I'm so pissed, here I am in South Florida, it was 80 degrees today.. and not a single dealer within 100 miles of me (dozens) has a 2012 with half doors on their lot.
I had a TJ with halves... but I'd really want to see them side by side on the new ones to decide. I have to admit, power windows and locks seem pretty cool.

I guess I'm one of the few that HATES half doors. Those damn plastic windows get all hazy and scratched which reduces your vision, then you gotta' unzip the damn things just to go through a hamburger joint drive-thru, they are noisy, they leak, etc. I certainly won't be contending with you guys for any half-door models. I'd rather just take the doors off completely on nice days. At least then there isn't any fabric flopping around.

Can someone with a 2011+ please post photos of the interior panels of your half-doors? Did Jeep update that panel when they redid the interior, or do the halfs still use the old panel?

Just looked ay a left over 2011 rubi with half doors. They were the same panels as the 7-10. I have no pictures, but I even said something to my gf about how the panels dont match. Don't know about the 12's.

I gotta say, I'm disappointed that Jeep couldn't be bothered to change the half-door interior panels when they updated the interior.
I'm going to keep by build as-is and stick with the half-doors, but this further supports my theory that Jeep doesn't intend to support them after the model change-over in 2014.
