Default Problem with Bestop Soft Doors

I have a weird problem. I have 4 soft doors on my unlimited. The driver's side front door, upper portion, wants to pull away from the door frame when you hit 50 mph. I'ts as if something is sucking the door away from the vehicle. Anyone else have this problem?

all bestop doors shipped were missing the 'Adjustment Collars'

this could be the problem -

2 collars per door and they adjust the upper part.

if you all bestop they will send them to you.

Chris,
The adjustment collars should be there. I definitely put them on the pins before I boxed them up.
As far as pulling away at speed, this scared the hell out of me the first time it happened. I did the adjustment but it didn't seem to help much. This was part of my disappointment with them. I hope you are getting good use out of them. Take care.

that happened on my YJ. It seems like the norm for soft doors.
