Default New Half Door Upper Design?

What are these?
http://www.quadratec.com/products/11142_9135_07.htm
I have the factory 2010 half door and uppers. The window design on this new product is different from the factory 07-11 uppers. What's with the two pane design?

those look like the upper halves to the mopar half doors. not sure if the uppers and lowers are OEM spec. Best top makes a soft door (upper and lower) for much cheaper. And since its Besttop you know they are reliable. The besttop ones are a wire type frame door not the full thickness door like mopar. But I think the besttop would be better for not only keeping the rain out but also better for storage during those really nice days when no doors are wanted. Good luck

I have the bestop soft doors and use them all summer long.... like other posts have stated, they dont keep out all the water but are great for being able to have a set of doors tossed in the back of the jeep....

I thought I read somewhere that the bestop upper door will fit the factory half doors.. that they are actually the same thing...

the bestop upper door set is a lot less than the MOPAR one shown....

I have the 2010 factory half doors & uppers, and I've seen the 2011 & the 2007 uppers. We all have just the one big clear window without the vertical separation. This is something new!

...and as far as the Bestop products, if the Bestop half door uppers will fit the factory half doors, that would be good to know because they are not the same. The Bestop uppers are much less bulky & would be easier to store onboard, but I don't think they'll fit

Are these sliders or zip windows?

The pic looks like a stationary window in the "vent window" location with a smaller zip out window on the back half. Kind of like trying to copy the look of a roll up window.
