This sticker, found above the windshield on our Four Season Wrangler Unlimited reads, in warning yellow: "The top and doors on this vehicle are designed only for protection against the elements. Do not rely on the top and doors to contain occupants within the vehicle or to protect against injury during an accident. Wear seatbelts at all times."

Riiiiighhht. So how is that supposed to be taken? The doors are for decoration only? They offer all the protection of an umbrella? If that doesn't make you think twice before engaging in any sort of hooligan activity while driving a Wrangler, I don't know what will.

1. ITS A JEEP! The fact that the doors and top come off and the the front wind screen can fold is what makes the vehicle so desirable to those who buy it. We all know the real reason for this label--a reminder of our latigious homeland.

2. Exactly what theBrucer said. My buddy has a Wrangler, and the tops (both plastic and cloth) are worthless in terms of structural strength. The doors, however, should offer SOME crash protection; they are solid metal afterall.

So basically, if you're driving a Wrangler, don't have a horrible accident because you'll probably find yourself flying through the Pearly Gates on fire.

3. As car warnings go that is pretty tame.

Kudos to Jeep for covering their asses from their over eager customers Lawyers.

Most Jeeps have rollbars on them stock these days,but you gotta wear the seat belts or you could easily be UNDER the Jeep if it ever rolls over.

SQUISH.

4. Yeah it's not too ridiculous, Jeep's just saying, don't expect the cloth roof to keep you safely inside this car, that's what seatbelts are for!
I think the whole doors thing is just to cover all bases. Warning labels tend to be as ridiculous as lawyers.

5. It seems that the 2007 jeep grand cherokee's are pooly built, I purchased one in june and since then it has been one problem after another with no end in sight. my latest problem is a weak door jam where the door hinge mounts. Just opening and closing the door daily has weaken the door frame to a point that the hinge has moved enough that it caught the fender, now I have a brand spanken new jeep with a bent vender that the dealer won't fix!!!. This is my second grand cherokee and will be my last! It is sad that american auto makers are producing such poorly built cars! I would rather drive my 1966 VW bug on the hotest day of the year than drive my new jeep!!!
