The fit of the doors is off ,they only go halfway down on the stock doors so there's a bit of a Gap, but I've had mine for a couple of years and they work well,keep the cold out and I would recommend them they make a big difference

Take your time and be patient when you install them

Do not trailer with doors on unless no wind and doors secured with straps. Better yet cover on the whole rig. Best - dont trailer with doors on. Pulling out of dealer mine got ruined immediately. Tags on doors warn of such. Duh me... and dealer staff, it was brand new and I didn't know. I use doors 9 months of the year in iowa and open windshield to control dust. Wife likes the doors on.

I have the Honda doors. I like them. They don’t seal up perfect but they block most of the cold air.
They are finicky to install. Just take your time with the alignment.

Just put them on my machine. They don’t seal well but with that said I get more air cold from the reverse lever and 4wd lever than around the doors. I plan to block off the airflow around these levers. Definitely help in cold weather.

I started messing with that idea, making a pattern for the shift lever is a pita. Wonder if the knob comes off?

I just received my set of Over Armour doors today.We'll see how they work out.I'll try to get them on soon and give a report.

I am thinking about pulling the hood off and trying to make a rubber or plastic panel that seals off the back of the dash in front of the switches levers and steering shaft. I find in the summer I get a lot of hot air through these same holes.

I got the Over Armour doors on.Easy install but I did not care for the stick- on velcro strips so I melted small hole around those areas and zip-tied to the roll bar.They will un-zip and roll back for going open sided.To get in and out,you un-zip back to the top of the net,then open the stock door.They may seal a tad better than the Honda doors,still lots of open spots.I'm ok with them,should be fine down here in the South.

Shift knob pulls off like the P700 or p1k.
There a few posts around talking about it.
A little heat goes a long way to making them more pliable.
Like point a space heater at it for a bit - don’t use a blow torch that stuff will probably burn.

I wondered about these doors. They look like they seal better at the forward most point than the Honda doors do. That’s where most of the air with mine comes in.

I had ordered the Honda doors,but the free shipping went away because of the box size.Ron Ayers called and said the shipping would be $147.I'm happy with these so far.I need to wax the zippers.
