Reviews for Bestop 51798-35 2-Piece Front Doors in Black Diamond for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
These doors do exactly what they are supposed to do. They keep the seats and dash dry. You will be disappointed if you want to keep your carpet in and keep it dry.
I bought these, tore the carpet out and lined the entire tub. Pulled the drain plugs and never looked back! They are awesome. I run them all summer, put the hard doors back on in winter. Pop them off and throw them in the back in seconds. Combine that with the NX soft top and the jeep is stripped or dressed up in minutes wherever you are.
4 stars only because they are a pain to fit. You have to fiddle for awhile. Word of advice, don't cut the rubber till you have these fitted right and you learn where they leak! Point the excess rubber out of the jeep, stuff it under the velcro. Most of the water runs in there.
These doors do not create a seal that will prevent leaking. Rain will get in. With that said, soft doors are the greatest thing to own in summer. Can go doors off in 1 minute and throw the doors in trunk just in case it rains. Great buy but expect water to get in.
These function as expected, however I did own an 86 Wrangler with a soft top years ago. These will leak in the rain, and they do flap at higher speeds. But, the convenience of pulling these off is far worth it. I would suggest you remove the drain plugs in both floor boards.
I like these doors a lot. They are not water tight though.
I love the convience of being able to take the doors off and throw them in the back and not have to worry about damaging them but still have doors for bad weather. Good piece of mind when you commute an hr to work but like riding doorless too!
These doors were pretty simple to put on. The one door went on perfect and the other I had to mess with the adjuster and also bend the top part of the door in to cover up the gap between jeep and the door. However The are great awesome doors, very light, and works great.
will need to adjust for decent fit, it was what I expected
Hard to assemble (time consuming). Over time it didn't shut properly. Had it for 3 years. May try a different brand next time.
These doors look great but they do not function well. Very poor fitment and getting them adjusted just so they latch took hours. They are poorly designed and do not fit the jku well. They are great to throw on but every time I remove them and put them back on I must adjust them again. The flap in the wind at high speeds and there is gaps at the bottom. So in the rain you will get wet. They are fun to just throw on and go door less when you want. I expected more from bestop and I have to say I was disappointed in these.
I bought these doors for my 2015 two door sport and unfortunately had to return them.
I read the reviews and saw that people had issues with them leaking but thought it couldn’t be THAT bad so I gave them a shot. Once I put them on my Jeep I realized there were some pretty sizable gaps on the the tops and bottoms so I called customer service and they told me to “just bend them.”
I got them to fit a little better by adjusting them and just waited for rain to see how they’d hold up. WOW. These doors basically create a funnel that just lets rain pour inside and soaks the instrument cluster, the corner speaker, and the floor. I had to pull the plugs a couple different times just to let the floor mats dry out.
The reason for the 2 stars is that these doors are pretty nice and as long as you DONT USE THEM IN THE RAIN, you won’t be disappointed. But for people looking to use these as a summer replacement for factory hard doors... look elsewhere. You’ll end up returning these after taking a bath in your Jeep.
