I'm pretty sure a kitten only dies if you call your jeep a "car"
When you call it a "truck" a baby seal dies.
It's true, so make sure you call a jeep a jeep.

A jeep is a jeep. It's not a car or a truck. It's just a jeep.

I'm sure this is a lousy picture, but my and my daughter's soft-tops are hanging between the lolly columns in our garage.
The soft-top should be removed entirely and stored, and yes, leave the brackets on the diagonal in the vehicle.

Edit- I must learn how to hold this IPad so the pictures are right-side up.

I kind of like it upside down. Looks more mysterious.

Sorry fellas. I had no idea about the "truck" reference. It won't happen again. Thanks for the education
As for the soft top, I think I understand the procedure now after taking a better look at the bracketry.
Thanks for all your help

I wrap the top itself in a blanket and put the windows in a bestop duffle roll and store them in the garage. DO NOT leave it on the jeep with the hard top.

Not seeing anybody mentioning that the two plastic slide ons that lock the rear window bar in place have to be removed too.
