I always enjoy rolling up the back window. No matter what way you roll, they will scratch. Sometimes you just gotta say fuck it, and you can get a new rear window fairly cheap so who cares.
I have never rolled the bar with the window, I always removed the bar and left it home (When I had my 2 door) but now with all this room on a 4 Door, I think the bar will stay in cargo.
Nothing ever removed all the scratches, hell you can scratch these windows with micofiber But I have used many of the "Scratch Remover" kits, and they all seem to do the job at regaining some "optical clarity".
One little trick that seems to help hide scratchs, try using some of the Tire Wet products. I saw the dealer putting this on my old trade in and I was blown away how NEW my weathered rear window looked when they put it on the lot.

Reading all these complaints brings me back to the days of my old TJ softtop...
I found the ultimate solution to these scratched window issues............................a JK with a HARD TOP

Good advice, I'll definitely take it into account as soon as I can get my rear soft top window off. The left zipper is loaded with salt and garbage and won't budge. WD-40 can't even loosen her up. :/

I wouldn't spray any WD40 on there. They sell a special zipper lubricant thing that looks like chap stick that is supposed to lube it up

How are you guys rolling up the rear window? Are you just unzipping the sides and then rolling it up and securing it somehow?
