Half doors are wonderful ONLY because I can be anywhere and have everything with me to button it all up. The looks are pretty great too and they are solid built. I agree they're more like 3/4 doors, but they line up level to the tub. Adding factory half doors to my Willys was the last thing I really "had to have", and after using them for a while I can now say I will never put the full doors back on.
YES, YOU CAN CARRY IT ALL BEHIND THE REAR SEAT IN A TWO DOOR.
1. Place one side window and one door upper against the rear seat, drop the roof (the rear of the roof will push the window and upper against the seat).
2. Place the other side window and upper in next (they will happily fit in between the folds of the roof where they stick up a bit).
3. Remove back window from window bar and roll it up left to right, return window bar to where it lives above the tailgate. There's still enough room to place the rolled up window in the cargo area.
4. Run straps around the folded top and under the window bar to cinch it all down if desired. The top still clicks into lock position like normal, I have always cinched it down because it never truly locked down like I wanted.
It takes some trial and error to make it all fit right, but hey what else is new in the 2-door world. I intend to do a formal how-to on this with pics when I have some time. Yes, the panels probably rub together, but I haven't noticed any new scratches from transporting (every soft window I've ever had eventually turned cloudy and degraded over time).
I will say, if I weren't able to squeeze all that shit behind the rear seat I would really hate these new soft tops. They're super easy to operate, but I'd never want to travel long distance without the windows on board.
Thanks!
