So.. after installing my camso tracks I decided to build some doors to keep the elements out. Got some inspiration/ideas on here. They are made of 1/2” plywood that I had on hand. Nothing fancy but they work. Came out better than expected actually. It’s a work in progress, rear windows are made of some plexiglass I had lying around. Front windows are just “clear” plastic for now. Used the latch from the oem doors, some piano hinges with black finish (T-strap hinges in pics are temporary) and 1/2” pipe insulation to fill the gap up top and around the bottom of the door. My daughter, who is sceptical of my diy projects for good reason sometimes, gave me a thumbs up so that’s good enough for me lol.

Very cool and innovative. If that plywood doesn't hold up due to moisture, etc. I bet 3/8" or 1/2" UHMW material would do the trick.
