Default Windjammer with factory soft top?

Has anyone used a Bestop Windjammer with their factory soft top? I like the idea of being able to throw the windows and doors on if rain is coming but cutting down the wind in the cockpit when riding without them.

I don't see why not, unless you have the wraparound, then you'd have to pull it out of the door surrounds before installing the side windows.

For the four doors, the bottom of the Windjammer attaches with a plastic rail to a plastic groove on the Duster. Obviously the Duster and the softtop are not compatible (both need to attach to the same slots on the tub). So, the Windjammer would be flopping around on the bottom (there are no side attachments, either--just top and bottom). I'm not sure about the two doors, however. I think that Windjammer may go all the way to the floor, but you should check.

Unless you have a wraparound windjammer you can run a windjammer and soft top at the same time (on a two door). The two door windjammer goes all the way down.

Thanks.

That makes it a no go for me.

I thought it would work and appreciate the confirmation.
