Soft top rear window
I had a TJ and would roll up the back window and snap the hangers around it while I had the top off or the side windows off. But after a while the rear window got scratches and looking bad, I don't want to get my JK window looking like that. So anyone have any ideas how to put the rear window up for side windows off or the top off?

Thanks for the input but I have another question, if you have scratches on your windows already is there anything you can do to fix those?

Instead of rolling the window up, you can unzip it and let it flop down into the cargo area. It won't get scratched too much that way, unless you've got stuff back there. It's also easier and faster than rolling it up to the top.

x2 on the Cloverpatch bag. Works great and protects the windows very well.
I use a damp microfiber cloth to clean it before I put the windows in the bag. I've done it on the trail many times. Takes a few minutes, but the windows look great.
Pledge works pretty good for hiding the smaller scratches. Just don't use paper towel to wipe down the windows. You'll build up fine scratches until the widows get cloudy. Stick to clean microfiber.
Another tip is to rub paraffin wax or an old candle on the zippers. I use the wax used to seal canning jars. I rub some on the zippers then cycle the zipper to work it in. Works best if it's hot and in direct sunlight. Then the wax actually melts in a bit.
