Storage options for zip-out windows
OK, I don't feel its smart to leave the windows in the garage when I'm out with the Jeep and the top is off. I know there are certain storage options, and their cost ranges from $60-$80 what I have seen so far. How do you guys do store your zip-out windows? Looking for ideas - Thanks!

Get a large, clean fleece blanket...cheapest will do.
Stack them in the blanket, making sure that each side is covered by blanket (fold the blanket over every time you put a new window in). Last, put the rear window in, cover, and roll them all together--but not real tight... (using the rear window bar as kind of a guide) and place it gently in the rear cargo area under the top!

Three options for me:
When I take care -- I have two or three pieces of fleece cut to a bit larger than the windows sizes. I lay the windows out, later up the fleece, and roll them up.
When I am in a rush -- I just roll the two side windows together, and roll the rear window around it's bar. No protection. A bungee cord holds them together.
In the garage -- Hard to explain -- basically I store my hardtop in the garage on a home-made cart, with the rear window facing down and forward part facing up. I have a section of 6" diameter cardboard tube that I cut lengthwise and slip over the side of the hardtop, which provides a nice round/smooth surface to lay the two side windows over. I then take the entire rear window, bar and all, and hang the bar between the cutouts for the freedom panels. Like I said, hard to explain, but if I had a picture you'd see how simple it is.
