Default Freedom Panel Stop Storage?

Hey guys im looking to buys something that lets me store my tops in my back seat faster than the Mopar storage bag, it takes me way to long to get them all loaded in that thing, anyone have any experience with this?

http://www.quadratec.com/products/12020_13.htm or another way to store them in your trunk quickly?

I just use the Mopar bag I bought years ago.....didn't find it time consuming at all, place in bag, and zip up....once the freedom tops are in, I just lay them flat in the back...done.

I ve given up on trying to get the panels in the mopar bag. I now sandwich my the bag between the two panels. I keep the bag clipped to the bottom of the seats. I lay one panel down, then I lay the panel bag on top of it and then the other panel on top of the bag. Seems to work well for tooling around town. For longer trips where storage is needed, I put them in the bag as intended.

+1 on this. I have yet to be able to get the tops both in the bag and zipped up. I just use it as a divider the way the prevous poster mentioned. I have decided to keep the freedom top on this summer rather than my soft top. I just dont like the look of the soft top and its just me in the Jeep so as long as its open above my head I am set! So that being the case, I may have to look for a better solution for the panels.

I better keep an eye on this thread for ideas....

You guys must have a later produced mopar bag model, cause both my freedom tops go in easily, and zip up without any issues

I think their trouble is getting them turned right. I've had that trouble before. I lucked out and got an extra bag when I bought guys soft top. I have a bag for each panel. I've seen some guys carry a blanket in the back to wrap them in.

M.O.R.E has a neat storage solution. I dont own one but I saw it in action last year when they set up a booth at a local 4X4 swap-meet. They are a sponsor here.

Looking for another route to go. I have the Mopar bag and it's a tight fit. I live on Long Island and latley it's been nice in the AM and pour in the afternoon. I was storing my tops in the garage but would like to have the panels with me in case of the weather. The bag is tight and I have tried the obvious ways to use it and fooled around with other ways. Very frustrating. Thinking about just using the bag and bungee cord the bag to the rear seat. Any other ideas like the one with the foam cutouts offered on the quadratech web site is great idea but not for $60!!
