Rear plastic window wont stay...
So recently I put my top back up due to cold weather and this side window does not want to stay in place. If I go over like 30 it comes out and starts flapping around. I reattatched it and everything still comes out. Any fixes? Very annoying...

You probably do not have it installed right... On the door surrounds there is a channel where the window hooks into. the hard L shaped end of the window curls into this channel to lock it into place

if it is in the track properely it is impossible for it to come out especially with the doors on
double check and make sure the edge is rolled over and pressed into the groove. It helps if you undo the zipper about half way first.

Ah, that plastic L piece is suppose to bend in and tuck into the frame? That would explain that... When I got the jeep it was fitted in like I do it now and stayed fine, it just recently came undone. I'll try it that way though

What I do.
1) Start the zipper, zip it about 2"
2) Tuck in the bedrail lip, start nearest the door and just get it started a few inches..
3) Jam the rigid stem of the window around the door frame into the small (1/8"?) gap, starting at the bottom (the bedrail lip may more some but thats fine) and work it in until the stem is fully seated.
4) Finish setting the rest of the bedrail lip along the bottom towards the rear
5) Finish zippering and velcroing.
