Years ago i read a magazine where somebody made folding canvas door tops. Has anybody tried these or know of something similar? I have a Series 3 GS and my door tops are rotten. Rocky Mountain door tops look good but i like the idea of easy removal. Thanks.

They look like a good idea though not the one i was thinking of. The door tops in the magazine would fold/roll up for easy storage.

A mention of them here D90 Canvas Door tops - Defender Source (https://www.defendersource.com/forum/f6/d90-canvas-door-tops-37025.html)

Sounds like they were a very temporary solution.

I've also seen padded bags to hold doortops so you can remove and store them.

Thanks gromit,
The Badger door tops were the design i was thinking of. Both my door tops are rotten so i will look in to it. Has any body used the Rocky Mountain ones ?

Thanks going bush,
That's what i get for buying a 'modern' one. A bit off topic but i noticed the red one off to the left. Flash bit of gear.
