Default Soft top Rear Window Holder

Rolling up the window when it's not perfectly cleans tends to scratch it. I've rigged up a way to hold the window flat to the ceiling on my Rubi Unlimited.

I use two tarp clips, found at Home Depot in the painting section, and two velcro straps. Attach the clips to the velcro straps and wrap the straps around the canopy frame just over the passenger seat.

Pull up the rear window (leaving it attached at the top, and clip near the zipper on each side. Takes only a minute, and you can still peel back the top. Window stays secure and out of the way.

Let me know if the images work... newbie posting this way. Photos also in the my project-JK Gallery to the left.

Great idea. Just a clarification, this requires the soft top to remain on.
