|
|
How does everyone store their doors when not on the car? I got some hooks to hang on garage wall but now I am thinking that's not the best option. I was toying with the idea of building a wood rack with carpeted slots for the doors and maybe an extra slot for the side curtains. Any thoughts or pics would be appreciated. I'm sure I am not the first to do this so I would like to see how others have done it. Thanks. |

I have had thoughts on this issue, but nothing I've acted on. I thought a good storage space would be the unused space between the open garage door and the ceiling. A carpeted shelf there would be one solution.
Another idea would be a rack on casters in which the doors would sit vertically, which could be wheeled around the car while the doors are being removed or installed. |

I’m planning on converting a door storage cart made for a Jeep. I will likely need to change the position of the pin brackets and add pins.
For pins I found stock on Amazon.

I purchased the cart on eBay.

I’ll post pics when completed. |

I put together a rack of sorts with PVC pipe, fittings and some pool noodles.
Everything is friction fit so that it can be broken down and used at events. _________________ Walküre Restoration Thread: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=737492 |
