Velox Gull Wing doors installed in MIC hard top

[Mikerider]

Been a bit of a process to get here but I finally have both of my gull wing doors installed in my 4 door to replace the rear hard top glass.

Step one was to remove the glass from the hard top. I wanted to keep my glass intact and not mess up the MIC top trying to cut the seal with a knife so I reached out to a local glass shop to see if they would take car of it. Took the shop about 30 minutes and cost $200 but worth not breaking a window to me.

Home in the garage windowless

Also did my buddies 2 door at the same time

Taped up the top to prevent scratches

two door install

The doors install with an EPDM rubber gasket that's adhesive and has an inner and outer frame that bolt together to sandwich the seal. Its a strong fit and seals well.

I left my passenger side open for cargo area access and have a molle panel and air compressor/first aid kit set up on the driver side.

Solid product that adds a lot of utility to the bronco for me. Its so nice having my air set up ready to go, just pop the door, flip the switch connect tire.

Can you remove the gull wings on the 4dr and still have the frame attached to the hardtop?

Negative the door hinges do not allow the door to be removed from the frame.

Well damn. They really missed a golden opportunity on that one!!

How has this been for you. Really considering this for my 2 door to increase usable space. Any rattles or complaints?

I read "gullwing doors" and my brain went to this.

Pretty cool. Wish someone made solid canvas soft top side window replacements.

Two latches seems like overkill for the size of these doors - but I like them.

But I think they are way overpriced. These are akin to RV cargo bay doors which are less than half that cost.

EDIT: I stand corrected on the number of latches. Just looked again and the smaller 4 door only has a single latch. The 2 door is a bigger door

That's cool - I like it! I wonder how well they seal around the edges to keep the elements/wind out, but outside that, well done!

 

[BroncoPls!]

Do they lock? I couldn't see it on the pictures.

solid so far! They have not been any different than having windows. No dust or water.

they revised the 4 door version for 2 latches and the work much better with 2 latches. Helps the fit up and with only one latch they bowed out at the edges a bit more then I liked.

Yes each latch has a lock on it.

seals have been solid, I live in the northwest and its wet constantly. No leaks or dust intrusion so far.
