Found this online, interested in how the door tops are being stored, has anyone seen anything like this before? Are they on hinges or are they bolted to the door? any thoughts?

I think they are removed as normal and they have hooks to hang them over the lower section.

Don't know how long the glass would last. If it moves back it would break on the door handles.

I saw somewhere 2 things I was tempted to get:
- padded storage bags for the door tops
- ‘summer’ door tops that were a light weight frame and a zip up window so in case of a short shower you could put them up

Storage bags are great. Used these on S1.we fold a large towel over tops & then put in the bag.
Not seen the zip doors. You got link?

I haven’t, it was a link in my old laptop that died a couple year back. Sorry

I can’t find the storage bags either, they were like a padded canvas affair

nah thats to go on the door like a door card.

the things i saw were a bag to put your door tops in when they were removed, to prevent them getting damaged etc

One bump would mean the glass going. My series door tops fell off like that several times, i wouldnt call it a mod. And how many spare tires does that geezer need?

Guessing that where he is the more the merrier

I have seen that pic before, they are hinged and if you look at the top of the door top there is a hasp on them, presumably to enable them to be locked up and down.

Thinking it would work quite well in my land rover, the glass breaking was a concern for me too. Although they don't break on the doors the correct way up, so it shouldn't matter in theory. I like bag idea but its more of a faff, which is the thing I wanted to mitigate.

if locked down glass would be no more prone to breaking than when up

I like that the sliding windows are left open to let a breeze through
