I recently ordered the Bestop element doors and the enclosure panels, originally had the doors ordered but they were on backorder until October so I found a set. They look great for half doors and quality is great and I only found two issues.
One being the rubber weather stripping that goes on the doors needs to be on the tube door instead on the enclosure panel like the instructions say. The instructions state to put the weather stripping along the edge of the enclosure panel below the tube door, it is fine on most of the door besides the bottom which sticks out between the body and the door when the door is closed. I may try to find some that is not as thick as the one that comes with the enclosure panels. The second issue I found was the door did not align correctly on the front doors on the bottom corner below the door latch. I adjusted the mounting bracket and door latch which helped some but it is still off also I didn't have the door stop screwed in so that wasn't causing it to be pushed away from the body. The doors look straight and don't look to be bent or bowed, I may try to remove the weather stripping to see if it is preventing the door from aligning.
I took some pictures but I will take some better ones this weekend when the sun is up instead of at 10:30pm in my garage. I haven't ordered mirrors yet, I have narrowed it down to the TJ style mirrors or the CMM mirrors, I looked at the JK style mirrors but I'm not to fond of the mounting cups on the inside of the door that you have to use for the JK style mirrors.
