Hey guys, a newbie here. I was close to ordering/buying a new Rubicon when I find out that there are no aftermarket upper doors with glass/plastic sliding windows. They are available for non-JK wranglers, but not the JKs. I really want half doors but with the flexibility of a sliding window. I hope this is not going to be a deal breaker for me! Questions: Does anyone make upper doors with sliders? I suppose if they are not made yet, they never will be. What is the solution if I want half doors but also want uppers for cold weather/security?
They should be out soon and they're a sponsor here. He plans to be working on solid/plastic uppers (toward the end of summer) which will have sliding windows in them.

A set of OEM full doors is harder to find than a set of halfs, now that the kits are readily available.
Best bet is to buy the jeep with full doors and also negotiate for a (discounted) half door kit from the dealer.
The kits are easy to assemble. You need to have the lock cylinders keyed to the rig and color match painted.
There are several threads on half door kits. You can also put in a power latch for the locks if the jeep has power-option doors. The power connector block is different but comes in the kit.
You might also want to negotiate for a third key.
I use my half-doors when the soft top is on and put the fulls back with the hard top. Perfect for New England weather.

Strike Force Zebra is working on 1/2 doors, which are looking pretty nice. Saw the prototype in person.
