91 Hardtop Problem, Door Halves don't fit

I bought what I think is a factory hardtop for my 1991 Jeep but I am having problems getting the upper doors to fit. I bought what I thought was the correct Bestop Door, 51786-15. They don't fit, as they are about 3" too long and don't fit the profile of the top as towards the bottom, it bows out too much, see pic.



Does Bestop make a upper half that fits, or is this top just junk. Please, any help would be great as I am just stumped right now.

im pretty sure you have to bend them inwards to get them to seal right but that is what my hard top looks like in that area

those uppers are for the supertop, not for a hard top. they LOOK like they're work, but as you've already found out they're not the same. as far as i know the only half door upper that will work with a hard top is 41485
