Disclosed is an insertable roll-up door for a vehicle. The door is formed from a header, left and right guide members and, optionally, a bottom sill. The header, guide members, and sill are assembled at a first geographic location to form a dimensionally stable subassembly. A flexible door panel and roller are installed in the subassembly. The top end of the door panel is connected with the roller. Ends of the roller are received at top portions of the guide members and the roller is supported to rotate about a roller axis. Rotation of the roller winds the door panel onto and off from the roller. Edges of the door panel are guided by the guide members to move vertically to open and close the door. The assembled door is shipped to a second location to be installed on a vehicle. At the second location, an opening is created in the vehicle sized to receive the door. The door is inserted in the opening and fixed to the vehicle with fasteners.
