Default windows out while on the road????

is it a bad idea to zip out my windows, roll up the back window while going down the road? will it damage the back section that hooks to the body?

this is a dumb question but how do you roll the back window up? i can see one part of the snap on the inside of the top but havent found the part that snaps to it to secure the back window... any pointers?

you should have gotten a couple of loops that go around the window when it's rolled up, then snaps to the points on the rear cross bar of the softtop.

My "loops" are all stretched out and worthless. I need to find something else that'll work

Default I don't roll em...

I don't roll em up. Just from past experience with my other year models, that will make your windows look bad. They get rub marks from the straps and have a wavy look to em also. If possible I always zip mine all the way out.

Mine are always flapping really bad.. a year later and I don't see any real damage. They look a little worn, but I beat the crap out of my Jeep
