As soon as I find and purchase the parts for these door there will be a rebuild video series on them. I'm happy to have them for winter time. Before it gets to cold I need to get a back window for my hard top that I purchased a few months ago! Thanks for dropping in!! Have a great day!!

It didn't help my specific problem on a 2001 TJ, but it did get me in the general area where I could find my lock rod was bent....thanks for the guidance...Van Buren, AR

A big help, I completely forgot the latch access panel behind the trim panel.

Good info

I had to brake clean that mechanism completely spray it it and re 3in1 oil it. Works like a champ now.

Fantastic video. I actually did pull the rods out but wow loosening up the tabs to the rod one tab broke. Where can I find a replacement? Or can I just fabricate something? In your video you mentioned to be very careful but I guess I wasn’t.

Can you do a video replacing the wing window?

I'm eventually going to rebuild those doors and sell them. I'll do that video then. When will that be? I have no idea at the moment.

This has hard rods. My 92 has more like a cable. Are they interchangeable?

The half door handles are pretty similar but everything is easier to get to. The CJ/YJ full doors are sweet though! I love the little vent windows in the front. How did the door line up with the windshield angle? My soft uppers line up perfectly but in order to get my hard uppers to fit properly I have to wedge a wood chip under them to angle them up a bit. Just wondering if factory soft top YJs had a slightly different windshield angle, or was it just my doors out of alignment?

Im really gonna enjoy rebuilding these doors. I'm like you .. the little vent windows are awesome! Love 'em!! Ironically after adjusting the door hinges and adjusting the striker bolt, everything lined up great! The windshield angle fits nice and tight as well. Not actually getting to look at your uppers, just basing this off your comment, here is what I would try. First look at the door gap around your half doors where the doors align with the tub. If the gap is even all the way around .. door alignment is good. If there are places where the gap is uneven, adjust the door until the gap is even all the way around. Then ... make the windshield angle match the hard uppers, then flex the steel rod soft uppers to match the angle of the windshield. Soft uppers are forgiving by bending or flexing the frame to fit as needed. Of course, this is as long as the adjustments aren't extreme enough to make the skins no longer fit the frame correctly. I have 2 sets of half doors, my full steel doors and then the full soft cloth doors. It would make a great video showing what I just described to you. So .. I'll put that on the "to do" list. I dont have soft uppers for the half doors but I can demonstrate on my full soft doors because they split in two. Always good to see ya dropping in!! Have a great day!

93 YJ full doors looking at where the two bars attach (see pic) it does not appear that these allow you to disengage the metal bars to work on reattaching a new indoor handle ? Hmm Can’t attach a pic

You implied that the clips holding the rods are hard to come by, do you know any place that sells them?

I have a big issue with my doors. The metal rob that connects the interior handle and the system always falls out making me have to roll the window down and open it from the outside.

There should be a metal clip that locks that rod in place. I havent personally checked but Ive been told the clips can be purchased at an autoparts store int he "Help" section. When I confirm them I'll post the part number and hopefully a link to purchase some in the detail below the video or pinned to the top comment section. I'll tag another reply to you when I find out. Hope it helps!! Have a great day!

You think the procedure is the same for half doors, I'm missing a latch on my drivers side half door, the outside latch works Good just missing the inside latch, trying to find one somewhere

Jeep is usually pretty good on using the same parts for different models I'm pretty sure your half door latch is the same as a full door . Just the rods and latch location will be slightly different do to the door shape :)
