I recently purchased a set of steel half doors. The fabric uppers have the squared off window opening. I have the Bestop full soft top with the rounded window openings. Does anyone know if the rounded window uppers are available to fit ? I couldn’t get much help from Bestop. Only thing they would tell me is they didn’t have a listing for uppers fir a 1984 CJ8
Thanks

Yep, part number should be 51780. I have a supertop on one of my CJ7's, and recently got some YJ doors, and had to order the 51780-37 (the last two digits signify the color).

Got mine for $287 on ebay. I think Bestop has "minimum advertised price" on their products so the seller sold these as "open box" to get around that.

Bestop is the original soft top supplier to Jeep, so you can be assured that this Upper Fabric Half-Door Set will fit your steel half doors perfectly, to create a weather-tight cabin. Bestop Half Door --.

I searched locally to find used YJ uppers for the hard top for years. Finally found a set of Steelhorse uppers with the glass sliders. Love them. Before that I had TJ uppers that I had to modify the rear pin FD6D1C68-915F-4E67-BAEF-7F34FF846FA9.jpeg
 
The squared off corners actually work pretty well with the Bestop Supertop by overlapping the top in the corner. The rounded corner uppers would be essential though if you're running the hardtop.
 
I gave up on the hard top. I got the soft topper from Bestop. It works great with the full metal doors. But I like my metal half doors better. Thanks for the direction
 
I think you can modify TJ uppers to fit (requires cutting the rear post and relocating it to fit the YJ door holes).

Any '97 - '06 TJ/LJ Wrangler upper skin should fit.

TJ Door Uppers, YJ Half Doors, CJ Half Hard Top

Recently I wanted to get some YJ soft uppers for my Half Doors with the round upper corner. Well that was easy enough to find but they do not have the little round-ish part at the bottom back to fit the top... Then I pulled in next to a TJ at work the other day and there it was... They have the...
