Power Windows & Power Door Locks
So I was looking through the optional equipment list for the umteenth time and was starting to think about this one. A lot of the new features the JK will have were developed as a result of what Jeep owners were asking for. Now, maybe it's just me but, are there really people out there who want or need power windows and locks on their JK? Again, maybe it's just me but, what would be the point of that?

Without power windows it makes it real hard to safely roll down the right rear window at speed........
Shoot, have watched someone try to roll down the PASSENGER window while driving. Interesting to see how many times they weave across the lane while attempting that feat!
Oh course, with the doors off, the point is moot

:o yeah, i think that was more the toung n cheek point i was trying to make. with the top down and the doors off, who needs power windows and what good are power locks when somebody could just climb in the back (or worse, cut open your soft top) and take whatever they want.

Locks keep the honest and lightly tempted to remain honest. When the soft top goes on, I think I'll just leave it unlocked. I had a convertible for a couple of years and if I didn't want it stolen I didn't take it along, or took it with me when I left the vehicle. It'll be the same with the jeep............

Save Money!!! scrap the pdl and pw idea! DC could have developed other things than waste R&D on options REAL Jeepers don't care about.
why didn't Jeep or DC come up with power zippers before? Oh yeah, I am such a knuckle head...I often locked my keys inside the jeep when I had the top off...I had to call AAA all the time.

Okay I'll step up & defend the power door locks & windows. Two letters. H3. Jeep will likely steal a fair bit of never leaves the pavement market with the unlimited. Of course it needs to have comperable features for some buyers. It's an easy upgrade for them to sell for around 800 bucks? They are in business to make money, after all. For myself. I have enjoyed the windows. It's kept the top down with my 4 month old son in the back while he recieved some protection from wind blasts. So far the door locks have just been an annoyance. They do the saftey lock thing once you get rolling. So I always have to unlock the doors to get my kids out of the back. Once the hard top goes on the doorlocks make more sense. Just easier to use in any situation. Especially for those mad dash runs in a thunderstorm.

Oh I'm very happy. It's been 10 years since I sold my cj. The unlimited was the only way to get back in a soft top jeep. I've had the top on 2 days out of 10. The windows are going up & down depending on the speed limit. I forgot how cool 70 degrees can feel at 70 mph.
