Have you ever folded down your windshield on your JK?
I'm interested in trying it, never drove around with the windshield down, I found a vid on youtube for a 4 door but it shouldn't be too difficult.

Tried it once on my jku. Couldn't stand how it looked so I put it right back up. The roll cage just looks wrong! But everyone has differing opinions. So I say if you want to try it have-atter and have some fun. Just remember to strap it down. Or be prepared to replace your windshield. Cheers

Never have. That new forum sponsor vector has some hood plugs called "UFO's" that I was thinking about getting. They replace the rubber stoppers, but are only viable if you never plan to lower your windshield. I'm thinking they will look a lot better, plus, as they mention in their advertising, it will be nice to have something that won't have the constant white wax on it.

Very time consuming. I dont think it's worth the effort.

Well tried it today only took me 20 minutes total for assembly and disassembly. It seals the same it was before I hosed it down to simulate rain haha. I don't think its going to go down anytime soon until I get my cage.

UK dealers strongly advice against it as at breaks the bottom seal, not sure if that's just a RHD CRD specific issue. So not going to happen for me.
