That's what I use and it works great. I have my windows in it all the time without any problems.

I leave them in the back, because one can not tell they are windows. Just some rolled up dorky looking fleece. I place it behind the drivers seat, they fit pretty well in there. I don't have the back bench in my JK.
This is the exact approach I was talking about. I measured all 3 windows, took the largest measurement and bought enough fleece from wally world to make a sheet for each window. Cut to length, and I sewed (yeah I learned how to sew way back guys.. ) one end of the fleece sheets together so it never slips apart. throw a window on each sheet, roll tight same as the fancy made ones, throw into a heavy duty trashbag, rap with sleeping bag ties, and throw in your back seat. Can do this all for about $20-$25.

Colverpatch window roll. I have seldom seen such a wonderfully crafted product, especially in this age of cinese rubbish we live on. Great purchase, worth its price

High five WhiskyPirate!

I didn't even sewed it. My wife actually got the fleece and had it cut from the bolt. The width when folded will cover both windows. I place one, fold over the fleece and place the second one. It is all good. My wife picked white with black dog prints on it. Like I said, when rolled up, it looks like nothing anyone wants to take and nothing like a window!

I also agree on the window roll.

As far as stealing... if someone wants your windows bad enough, out or in, it won't make any difference. They'll just unzip them and walk away with them.

I stole an idea from a guy on here and cut a piece of 6" abs pipe to fit right behind the back seat. The rolled up windows don't fill the whole pipe so I keep my jumper cables in the other side

Side Windows:



Back Window:



With your Soft Top Down, place the Window Roll between the Tailgate and the Lowered Soft Top. The Window Roll isn't visible to a passer-by, unless they move the Soft Top around to look behind it.

Best of Luck!

Cheers!

I store my windows in the garage. I have had my top down for about 3 months now. I will put them back on when the top goes on for winter.
