Default Back side window flapping??

Hey folks... new JKU with driver side rear soft window that won't stay in door Jam. It folds back for several inches and stops. Only on driver side. Have had top replaced due to puncture and it still happens. Is it just a faulty curtain that needs replaced? anybody else been or going through same?

Don't have pic. Got it tucked as well as possible but it does not stay tucked in the top left corner of the curtain which is the top right corner of the jam. The wind catches it from there and folds it back.

The "L" shape that goes in the door jam should be facing toward the rear of the jeep when installed properly. When i got my first jku i didn't know how to do the Windows and they kept flapping, one day i accidentally got it in the right place lol till then i actually put Velcro on it to hold it
On my trek top the top don't go all the way in but it don't pop out at all

Yep, sounds like they're not quite installed right. You need to make sure you wrap that L shaped piece around the door jamb and into the slot meant for it. Basically, the window should hold itself in place and not need the door shut on it to remain in place if installed properly.
