Default Doors off/Safari doors with rear windows in?!

This may be a really stupid question, but is it safe to run doorless or with safari doors on and the rear soft windows still in place? Will this damage, stretch, etc. the windows or anything or will they blow out of the surrounds potentially?

I have safaris on now and pulled the rear windows all out, which is fine, but I kind of liked the look with them in also and it may stop some of the whirlwind winds from blowing as well?

What is everyones take on this? Remove them, leave them in and zipped, leave them in and roll up the rear window only?

I guess I will learn by trial and error, LOL. I'm running no windows now, but plan to put the sides back on tonight and leave the rear out. I may even try rear in with the sides of it unzipped or something. I am thinking it should be fine if there is some 'give' for the air to travel through...

If i mess something up, I could use new softy windows anyway, as mine are scarred pretty badly. A set for daily driving and a set for wheeling maybe LOL

i dont think it will harm. i did notice last year when i ran no doors and top in sunrider and no rear windows i felt like i was gonna loose the whole top while driving, so i dont recommend that, but what your saying should be fine.
i like no doors and no rears with top closed fully. keeps my bald head white and not red.

I drove it about 75 miles today with doors off (safaris on) and all rear windows out, sometimes at speeds of 65mph, and it was perfectly fine.

Good to know about sunrider though. Not sure there is any need to run sunrider when you run like this though, its like a windstorm in there already. Haha.

We'll see if it dies down at all with rear sides in tonight.
