Abstract
An upper door extension for vehicle doors, where the door extension conforms with a door frame recess of a raised roof. The door extension includes a support member and a contoured cover member. The support member includes a rigid frame and a pair of attachment rails which are attached to side edges of the rigid frame, such that a portion of each attachment rail extends downwardly therefrom. The contoured cover member is made of composite material and integrally molded to the support member and covers the entire rigid frame to form the upper door extension. The door extension is mounted to the vehicle door by inserting the attachment rails into a top end opening of the vehicle door and attaching the attachment rails to the interior sidewalls of the vehicle door.
