Default Slide Glass Windows Half Doors

Anyone know if they came out with the half windows that are the sliding glass ones that I've seen on previous model jeeps. I would like to replace my zip up windows for the winter time to cut back on some noise and make it more comfortable for long distance travel.
Thanks!

Those are pretty nice! The fit at the bottom looks a little off though. Is this a MOPAR product?

These sliding glass door uppers are made for the Bestop element doors and soft doors but I'm pretty sure they will be making them for the Mopar factory half doors as well. I'd be willing to bet that the fit will be different on them.

If I remember right, the SEAMA show that showed them, either had in printed, or was voice in the video that stated they would be available to fit the factory half doors only, but were shown on aftermarket doors. So who knows.....

Bestop told me:

" If they make the upper door sliders they will likely be released in 3-6 months."

So June/July timeframe I guess...
