Default what are the extra straps for?

I have a 4dr soft top. I use the 2 velcro straps to hold down the top when its folded back. But I'm trying to figure out what the 2 straps with the grommet snaps are for. I looked thru the manual and didn't find anything about it. Does anyone use them for a special purpose?

They snap onto the back above the rear window to hold the rear window when you roll it up. Lucky you got yours with the Jeep, I had to go back to the dealer for mine. :toung:

Like Steve Martin in the Jerk, you now know what the special purpose is.
