Yep, been there done that! 
Two piece door.
Top half latched in the open position, you can see the glass.
Was backing up, got too close to the dumper, boom, no glass.
Removed the top frame.
May get a piece of plexiglas to put on it for this winter.

Actually the metal frame doors are very difficult to straighten and get back to closing correctly after the door has be snagged on something. My vote is for the all glass door and keep them shut when not entering/exiting cab.

This is true,I will be keeping mine shut from now on. This will be my second door this year,first hay cutter threw something threw it....
I have a question,why do they not use a shatter proof glass? like a car front window...

You're dealer must have charged a lot for labor because the door cost less than $600

Its the glass,the door rubber surrounding,the metal bar that holds the glass and the door handle itself,then install.
