Taking another look .
That riveted strip at the top of your door suggests that the door has been repaired / reskinned . Pretty sure BJ door skins are one piece with no riveted strip .
My rear fenders for my BT7 did not have the front edge turned in to the door shut face , that had to be done by my metal guy .
That’s the way they come so they can be custom fit to your body/superstructure .
