Default rear window storage?

Has anyone come up with a way to store your rear side windows as they don't roll up. I took them off the other day and drove home and the whole time I was worried they were going to fly out of the back.

There a re a number of products available to help you with this dilemma. Mopar, Clover Patch, and Jeep Window Sock, all offer devices to contain your windows when removed from the vehicle.

Ive seen those before, but aren't they for windows that will roll up? the new windows have two stiff sides which makes rolling up a little difficult.

The windows roll just fine. The rear window rolls from the bottom (you can leave the bar attached if you like) and the side windows roll from the front. They will not roll really tightly, but you can get them to about 6" diameter. Mine are currently rolled in some old sheets.

Those plastic sides are rollable. They are pretty strong and shouldn't break. I was confused also at first thinking I'd be able to roll it up nice and tight but that is not the case.

I use the Clover Patch, never used anything else to compare it to but it works good for me. Just make sure you roll the side windows up long ways, from the "L" shaped plastic up.
Whatever you do don't lay the windows on top of each other or roll them up without something soft/scrath free between each window ... they scratch very easily.
