Reviews for Bestop 2-Piece Fabric Doors for 18-25 Jeep Wrangler JL 2-Door & Gladiator JT
The doors seemed to work wish they fit a little better
I have a love/hate relationship with these. I love the freedom they give you. If it starts to rain I can just throw these on which is so much easier then the hard doors. They took a lot of tweaking to get them to work when I first installed them and the tops of the doors still blow out 3-4 inches when the wind is really blowing hard. I get nervous they tops of the doors will blow off. They recommend getting the Bestop mirrors (51261-01). These did not work at all. It took over an hour to drill out holes in the fabric and metal underneath. Once they were mounted to the holes in the metal they stuck out at the top and looked terrible. I took them off and built my own with a 5/8ths inch rod and some convex mirrors. Would recommend the doors but know they will take some tweaking and getting use too.
These doors look good on my JT and probably serve the purpose of keeping the rain out (haven't verified that yet). Although I have spent a significant amount of time adjusting these doors they don't fit / seal properly on the Gladiator. The top of the door also "catches" the wind and flexes out if there is a gust or speeds >55.
I like that I can keep these in the back of the Jeep under the bed cover in case I get caught out in bad weather. Not sure I would buy again though.
I tried so hard to love these doors. If your speed is above 45 MPH these are not the doors for you. They don’t even come close to making a seal with the body of the jeep, and they continually feel like they are going to shake off the jeep.
The Velcro isn’t quite big enough to hold the panels together either. So I’m a constantly trying to pull them back together.
Love the idea of these, but it just is not worth the money.
Disappointed for the price I paid. You can see daylight through the large gap in the front bottom corners, had to assemble the latches and every pic on the websites show mirrors on the front doors (mirrors aren’t included). Only positive thing is they are easy to put on and take off
The doors go onto the Jeep. Fit and finish leaves a lot to be desired.
These doors are a terrible fit, you can see daylight through many parts of the door. The rain comes in when it is parked, and when you hit 60 MPH the doors flap something terrible. The fabric is attached to the doors with Velcro and in many spots, the Velcro doesn't actually latch because there is not enough material.
The latch mechanism on the doors is terrible and after only five months of use, the keys don't work well anymore. They also print the lock number on the door itself which is a major security risk since someone can have a key made and get access to your Jeep.
The only positive thing about these doors would be that they can easily fit in the back of the Jeep. I expected much more from a Bestop product, but the poor craftsmanship will make me think twice before buying anything they make again.
I have tried to reach out to Bestop about this issue but they took down their online contact and the wait times on the phone are ridiculous so I was never actually able to reach a representative from Bestop.
I would not recommend these doors unless you don't mind getting your Jeep wet, having the doors flap in the breeze every time you go over 55, and
Bestop should stop production and redesign these doors. They are horriable. Everything
Garth M. said goes for me too, same problems. I contacted Bestop and told them how bad the doors are but it did no good except they offered me a refund. My top half will pull out at hwy speeds so I have a zip tie to grab ahold of to hold them in.
The doors do not fit very well with the minimum adjustments you can perform with gaps for rain and wind to come in. Do not buy!
I installed these the other day to say the least the door are ill fitting. There are gaps that you can see light at the bottom of the doors as it closed on the vehicle. The adjustments that you can do to make the door fit are limited and no matter what adjustment is made another part of the door does not line up or barely lines up. As far as a weather seal it rained last night when my Gladiator was parked in which it rained for about 10 minutes leading to the front driver and passenger floors having puddles. I have had Bestop soft doors on my old YJ and never had this bad of an issue. I would hope Bestop would deliver better quality on a product costing as much as it does.
