First scratch

[Big Green]

Putting the doors on in the dark led to a little mishap. Got quoted $1100 for a fix.

Yeah lmao. I can’t even remember what I said when I noticed what I did. A whole lot of expletives were thrown around.

It seems we get a weekly thread about people damaging doors after removal. This further solidifies the fact that I will never remove my doors.

Looks like an opportunity for aftermarket door protection inserts. Did I just give away a million dollar idea? Or do they exist already?

I probably should have used a pool noodle

Don’t be discouraged by my stupidity. It’s actually easy to do if you take the proper precautions…and have good lighting.

I bought this stuff and made my own protectors from Amazon. Super cheap

i just cut one piece and put it on the door I’m going to install or on the door already on. Help prevent further mishaps for you.

Not only can something like this occur when removing or installing the doors, but when the doors are off ,you have to make sure you are wearing pants when driving. No thanks.

Nah, shorts are ok. I've seen it done.

Might I suggest refraining from using pry bars to remove your doors?

Yeah. Maybe that is a good idea.

It's a very nice feature that the doors come off. But a door is a door and it is pretty heavy and has to be delicately removed, stored, then delicately placed on two hinges to re-install. Seems like there is potential for damage in any of those steps- even of you are careful. I don't plan on taking my doors off. I liked the removeable top half of the doors (windows) on my 97 TJ I sold to get the Bronco. The half doors were perfect in great weather. And the top half was easy to remove and store.

Yeah. Maybe that is a good idea.

I'm sorry that that happened. Fix seems steep, price wise, I would check around.
