Default Windjammer

I bought a wraparound windjammer and a bestop duster. The duster has a plastic hook type seam at the end near the window and the windjammer has a zipper. How did you connect the two? The Windjammer then as plastic hook type seam at the top of it that would connect near the roll bar with no straps. How did you connect the top of the Windjammer to the rollbar?

Thanks,
TJC

To context the windjammer and duster, I went a crafts store and picked up a cheap snaps tool and snaps.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, write ups and photos! Im installing the wrap around on my 08 unlimited, which has a 13 interior. I have the complete best top set up. My plan is to take the back of my top off, install the wind jammer and then re install everything. My difference is that i plan to run this all winter each year and leave my soft top stored. Im in CA so rain isn't too much of an issue. But I do need the protection on my snow runs.

I use armor all to temporarily water proof my duster and Safari top. I also sewed in Velcro that connects to my roll cage, eliminating any flapping problem some people posted here. My top doesn't flap at all..

I will use the suggestion to tie those two door seat straps to connect to the back roll bar. We will see how it goes!

The wind jammer went right on. The seat belts came off using an 11/16 socket. When I tried to sinch the lower straps to the back rollbar it tightened everything up, but one of my door sets started to come loose. Im going to wait a few days before finishing it. Then I'll cut small holes for my Bestop Safari straps to go through.

The Bestop Safari header leaves a gap above the rear door surround. I don't think the Mopar top has that gap.

Oh. I run the poly performance rear interior rack and this mod works with it!

I got everything on today and will try to post some pics. I was able keep the door jams in the surrounds with sheet rock screws. The mounted flush and solved the pulling out problem once i tightened the under-duster flaps.
