Default Highrock Element doors

Has anybody got the Highrock Element doors with the uppers? I'm thinking about these and wanted to know what ya'll thought. Thanks~

I've got them. The good is that the uppers lay flat and fit easily in the back of my unlimited. They are not perfectly watertight, but are mostly water resistant and keep the seats dry when parked. The bads are the handles and some fit problems.

I tried to get some replacement parts right after getting them and was told they were on hold until December, so I wouldn't plan on seeing them any time soon. There are only two of us I know of on the boards who have gotten the elements, enclosures, and uppers and we both had some similar problems with general fit problems.



There are some more pics in my profile of the elements before paint and without the enclosures.

I saw another thread about these sometime in the past few weeks. I want them! I have the full soft doors, but think the hard bottoms will hold the uppers more securely and help reduce wind noise.

I like the elements and the enclosure, but I was hoping they would use a factory style hard plastic upper instead of the 2-piece soft door upper. I wouldn't want to put velcro tape on a painted enclosure.

I like the enclosure just not sure if I like the different door handle locations between front and back.

I agree. Not a good look when the door sills line up and then there's 2-3 inches difference in the door handles.

But I'm sure it was done for ease in manufacturing and to keep our costs down. Probably wouldn't be as noticable on black or another dark color.

Here they are when the doors were black...



I guess the handles don't bother me that much. I still haven't put the velcro back on, though... I probably won't until next spring, but we'll see how it looks when I do.

I have a set of the these half doors and I will say they are AWSOME!!!


Mine raddle a little when I drive, but they are an overall must for open air fun.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay to have your doors painted red. I would like to paint mine but haven't had time to get an estimate.


Also, where did you get your uppers??
