For a JKU, remove all windows, open the tailgate, unbuckle the 2 latches behind the driver and passenger sun visors. Flip entire section up and fold over itself. It will rest over the back seats. Go around the back and remove the corners (where they tuck into the body) and lay them across the top of the soft top. On each side, just above the passenger doors, undue each spring clip that holds the top to the jeep. With help the first time, lift and push the entire top rearwards and it will fold on itself in the cargo area. Secure the sides with the Velcro straps and ur good to go.

Remember this. Fold it nicely as you take it down making sure that it doesn't get caught up in the frame.

I have not done this yet and I have a question. Can you roll up the rear window or does it need to be removed?

I pull the canvas towards the back as the sunrider is folded backward.
