P700 Putting doors on my P700 thoughts.

[SWB]

I swore last fall after deer season that I was going to install doors on my P700. Having second thoughts now. The fabric kind. I believe they are around $500. Can not make up my mind on it. Any thoughts on install or any thoughts period on them?

That’s a tough one. I’m on the fence myself. I guess they are better than nothing at all but they don’t look like they seal very well.

Ive had em since i bought mine (2015). For what they are, they are worth the money in my eyes. We ride all winter here in NH and i use the pioneer to plow snow having the doors really makes it tolerable. Most of the time we don't need to turn the heater on.

Im here in Arkansas. Its not really about cold. Its all mud clods slinging when I ride muddy roads when Im hunting.

I'm in the same boat. I want to do doors, but just do not know enough. I hate the zippers. I am ok with zippered windows, but not to open and close the door. These tend not to last long in the cold U.P. winters. Anyone have suggestions on doors that work without zippers?

its worth the buy. i have the 700-4 with complete soft enclosure. they are very easy to remove for summer time and they block alot of wind and mud. last good ride i went on during winter running dogs. 20 degrees outside. anything under 20 i was comfortable in just a long sleeve shirt almost.

I'm still thinking about it. But, is probably going be one of those last minute things in August or September.

the front is easy to take off just a allen head bolt on the top of the plastic doorand 2 velcro plastic channels where the pipe sits in . i took front and back doors off or on in about 15 mins alone. rear doors are a little harder but they arent bolted they are basically just strapped to roll barwith a hinge inside .

i would like to have them in the Winter as well. I have saved a thread somewhere in my favorites where someone made a set that looked nicer than OEM and less $$$.

Thinking that I might end up buying a snow blade this Fall and build the doors after the mowing season is over.

If you aren't into that, I think you can find threads here where others found some insulation strips that filled in the gaps and looked good as well. Just have to poke around some to find it. No doubt it will pop up later in the year.

in the stock ones they fill the gaps with a thin plastic strips that are bolted to the window frames does pretty good on mine and still lasting. or you could look into the sealing rubber on a jeep door. look for cj style that would probably be the cheapest and the thickest

Does any one have pics of the doors open if they hinge or got to unzip the top half to get out

 

[Alan_Vander]

The front and back windows open with the door. There us a strap that hooks to the latch inside that stick out and you pull to open from outside

Does the back doors work the same?

 

[Alan_Vander]

I have the honda ones. But iv seen there are cheaper ones out there. The honda has been nice but they dont like the sun. The plastic where mine rolls down got brittle and the button part cracked. But could easily lasted longer than 6 yrs with a little convertible top maintenance stuff

Yeah the back work the same takes about 5 minutes to take off about 10 minutes to put all 4 back on.
