Half doors

[BruceBowker]

My wife just returned from England with a pair of half doors. Any tips or suggestion on installing them? Seems straight forward.

 

Thanks

Bruce,

I made mine but here are a few bad photos to see how I mounted mine.

ours just snap on to the original door snaps.. i should probably add one more snap on the front though.

Extra front snap sounds like a good idea.

 

Thanks

When you guys use half doors how do you get in the se7en? Do you unsnap it and let it drop down or do you step over it? Russ

Mine won't be installed until summer. I am wondering the same thing. Guess I'll find out then. I am assuming I will need to unsnap the top few and let it fold down. Or I may be able to "jump" over it. I don't like the idea of using snaps too often though. Seems they break a lot.

 

I really do not like driving with the full doors at all

unsnap all but the front or rear snap and rotate the 1/2 door up, scissor or lambo style.

I just step over. The car is so low it's not a problem. If I had full cage then it would be much more difficult!

Same here - the car is so low that we just step over the half doors.

 

If you install the top or have installed the top the snaps should also fit the half doors. The rear snap on the half door can also be set-up to allow the roof tp be installed with the half doors.

Thanks guys. I'm a little short in the inseam so I guess it will be unsnap time. My se7en is different than almost all others in that the rear fender arches are flush with the interior. There is no step down to the fender for the door to seal against so I will have to put some sort of raised tab there for the snap to be mounted to. Russ

Great tips. Thanks
