Default What do you do with the Soft Top Windows?

I fianally saved up enough to buy a soft top for my 2003 TJ which until now
has been a hard top only. I have seen two products for storing the windows,
1. Clover Patch Window roll which mounts to the roll bar and keeps the
windows with you 2. Mopar Jeep Window Bag at the dealership which may or
may not be carried with you in the Jeep? Has anyone ever used either of
these two products and can you recommend one over the other?

Thanks,

My wife bought some cotton felt material folded it over twice sewed it up on
3 side and made a 8 inch round bag for storage behind the rear seat. I
slide the side and rear windows between the felt (wiped and clean so they
will not get scratched) rolled it up and put it into the tube made out of
vinyl with a draw string. Then down comes the top or leave it up optional.
Every thing costs less than 50 bucks and is better than what you can buy.

store windows in a pair of track pants.
or as i do all weather gortex pant.
that way you have a dual purpose item to carry in the jeep. and if ya muddy
up you pants you can put those ones on if need be.

I know a gent from this group that had the Mopar bag and it tucks under
the back seat. It was nice and kept his windows well.

Anything that rolls is fine, but the windows must be spotless to do it
or they will get scratched.

If you're referring to the soft upper doors, they have to be completely
removed. If you're referring to the rear side curtains, I put them in the
factory bags that I still have. They simply roll up and fit down inside the
bags like a tube. You can then keep them behind the rear seat.

Often, when I know it's not going to rain, I completely unsnap my top form
the frame and completely remove it, leaving it at home. I have a half cover
that covers only the occupant compartment and keep it with me in case of a
pop-up shower or something. I can just sit it out.

I've had a Window Roll for a few years now and love it. I still have the
original windows on my 01 TJ. Yea, they are scratched from tree branches
but they are as clear as can be. The felt that goes between each window
actually polishes the windows. I can't believe I ever did without it! Had
a Mopar bag and it fell apart in short order. Go for it!

I love the Clover Patch Window roll. Never leave home without it!
