Cool! How secure are the panels if this crossbar is not used? I feel like I’ve seen other 2 doors running just the front panels without any mods and don’t remember hearing anything about them needing additional support
I run mine like this quite often. Freeway speeds with no issues. The crossbar is definitely not necessary, but does add "peace of mind".

I could see that working well considering those rubber bumpers will help hold it in place. I don’t have a short piece on hand, so please report back if you try it out!
Dave,

I finally got around to trying just a short piece of 1" square tube to "tie" the two tops together.

The 1" was a little small for the gap. So, punched some disks out of a black tennis ball and attached them to the bar. It actually worked out really well, with the piece in place the tops feel really solid. Thanks for posting your idea!

apparently I missed where you finished the cover and the soft rear window. Could you post some more of the information on them, PLEASE?
