Security Measure for Soft Top
I found a way to lighty secure the 3 windows in the soft top. It will not prevent the true thief who wants the windows, or who wants in, however I think it will deter kids and casual thiefs.
I work in a ghetto, and just don't trust anyone. And we don't have real secure parking. So you have to get some long wire ties and run them through the back of the zipper. You can see it preyty good in the photos.
Enjoy,
John

Yes, cut the ties. --takes a couple of minutes to install new ones.
Found a good security measure for going to work--I'm going to take the WIFES CAR.

1) Adopt a Zen-like attitude toward your personal possessions, and serenely accept that they may not be there when you return, if leave them unattended.
2) Turn into a hyper-vigilant, paranoid, obsessive-compulsive security nut, and keep a constant watch on your Jeep with gun in hand... this approach doesn't go over too well with local law enforcement and employers...
Realistically, I think that the easy-to-zip-out windows on the soft-top were an attempt by Jeep to lessen the number of tops that get cut through by 8ssh0le thieves... but DrinkingMyMilk is right - they'll go for the path of least resistance, and won't hesitate to ruin your beautiful new soft-top if they see some trinket they want or can pawn off for some meth or crack.
I've seen a number of folks on the forum with this "Zen-like attitude," who live with the rule: Take it with you if you want to keep it. Inconvenient for sure, but that's the reality of our world (and I'm sad about it too). :sad:

Yup, that'd be me. (although Zen was prolly a homeless dude with nothing to lose anyhow) I dont even lock mine. in hopes they wont cut the windows, but i imagine sooner or later they will. even with the doors unlocked. Theives arent always the brightest bunch.
College students in the parking lot, Tourist parking lot inches away, CrackHo's & Methheads from across the tracks. I almost felt safe parking here...
...until I found out how often the politicians show up. *shudders*
