Default Soft Top window storage bag opinion?

Looking for a storage bag for my soft windows when I have the top dowm. I am looking at the Clover Patch Window Roll or the Bestop HOSS™ Window Storage Duffle. Has anybody used these or have any suggestions?

I'm interested in this also, I currently have one of the big zippered cases with the handles, but it's bulky and does not store well in the Jeep. Do these roll up storage things have a place to store the tailgate bar?

I've got the clover patch and it spews as advertised. Hind sight and bang formula buck. Not the best decision. Make your own for half the price.

Cool Soft-Top Window Storage with Towels and a Sleeping Bag Stuff Sack

I did a thread about my towel method. LINK->https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-s...f-sack-239689/

This is a copy paste job below.

My current storage method uses
  • Sleeping bag stuff sack by "Outdoor Products- Stuff Bag". 13in Dia X 30in L. $10
  • 2 beach towels larger than back window
  • 3 bath towels about 5 foot long - 1 is for wrapping the opposite direction on the outside. (beach towels would work too but are a bit more expensive)
  • Sleeping bag straps $2 or you could use 30" velcro straps (27" Circumference 8.6" Diameter)

Here is how I roll it on the hood. I hook the sacks string on front bumper recovery hook so it won't fly away. I've also used the antenna. I start with the rear window sandwiched in the 2 beach towels.


I then add the side windows with a towel between them. I roll it with all the hard bottom parts on top of each other. It makes it easier to roll that way.


I roll it all up going one way. Then I use a small towel and roll that towel around the roll the other way. It a bit of over kill but it keeps everything wrapped up nice and stops it from unraveling better. Plus it's nice to have an extra towel if I need it. Then I put on the sleeping bag straps. No need to over do it just get them snug enough for the towels to stay in place. If you just loosen the straps when your putting the windows back in you don't have to re-thread them each time, and can hold them on the front recovery hooks (antenna, neck) too.

I used bungee's before the sleeping bag straps. They worked but seemed to put more stress on the windows. They would look sort of bent up that way until they warmed up.


30" is the perfect length for the sack. There is plenty of extra width room in the sack when it's all done. It makes it really easy to put the roll in without much stuffing.


This is how it fits in the back
