2010 Softtop is just a little different that the one on the video. There is no rail retainer above the doors. One thing I did not figure out yet is popping out the female threaded small bar that the hard top bolts to

I will have my first soft top next week. My dad's top was a pain in the ass for his four door. Hope my 2 door will be fine.

Practice practice!

Well. I removed my top today. I remembered that the first fold should go out toward the back of the Jeep. However, the sail panels keep peeking out from the top. Anyone have a way to keep them INSIDE the top?

I flip the sails onto the top before taking the top down. I keep them close the that back bar. When it folds down, it will go into that larger first fold (might have to fix it) and fold down into the tub.

The Jeep DVD does a great job of showing how the folds are made. Shows the entire top lowering procedure.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to roll the windows up. I just laid them flat on the back cargo area and its pressing/curving against my front seats.

The side windows have that door channel that prevents rolling one way and they also have the bottom channel inserts that prevent rolling the other way?

I went to joann's fabrick and got some fleece. It is bigger than the side windows. I place the one side window on the fleece and then fold over the fleece and place the other indow on it.

You are right, the door channels do not roll, but the side ones will. I make sure the door channels are together and make sure the side channels are flat. Then I roll from the door channels. I go easy, but I get a tight roll. Than I have some small straps that will keep them rolled. Does not hurt them. A few times I rolled them in the fleece, and put them in my wifes car. Even in very hot days, theu unroll no problem.

Hope this helps.
