I obviously never wondered enough to ask, but folding them into triangles may keep them in the Jeep sometimes!

Thanks

Yep you can even roll the side windows up with the rear window and the loops that hold the rear window will retain all 3. This works to keep it a togetjer when the top is down, but it sucks when the top is up like a bikini top because all 3 windows rolled up together make for a big roll and blocks most of the rear view miror.

Some of the DIY projects on this forum are great, search for the guy who used a sleeping bag storage case, towels and velcro...brilliant! I am handy but not with this type of thing, so I went the easy route and picked up the Clover Patch roll. It wasn't too pricy, does the job and you can clip it to the roll bar when the top is down. I recommend it!

I took two binder clips (those large black paper clips) and tied one of the tabs to the back of the headrest with 550 chord and left the other tab free. Then clip in your windows. Holds them upright.

Very cheap and easy.
Done the same thing works good except I bought a camping chair and use the bag from it to put them in rolled up

So that's how you roll up the the side window's.

I had never considered folding them before. Does this not put a crease in the window? I guess maybe you fold along that diagonal canvas strip perhaps?

I've always rolled mine flat, front-to-back. The plastic tuck-in flap along the bottom is quite pliable enough to roll.

It does not end up folding along the stripe. I would not recomend leaving them rolled up for extended periods of time, using any method. Rolling your way works in the short run but leave it rolled that way in the heat for too long and I would be concerned that they may hold form.
