Ya, take the top off, I know. It doesn't always fit into the schedule. I love driving with the freedom tops off, windows down. Just don't like the interior wind tunnel. It would be cool if the side glass tilted out?
I don't think there are any easy solutions. You could probably work with a fabricator on the side windows and use some of the hardware that they use on Chrysler minivans to create side windows that vent outward. Or, you could look at replacing the side windows with sliders- at one time there was a "safari" top retrofit for the TJ that included sliding windows on the side. Could probably do something similar with the JK.

I don't know about adding a sunroof. I'm sure it's possible, but seems like it could create wind/buffeting issues of its own.

Anything is possible, it just costs money!

Why not just build a spacer to keep the rear window open a bit...Without allowing it to bounce around.

That would be awesome if they had rear slider windows for the hard top!
