pick up a set for the rear, but I love mine. I'm getting ready to throw them on for the summer, and I won't go back to hard doors again until probably November.

I've been running them since July. They don't sound any different that having the doors off at highway speed. They don't leak too bad going down the road, but they did leak parked overnight in a thunderstorm, so I just throw my trail cover on if weather is expected. It makes it super easy to go doorless and have them in the back just in case. I love 'em, and would definitely buy them again! I had soft doors on my CJ5's and CJ2A so I knew what to expect. Here's a few pics of my JK with them on.

I really need a set. Had soft doors on my TJ for years.

I love my soft doors. Put them on in early spring and remove them late October. There are issues with these like many posters here stated. I had to do the pipe insulation mod to prevent flapping and had to do the Velcro mod to prevent the doors pulling away from the Jeep at highway speeds (always forget I attached it and try to open doors). These are minor issues. My biggest issue with them is the leaking when parked in the rain. I've tried adjusting them many times and still seem to have an area that leaks on both drivers and passengers side at the top corner near the windshield pillar. Every year I try and play around with it with no success. I always end up with a puddle in my weathertech floor mats. This wouldn't be a show stopper but enough water gets underneath and needs to be dried out. If anyone came up with a brilliant solution I would be grateful! Otherwise I'll keep trying something. Despite this issue I wouldn't trade them for anything. I run doorless as often as I can and being able to keep the doors with me is priceless.

4 years (everyday) and counting.

The only thing I can mention is that the velco on the door has disintegrated from the SW Florida sun. It still works, but barely.
