Default storage Idea

Mopar makes window storage bags. Both are listed for the 2007 model with the 2 door version having 5 separate compartments able to store (2) 1/2 door uppers, (2) rear quarters and (1) rear folded. The other is specific for the 4 door and is described as only storing windows & NOT 1/2 door uppers.

Another company with "clover" in the name will soon make a rollup bag with fabric dividers for window storage only.

Anybody with any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. In the past I had a trim shop make a stoage bag for my 1991 YJ. Worked very well but was $$$$$.
I'm thinking of getting some felt to keep the windows separated and then roll them up and store them in a PVC tube with end caps. Thats bomefroof.
It should be cheap too.
My only question is to keep the bar on the back window or remove it for storage. I've seen both "systems" out there. With the bar on it's quicker if you need to install in a hurry. I'm going to start with the bar on and if that isn't the best then I'll take the bar off and cut the Tube smaller. The bar can then be stored in the boot with the top.

I'm interested in the Insta trunk too, but for the money I want to make sure it's secure.
I believe there is a wall there on the insta- trunk. Not sure about the flex a trunk which expands in size when the seats are folded up.

If anyone has one of these or has seen one in person I'd be interested in an answer too. Their website is useless, doesn't show anything other that a small pic, no shots of it in use or diagrams or anything to explain the product.

There are alot of pictures of it Here:


Some of which are below. In some of them, there appears to be an uninstalled one sitting under the rear bumper, upside down and backwards.





Looks good to me!

Default Use this to store your windows instead of the softop boot

Best out there from Bob Abondolo with Clover Patch Inc.

Available @ Quadratec & 4WD Hardware P/N: 10ST9704

I got my Mopar softop boot and there is NO way I'll store those windows in it; they will scratch up too easily.

I just got my Window Roll from 4WD Hardware. My neighbor has a Window Roll and has used it for years, still like new.

The 07 is a little different on how you roll up the windows but Clover Patch has the rear window felt contoured to fit under the rear window zipper, therefore protectiing the rear window from the zipper teeth. If you don't know what I am talking about, look at your rear window. The zipper is way different that TJs. The zipper teeth can rub the rear window. Thats why there are no straps to roll it up aanymore.

Worth every penney, contructed to last, thick felt.

Does anyone know if the rolled up windows will fit in the storage bin located in the back of the Jeep?
