Default Best "doors" for lowers?

Looking to replace the useless snap on covers for the storage spaces in the lowers.

Recommendation for the best "doors" (ease of use and reliabilityare the biggies)

The Hogtrough doors are only $100. I don't know if they are weather tight like the eglide ones, but anything is better than the useless snap on covers.

I'm not interested in speakers there, I want the extra storage. I just can't decide on which to buy.

+1 for E-Glide Goodies. They're expensive, but seal perfectly, and you have flexibility. I putr a locking one on the right & a normal door on the left for the stuff you always need to put somewhere.

The Hog Trough door are first class, fit perfect and look great. I got the set with the drink cup holder on the left. A very nice, first class cup holder too. I was glad to get rid of the holder on my bars. The guy who runs the business, Jim Carpenter, seems to be a great guy. I corresponded with him a couple of times via email before I bought my set. He was always very quick to return my email and he even through in a Hogtrough tee shirt and a coffee mug with my order!!
