It can be stiffened up quite easily I'd think. But either way the glass will be the heavy bit I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 No door tops would solve that for an off-road biased vehicle. I’ve got loads of doors Ross but no scales, sorry! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 @elbekko is right I think the majority of the weight is in the glass. I've got a set of 110 doors that are stripped down and awaiting repair and they're damn light compared to the ones on the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Yeah, window glass and the mechanisms add up. I think @discomikey said a Defender Challenge car door is about the same as a series and that's had the glass replaced and the mechanism removed.

They can be made lighter and stiffer than original easily IF you can afford it. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
