there is a plastic clip that should be there in the middle that clips over the fabric and holds it pretty tight. I don't think it would go anywhere.

 

Got it installed yesterday, went on real easy. Took me and a buddy about 2 hours or so, helped a lot that it was 90 degrees here in albuquerque the last few days.

Immediately tried the first trick and it worked like a charm, real simple to do. Probably gonna end up trying out the bracket method too, I like the look of it sitting on the rear roll bar.

For those of you that roll your windows up into a roll, Do you have any issues rolling up the sides that slide into the door surround? I'm assuming since mine is new they're super stiff, but I tried rolling them that way and it seems like I shouldn't be rolling it up

 

After the painfully long time it took to put it on I never even thought about taking it off until the hardtop goes back on. I guess it was everything else that was a total PITA, I am definitely going to try this over the weekend. Thanks for sharing your findings!

 

Good deal. I have been scratching my head. Thanks.

 

I tried rolling my windows when I made my brackets. I did not have any luck, but I did not try to take out the white stiffener on the inside. I am hoping that was my problem, as the guy in the video seems to roll his very easily. Another thing to note is that he rolls his in a towel. This is purely speculation but the added material from the towel increases the overall diameter of the rolled window, thus putting less stress on the window stiffeners (because you're bending it over a larger radius) making it easier to roll. That might be the secret to rolling the windows!

 

to roll the sides you have to take out the plastic corners. then roll them from side to side not up down.

 

Yeah I saw that in the video, however I was curious because the bottom part of the windows that tuck into the tub rails do not bend easily. I found a way to fold the window in half but it creased the window so I won't be doing that again lol.

I'll try the next time rolling up the tabs that sit in the tub rail, we will see how it goes.

 

are these procomp tires?

They're Nitto Terra Grapplers AT, 285/70/R17. They have held up pretty well in Rochester weather (rain, snow, ice, dry pavement, mud). I haven't gotten stuck yet in the light trail ridding I have done, but I have had a couple close calls in mud right after rain. Not too loud on the highway either!

Once the window heats up again, the crease should come out. I would still rather roll the window than fold it though. I wasn't able to test the rolling the windows into the top this weekend, it was raining on and off every day

 

Yes, the plastic that grabs the tub seems stiff, but rolls OK and flattens out nicely once unrolled. I've had my Trektop for a year now and it is a 5 min job to take off or put back on and so am no longer hesitant about taking it off anymore.
