You will find the two male snaps above your rear window (soft top) on the interior. Roll up your window and use these to secure it.

They snap to the back bow of your top. Their purpose is to hold your rear window (soft top) when you roll it up. Hint: roll the window up to the inside. I mainly use mine to stretch up to the front bow clips, keeping them quiet when the top is down.

So much easier to un-zip the window and lay it down behind the rear seat

a Little trick that works out well- is loop it around the end of the back window when its rolled up, then loop it once more, it will hold the window up higher and wont let it bounce (helps to then actually see out of the back without having the window in your way

I figured he could find out that function for himself. When is someone going to come out with a flip down tailgate for us anyway?
