Has anyone had a problem with the fit of Body Armor Trail Doors?
I started to install them on a 2010 Unlimited and the front door wont even close much less engage the striker. I have them mounted correctly but even without the latches on, the door will not close. The instructions say you may have to modify the factory hinge but I am not running these doors permanentely and don't want to run into problems with the factory doors.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

No one seems to have had any problems but I thought I would do a follow up.....
Other than modifying the doors to fit, creating new slot patterns on the doors or modifying the body frame, they would not close properly.
I contacted the manufacturer and they were awesome! They took care of the issue and the doors fit nicely. Very secure.

The issue was the door would not close enough for the striker to get a positive engagement. The company replaced the door. It still rubs a little against the frame in one spot, but a little Gorilla tape on the door helps.
Doors are very nice.
