I run mine in the fall. You're fine if you end up driving in heavy rain, but if you are parked overnight in a downpour, expect to have a wet trunk area. I had to bail out the little cubby after leaving my JK parked in a few days of pouring rain. I'm going to be taking the windjammer to a local interior/soft top shop to see if they can modify it a bit to fit perfectly. If it had 1" extra fabric on each side at the channels I think it would be ideal. I've also found that the leaking seems to be more a product of the duster than the windjammer. The duster allows water to pool up and if there's enough of it, left for long enough it just soaks right through. So I'll be experimenting with a couple bows under the duster too. The combo looks great though, so if you don't live in an overly wet climate and or you always park in a garage, you'd be just fine.

Which windjammer are you guys running? I have the BestTop bikini top/duster/windjammer, but my windjammer doesn't attach to the surrounds....are the pics of the 4drs with jammers showing the 2dr jammer used in the rear, or is that an updated 4dr windjammer?

I am running the 2 door jammer. I put mine on well before they had any 4 door jammer offered. See the gallery link below - it shows the mating to the deck cover I had to jury rig plus the straps I used to hold it to the roll bar. I would hope the 4 door mates to the deck cover with the new version.

Cool, thx for the pics. Has anyone purchased the new BestTop 4dr WindJammer? The description for the new one says it goes all the way to the floor. Haven't seen any pics of it though.

Those of you running the 2dr windjammer, can you use the back seats, or do they get folded down?

Looking at the 4dr windjamer, it doesn't look like it extends the full width, just kinda sits in the middle, which looks effen retarted.

My back seats sit back just fine. They press against the windjammer, but it's not a problem.

Any pics of a two-door? How does the stereo sound with this thing installed?

Great looking install. I'm running the Mopar Sunbonnet (hate that name!), Duster
and 4-door Windjammer. When parked, I use the Bestop Trail Cover to seal
everything up. It doesn't quite fully cover the rear tub area because the Duster
has the lip tied up, but any rain that gets past ends up on top of the Duster, where
I can sweep it off after I pull the Trail Cover. Also, be certain to get the rainwater
off the top of the Trail Cover before removing it--or you may end up with it all over
you as you pull it off (bet you can guess how I know that!).

I have a 4dr and I want to go with the 2dr Windjammer but I have a couple of questions: Whats the visibility like? The Windjammer clear window looks small and combined with the back seat headrests does this restrict visability?

And with the 4dr set up do you need the Soundbar Cap? Or can I get a Safari, W/S channel, Duster and 2dr Windjammer and be set?
