Is there any reason to have door surrounds w/o a soft top? Maybe wind or dust minimization, look cool??

Old thread but now I'm close to topless with GenRight half doors with Bestop Bikini. Still wondering whether the surrounds will do me any good, functional or aesthetically?If you're running with no doors or half doors, no. If you have windows on, then they will add support to them.
as LONGJP2 said, I run just the uppers with the bikini top for support for the sides.
I don't have a soft top so will run half doors with bikini. I've had an order in with Bestop for upper doors for a month or two (that fit only the GR half doors), so if/when they arrive I'll add the surrounds. I might test fit them just so I know how when the time comes.Once I switch to tube doors for the summer the surrounds come off. Half doors with uppers they stay on, but so does my soft top.
I dunno how my Bestop bikini connects since it's still NIB, as is the header. The surround I have is unknown brand, bought second hand but supposedly never used. Guess I'll find out.I keep mine all the time. Half doors, full doors, no doors, because my bi-mini top hooks up to it.

I agree, the best top one I bought had both options. I like attaching it to the door surrounds because when it rains its not all over my seats if I have full doors on or my half door window inserts in. But that's only if I know its going to rainThe bikini and safari tops have means to use both the surround or the B pillar
My rampage top hooks to the upper portion of the surround as well. When I run half doors with the top in the safari configuration I remove the lower section of the surround. I’ve also modified the lower section so I can remove it without removing the top.I keep mine all the time. Half doors, full doors, no doors, because my bi-mini top hooks up to it.
What mirrors are you using with out doors?
The top will be much tighter using the surrounds. Plus, you can still mount grab handles if you want.My Bestop wraps around the roll bar above the doors not to the surrounds
