HArd Top = Full Doors???
I'm still looking to grab a Hardtop for my 2004 TJ offa eBay.
Ok, OK, so I'm a cheap SOB & looking for the deal of a lifetime.
Actually I'm trying to find the deal of a lifetime in my area (Tampa)
Now to the question - Someone has a hardtop listed & is saying
that it "Requires your Jeep to be equiped with the full hard doors."
I've never been aware of this fact before so I wrote & asked him
about it & his response was -
"Most sellers don't tell you that the hard top needs the hard doors
with roll up windows to close with a complete fit. If you have the half
doors with plastic, zipper windows the doors when closed will leave
a big openning over the top of the window. The only way to correct
this is to buy the full doors or adapter moldings to insure a fit when
closing your doors."
Now this is a new wrinkle into my search for the best deal & I'm not
looking to do full doors but can anyone enlighten me on these
"adapter moldings" he mentioned?
TIA - Jersey

Re: HArd Top = Full Doors???
I'm not sure that's true. Of course, I don't have a hardtop, but assuming
it were true, it would seem that hard doors would then come in 2
varieties... 1 type for use with a softop and 1 for use with a hardtop.

Re: HArd Top = Full Doors???
Just to clarify... I would agree if you were buying a softtop for a Jeep
that only came with a hardtop as you'd need the plastic window surrounds
that are present on the softtop models. However, I think those window
surrounds basically match up to the form of the hardtop so putting a hardtop
on would negate the need for the surrounds.
Maybe I'm missing something.
