VDCFTH0206 is the Vertical Doors, Inc. Vertical Door Conversion Kit for the 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird two-door convertible. This USA-made, vehicle-specific kit retains your original doors and gives them the traditional Lambo door movement: outward first, then upward with gas-shock assistance.
Special order: Confirm current production timing before purchasing. Special-order kits are nonrefundable and non-exchangeable.
Real Support Before, During and After Installation
Buying directly from Vertical Doors, Inc. connects you with the company that manufactures and supports your kit. We can help with fitment and ordering questions, technical guidance during installation, and adjustment or replacement-component questions after your conversion is complete.

Retro Thunderbird Style with Vertical Door Movement
The Thunderbird's rounded body lines, long doors, and two-seat convertible layout give it a recognizable profile. Raising the original doors adds another detail to that shape without replacing the panels that make your T-Bird look like a T-Bird.
At a weekend cruise or parked with your club, the outward-then-up movement becomes part of how you present the car. The conversion works with the Thunderbird's existing design, whether your build centers on clean factory styling or additional custom touches.

How the Thunderbird Vertical Doors Operate
Open the door outward to the hinge system's designed stopping point, then lift it vertically. The gas shock assists the upward movement. To close the door, lower it before moving it inward to latch.
This is a manually operated conversion. The gas shocks provide assistance rather than powered opening.
Installation and Vehicle Modifications
Professional installation is recommended. Bolt-on describes the mounting design, not a modification-free installation. Non-visible trimming or clearance work may be required, along with careful door alignment and checks of wiring clearance, latch operation, and surrounding panels.
If your Thunderbird has custom fenders, previous repairs, or modifications around the hinge area, discuss those changes with VDI before ordering.
Installation Options
Third-party installers operate independently and set their own labor pricing and warranties. Vertical Doors, Inc. is not responsible for third-party workmanship or installation damage.
Before You Order
Match your vehicle to the 2002-2005 Thunderbird application and confirm current special-order production timing with our team. Special-order kits are nonrefundable and non-exchangeable.

Is this a universal Lambo door kit?
No. VDCFTH0206 is a vehicle-specific kit for the 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird.

“Great great place to go you will see alot of beautiful cars ask for Omar or Danny they will take care of you.”
“Vertical Doors Inc is the original name in the game when it comes to Lambo Doors. I had the pleasure of buying their kit for my 2014 C7. I highly recommend getting the install done by them as the process is quite extensive! They had me in and out in one day. No door gaps to speak of and the hinges feel smooth and strong. Don't try doing the kit at home, let the pros do it for you. They also gave me a deal on some beautiful true carbon fiber skirts made in house! Shout out to their sibling company California SuperCoupes.”
“I was having trouble with my C8 Door after a terrible attempt at install by another company (Eikon Motorsports). I called Vertical Doors and Danny was able to be a hugeeeee help. He got me in right away, told me exactly what the problem was, knowledgeable, extremely responsive, and communicated with me the whole way through. I cant say enough of the team there. I wish I would have come to them in the first place.”
Ordered my 2018 SS Camaro kit during the COVID crises. The team worked hard to get my kit to me during this critical time. I am so pleased with the new look. It took my Camaro to a new level. Great craftsmanship and best kit anywhere. - TJ from Florida
“I have ordered and self installed a C7 Corvette Vertical door kit on my convertible. The kit is a top quality product and great tech help if needed. I am looking forward to doing a C8 install later this year. Just waiting on my Corvette to be made and delivered.”
