I do have to ask though, why not just save the money and swap the mirror from your full doors to half doors?
i plan on doing a lot of door swapping this summer, just pop them on quick when its nice out. didnt want to have to constantly swap mirros too. will post some photos this weekend!!!

Factory half doors are the way to go.

But now you have the best of both worlds, half doors for spring and summer full doors for the colder months.

I LOVE my half doors

It would see half a door should be half the price, but why are they so damn expensive. I guess tube doors it is for me.

The MOPAR install instructions shows the complete contents of the kit (no mirror screws). It looks like they assume you're going to be transferring your mirrors from your full doors to your half doors so you'd re-use your existing screws and mirrors.

Seems kind of dumb because who'd want to have to keep swapping mirrors back and forth? Why not just make two kits, one with mirrors and one without?

You can pick some up at Lowes. They are $4.29 for 12 of them. If that is too expensive, go to your local Post Office and you can get a Mover's Coupon in the change of address packet.... dropping the price to $3.86. If that is still too much, PM your paypal and I will send you the $3.86.
