Word of WARNING
Now that the winter snow and ice is well upon us be very careful with your soft glass windows. They become very brittle in the cold and ice. Be VERY careful if they have iced over and need ice removal. I have cracked two rear soft glass windows this way.

...and if you have a hard top....watch those rear glass struts in freezing temps. The fluid in one of mine froze over night, and when I opened my tailgate, the strut exploded.

I dont know what is so hard about this, dont touch them and they will be fine. I go the whole winter not touching the windows and have never had a problem. No need to see out them, thats was side mirrors are for. If u want to see out them, run ur jeep with heat full blast for 15-20 minutes and then go to car wash and rinse them off.

I learned this lesson the hard way with my first jeep, an '86 CJ7. Of course, with those years, the windows were not removable, so if you cracked one you had to replace the whole soft top.
Or use packing tape, which is what I did as a poor college student.
