Canvas doors?

[LaneRover]

I think those wire mesh doors are about the coolest Mod I have seen on a Series Rover. Does anyone know anything about who owns that Rover, or how they made them (or where you can purchase them?)

Actually even if you don't weld you could just take off the aluminum skins, drill holes in the frames and bolt the mesh on with some bolts with large washers on them.

Exmoor Trim of the UK just came out with something similar based on regular doortops.

Our host are Exmoor distributors. I'll have to contact them regarding this. I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of Rocky Mountain Door Tops, but I'd go canvas if I could.

EDIT: Just saw the door tops on the Exmoor site under New Products. They are just regular steel/alum. frames with a zip-out window fitted. I was hoping that they were more of a lightweight frame with a canvas covering. I'll just go with the RM door tops.

why do you want canvas doors?

Those screen doors keep reminding me of this image for some reason. Does that mean something?

Badger makes soft door tops.

I have been looking for bad skin doors in order to use the frames since I first saw them.

Problem is, you usually have the frames rot before the skin....

Badger makes soft door tops.

I contacted them for additional info. I'll let you know what I find out. My last restoration used a Badger soft top, so I'm expecting excellent quality and a corresponding price. I would love a set in tan canvas to match my desert tan paint job. We'll see what happens.

I'm still not clear on why you'd want canvass door tops or whole doors. With the doors, is the possibility of quick release to go doorless?

FWIW, my experience with soft door tops on a jeep is that they always leak air, water, and the zip out windows always tear up at the zipper. And yes, I mean much more leakage than is normal with original equipment rover door tops and doors!
