Topic: What soft top for wheeling in a YJ?

[Jeffy]

isn't there any adjustment on the aligning inserts inside the door? if not what Jeffy said. Is it plastic or fiberglass, if it's plastic you might be able to work it with a heat gun but can't guarantee the result.

Not usually.  You just drop the upper into the lower through the same holes the soft top uppers use.  No latch or anything.  The weight keeps it down.

then i would just give up the tub alignment for not having rain come in - my doors would not be lined up at the top if i had the door flush with the tub, the thing is that it takes very little to be off on the bottom to get the top to close properly. a little bit tighter on the locking pin can also help and the other thing I'm thinking is maybe is pressing too much into the windshield frame and that throws off the back of the upper (actually since they're not full doors this might be the case - JF, check how soon touches the frame when you slowly close the door, not sure if you catch my drift but i'm thinking the upper door could be too much towards the w/s frame in the direction of traven and not towards the center and that pushes the insert too far back).

I'll check, but I have not noticed this...

it doesn't take much to throw it off, basically the door to w/s frame should be a constant gap without pushing into the upper door frame. If the door is lined up with the tub then you'll need to release the frame a little from the rollbar and the brace on the bottom on that side.

Actually, today, when I dropped the Jeep off, I did notice that the front-most bolt was loose; and (for reasons unbeknownst to me!), this bolt actually pushes the REAR of the door IN.  I asked them to tighten it up for me while they are doing everything else, so we will see if this does the trick...

Interesting.  I'll have to check if this could be what makes the bottom rear part of my door not flush with the tub.  It seems a bent hinge plate could have the same effect.
