Default Winter soft top storage

Hello everyone. This past summer I got a bestop supertop nx for the summer months. With summer coming to a close I will be putting my hardtop back on. I wanted to know if there is a certain way to store it so that it will not get messed up and if its a good idea to buy one of those storage bag that you roll the windows in or will they get messed up staying like that all winter.

What I usually do with mine is give it a good wash before pulling it. Then I fold it down, remove it and hang it from a couple garage hooks with the bars hanging down against the wall. I have a flat storage bag I use to put the windows in so they don't have to stay rolled all winter. I hag that bag inside the space of the soft top to reduce garage wall space taken up.

I wash mine, then treat it with 303 protectant. Let it dry for a few hours the just hang it on a rack in the garage. Mid-October until mid-April or so.

definitely use a storage bag to store the windows flat and protected. I used the Mopar storage bag for my 2006 LJR windows and with the soft dividers between the windows it worked great. I stored my bag underneath a bed in the house. like the others, I hung my soft top on the garage wall complete with frame with the frame legs hanging down. I used the fabric packaging piece to cover the soft top fabric to keep the dust out of it as much as I could.

I also used the Mopar storage bag to put my windows in when I was on the trail.
