Vertical door conversions

I dunno if anyone is intressted, I seem to remember a couple of threads asking about this. None-the-less I came across this site that has Universal vertical door conversions. I dunno the price or reliablity ( I skimmed through the site quick) seems like a great idea though.

Those things are nothing but problems, Ive had many friends do them on their cars and had nothing but problems. First of all, you REALLY have to know what you are doing. They are not simple bolt on and go kinda items. For one, unless you know what you are doing, the doors will not line up correctly thus leading to LEAKING. Plus when they took their cars up for inspection, they had to change them back because they arent legal (at least in va, but i would imagine theyd be the same in other states). Plus they were MADE for eclipses, and if those are UNIVERSAL, the problems would only be worse. Just my two cents.

Oh I totally agree. I only posted cause I remember a couple of threads asking about them. These ones claim to be 100% universal with no problem. They says its a simple weld and bolt, but I dunno I doubt it personnally.

I am just telling you from what I have heard from people on other boards and from my friends, maybe they didnt install them correctly i dunno. But its really a lot more work than you think it would be. Plus another thing I heard was that sometimes if you didnt install it right the door would only go up halfway up and she literally had to crawl in and out. I personally wouldnt recommend them unless you have a professional whos done stuff like that before.
