I have the original doors, but:
    4 pcs of glass are cracked
    winders don't wind
    vent wings don't vent
    no locks (OEM feature from a gentler time)
    latches are not reliable
    push button latch release confuses young'uns
    bottoms are rusted
    weatherstripping is 61 years old
Other than that, they are in excellent shape :lol:

If I had quality soft doors I would use them year-round.

Holy moly! I'd want to fab-fix those before ditching them for fabric. You could even fab in the mechanism from a YJ or something so you had a key lock. The glass is replaceable, just have to get the old cracked sheets out to have them made.
