Reviews for Gauge Works 900 000 Replacement Door Panel Pair for 87-95 Jeep Wrangler YJ 1/2 Steel Doors
These panels look great and install easily. The only reason they are not 4-stars is that the plastic pegs do not hold the edges in place at all. Granted I even rolled Monstaliner over the doors to include the peg holes (shrinking the diameter) and they still popped. Your door handle screws hold the panel in place so it's not that big of an issue but definitely one I'll have to address soon. I still recommend it but I wish the company would include a better anchoring system.
These are nice. They look good. Two issues. The pegs do not fit tightly in the holes in the metal part of the door. The panel does not fit tightly. Once you put the two screws in the handle back in it's a little better but it's still not tight. I'm looking for some slightly larger pegs or a different anchor and screw fastening system. I have decided that I don't like the built in pocket. My left leg bumps into it. Don't think I like that. It's ok but not optimum. My wife is fine with it on the passenger side. The holes for the door handle did not line up perfectly so I drilled them out to 1/4 inch. The screws then went in just fine.
Great for the price...had to enlarge the top holes for the window poles, but other then that happy with product.
Decent replacement for 95 Jeep Wrangler. Door pins don't line up that great though.
Installation was easy. Took longer to get out my tools and put them away than it did to do the job. The only problem that I had was when trying to install the new door pulls. Only one of the four holes in the panel was slightly out of alignment and I easily corrected than using my pocket knife to slightly enlarge the hole for better alignment. The catalog and the online description and customer service did not make it clear that the panel fasteners were included with the panels and I ordered some which I did not need. Will be returning those. Overall, I'd give these panels a high mark (4.5) for appearance and ease of fitment. Durability is still to be determined.
Looks great, went in easy. Plastic is a little thin but I think it will work just fine.
Overall, I am fairly pleased with these panels. The OEM half doors that I found on eBay came with original panels that were in bad shape. It appeared as if the previous owner spray painted them, however they only used one can and their DIY project ran short. Needless to say it wasn't the form of art I was looking for on the inside of my doors.
I will admit I was fairly skeptical of these as there were few reviews on them and they were only $115. However, considering I didn't find any options other than $500 OEM panels online I took the plunge.
They did seem thin upon unpackaging and handling then, however I reminded myself that polymers and plastics have advanced since 95, so I remained calm... Some people were concerned about the arm rest and it not being stable, but that was not the case. The door is solid. Sure, it sounds slightly holly when you knock on it but that is expected, it is not as if it is a soundbar that you need to pack with poly fill, it s a door...
As far as appearance they look great! Took about 30-45 minutes to put on, mainly because I was taking my time.
The only drawback is that the outermost edge at the top, after installation was observed to be slightly 'curled up' creating an 'edge' (This is why I made it 4 out of 5).
I will post pictures of the panels,. My recommendation = worth the money, buy!
These are nice but the fastener rivets are too small for my yj doors they will pop right out.
These look nice but they are overpriced.
Mine came with no packing material so they were banging around together in shipping. Plus one was slightly warped due to laying on a dock somewhere under other boxes.
You get no hardware other than plastic push pins. No door pulls, no bolts, etc. For this reason, the back, top edge flops around away from the door. So you’ll need to use Velcro or something to hold it together.
As I said, they look good but that’s the only reason they get a 3 star review from me.
Look nice but very VERY thin. I cracked the top putting in the new pins with very little pressure. Pins do not hold the panel to the door. Pretty loose. With have to makeshift something to make it work. Does look nice though!
