JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

I have a 2015 2dr hardtop ; I have no qualms installing a pair of these ; I'm thinking the sliders - ventilation for the dogs, plus I can reach in to access storage bags.

2014 2dr. I have no issue and should have no problem with a cut to fit install. Count me in.

I've been looking for a way to put in sliding windows in the back but I'd like to have a window screen. I tried sleeping in the jeep but the cab got too hot overnight. I was worried about bugs by opening the window. Having a sliding window with a screen would be great!

Screens are pretty common in RV sliders; the sliders I've been experimenting with have them. It's a little hard to tell but if you look through the open pane in the right photo you can see the lumber standing in the background looks slightly fuzzy, that's because you're viewing it through the screen.

Excellent, definitely interested. Would it be an adaptor that's riveted in or glued in?

No, the Retrofit Kit that enables flat windows to be installed on the curved window mounting surface of the factory hardtop isn't a riveted or glued in adapter.

I'm definitely interested. I have a 2013 2door jk but my hardtop is from a 2010. I have a guy who can help me install them. More than willing to be one of the test subjects.

There is now a company that may be interested in bringing window kits to market using the retrofit kit I've designed; they told me the other day that they were thinking of starting a thread on the subject to gauge interest and determine if it's worthwhile to pursue it. If they start that thread, I'll post a link to it and those of you who are interested in the kit can comment on it there and volunteer if you're interested in doing that.
