Jeep Adds Factory Half Doors for Gladiator
Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) from Mopar is introducing new half doors for the 2021 Jeep Gladiator, the automaker announced.
“Open-air freedom is a hallmark of the Jeep brand,” said Jim Morrison, Vice President, Jeep Brand North America. “Following our introduction of new half doors for Jeep Wrangler earlier this year, we are now giving passionate Gladiator owners an opportunity to let even more of the outside in.”
With lower window ledges, new half doors provide improved visibility while maneuvering on- and off-road, the company said.
The new Jeep Gladiator Dual-Door Group includes both full and half doors and is available on all Jeep Gladiator models through the Mopar Custom Shop as part of an original new-vehicle purchase in the U.S. Aluminum doors are installed on the vehicle while matching body color, aluminum half doors will be packaged within the vehicle.
The new half doors are designed to work when equipped with any of the following features: power mirrors, blind-spot detection, passive and non-passive entry handles and power locks. A swap from full doors to half doors is accomplished using the existing hinge locations and the exact same wiring connections.
New upper-window assemblies create a weather-tight seal and feature zippered plastic windows for quick, easy removal. Two materials are offered for the assemblies: base-model vinyl that matches the production soft-top roof or premium acrylic that matches the premium soft-top roof.
Each upper-door frame section uses a tool-free, dual-guide post feature for easy installation and removal.
