CitadelJeep04

Mine was brand new for all of 15 minutes after I bought the Jeep. Drove directly from the dealership to the back of my neighborhood where they are doing construction and got it stuck as hell. Scratched the crap outta the windows with a heavy dose of tree branches and shrubs...

I have a question about laying your side windows down in the back. I have a 4 door, but usually keep the rear seats folded down. I've been laying my side windows down in the back, but I've noticed them fluttering around from the wind, so I make a point of keeping something on top to weigh them down. Do you have this issue, or are they relatively safe just laying in the back?

I have been using a microfibre blanket to wrap the rear window in, and just lay the sucker down on the passenger floor out of harms way, and still have some minor scratches/marks. I don't think you can keep these things perfect no matter what. I roll my sides and I can't find a mark at all. Maybe the rear windows is more sensitive, dunno..

Invest in the Cloverpatch window bag....best thing for storing windows and you can just place the bag over the softop for your summer trips if you hit a rain shower or 2. Just be sure the windows are cleaned before you roll them up or you will get more scratches.

You can pick these up from Quadratec

Well my rear seats are not usually folded down, so I think that protects the side windows from the wind in the back. They seem fine. I would think you would be all set either way. Either way it is hard to keep the side and rear window looking new. The good news is, if you scratch them you can replace them, remember its a jeep take it out and enjoy it.....

I got lucky, my JK was used, but the soft top had never been removed from its packaging

That about sums it up. I've come to terms with the marks on the rear window, and I don't expect my sides to stay in spectacular shape, though I do need a decent way to store them.

I saw another thread recently where somebody made a simple window container from some 6" PVC and a couple end caps. I think I'm going to do something like this...the only problem is I'm having a tough time finding 6" PVC or ABS...4" seems to be the biggest I can find

I scratched mine on the first tight trail I went on. Scratched my paint on the second trail. They are going to get scratched. End of story.

scratched mine the day I got the Jeep... throwing them in the garage will do that
