My Jeep doors won’t come off, what do I do?
I’m trying to remove my Wrangler’s doors, now that warmer weather is here. But I got stuck and now I can’t even drive. Help! My Jeep doors won’t come off, what do I do?

Oh no! That sounds so annoying! To remove your Jeep’s doors, you will need to disconnect the wiring and straps and remove the door’s bolts.
Do you have the proper tools? You’ll need a T50 Torx and a ratchet. If you can lift 47 pounds alone, you can move the front doors by yourself. Otherwise, grab a buddy to help.
You’ll need to:
- Roll down the windows
- Remove the door check arm
- Unclip the wiring and disconnect the power cables
- Drop the hinge bolts
- Release the limit strap
- Lift off the door
If you’re stuck on the wiring, figure out if it’s a flip-up connector or a click-in connector. The front doors are usually flip-up. You may need to remove the footwell to access the cables.
When it’s time to remove the bolts, use the holster in the cargo area to store—it was specifically designed for this purpose. You should remove two bolts per door.
If you’re having trouble with the limit strap, try removing it while the door is still on its hinges. The door should be mostly closed to allow enough slack for easy removal. Slip the hoop from its hook and tuck it into the cargo pocket. Be very careful as the swinging door could damage your
