The straps came packed with your soft top windows or hardware. They are elastic loops with one snap on each. Look inside the rear roof of your soft top, you will see one snap on each end of the rear top.

I have read a number of times it's not a good idea to drive with side windows and rear window removed, may damage the rear sail panels, for the obvious reasons. But I like it like that! This will be my first summer with an Unlimited (4 door), and I can see myself just rolling the rear window up and leaving side windows on. It was a diff. experience with a 2 door.

Rear Window Rollup Pocket!
I have an idea. What about having two thin towels or other soft material sewed together (3 Sides) creating a window pocket. Unzip the window on both sides, side the pocket on, and roll it up. Should add the protection some of you crave.

I got that zipper lube from the dealer, actually wasn't too pricey. Quadratec sells a really good soft top cleaning kit for 35 bucks. The window polish works great.

You may actually have better luck with the liquid kind if yours are stuck and then use the chapstick stuff to keep it maintained because the stick wont be able to get to the teeth that are stuck very easily like a liquid can.
