Default Working on Soft Top Window storagd solution!

Just bought a beautiful 2012 Cosmo Blue Wrangler Unlimited and can't wait to get the top off this baby but I currently live in an apartment without access to a Garage and am concerned with safely storing the windows once their off. I am designing something right now but the fiancé has the Jeep right now and I can't get access it to measure the windows. Can anyone provide me with the dimensions for the two rear side windows and the tailgate window? I would greatly appreciate it!! Thank you!

Why not get a window roll ... that way they are safe , rolled up , protected in felt , cannot be scratched and can be tossed over your shoulder to carry or strapped to the roll bar.

I had been searching online for something like but didn't see anything come up. Thanks for the link! Being an artist I was thinking something like a portfolio that is used to store artwork that way they remain flat while being stored but I will go ahead and give this one a try!

I am anal about my windows and the reason I liked the roll is it has a felt envelope to keep them seperated while rolled up in the sleeve , can be stored on / off the Jeep and is ALOT easier to deal with.

Before I got one I laid down a towel , back window followed by another towel , then side window , then another towel , then window and yet one last towel. Now in my shed I have 4 huge squeeze clamps screwed to the wall. I do the towel layer thing and simply hang the whole ensable up .. done deal and two years later I am still scratch / fog free.
