Default Soft Top Window Storage

How do you store your windows when they're out. I usually just throw them in the back, but I was wondering how well the Mopar storage bag works? Especially for the rear window. Also, has anyone tried the Bestop scratch resistant windows yet? What's the tint link on them?

I lay the side windows flat in the back then roll up the rear window and lay it across the side windows. though i haven't had to carry much gear with the top down yet.

I've got mine rolled up in a felt "sandwich" and secured by the 2 velcro straps and sitting in the back of my Jeep. I'm gonna have the wife sew up a canvas drawstring bag to slip them in kind of like the covers for folding chairs.

Clover Patch roll.....works great and keeps the windows strapped to the roll bar for when you need them.

I think there was a thread a while back, maybe in the write-ups about a PVC pipe enclosure. IIRC the guy stacked the windows with fabric in between layers and rolled them up and stuck them in a PVC pipe. I forgot how wide. He then capped both ends and threw it in the back. I doubt anyone would gank a PVC pipe out of your Jeep with the top rolled down.
Its a project I will do in a few weeks and will post pics. Just need to get my mother-in-law to sew the bag.

only if i have to temporarily, seen to many get scratched into uselessness doing that.

I dont know. I have not seen anyone try, they usually just ignore it, or replace them.
