Just put my top and windows back on for the first time in months. Is it best practice to zip the back window in first? or the sides? my sail flaps don't seem to be sitting right

 

I put my sides in first then the back last. Works fine for me.

 

Like above. I always put in my sides first. Just never tried it the other way.

 

I start the zipper a few inches, then velcro the top corner by the door covering where i just zipped so that the door channel part holds when i put it in and the velcro is started for when i am to that step. The i put the flap in the door panel/surround then zip it to the top corner by the rear, put the bottom in the body channel, then finish zipping shut and Velcro

 

And I start with the sides and foo the rear last, seems easier for me

 

As I always struggle with zipping in the rear window I did it first this time.
It went on perfectly ( zipper lined up great!) the second try. Did this make a difference... who knows.
Most likely the biggest difference was cleaning and lubricating the zippers first, but I will be zipping in the back first for now on.

 

I'm on dirt roads alot and agree with the guy who said keep the zippers lubricated and don't use PLIERS trust me on that one!

 

My rear zipper is a little quirky but I never have a problem putting either of them on in any particular order. There's usually enough give to pull the rag either way. Proper lube is a must. Also put some type of zipper pull on. It'll make it a heck of a lot easier.

 

life would be easier if I had two jeeps. One I could leave in the garage with the top down always. Gotta talk the wife into that one.

 

The rear window goes in last for me. This has worked very well and I can slide the bottom back and forth as needed to zip. I also lube the zippers with silicon lube.
