Purchasing soft-top, are they all zipperless now?

[Mr19]

Looking at a Trektop Slantback Glide for a '25 and see the windows are all zipperless, is this the same for all tops these days?

Last softtop I purchased was for my '91 and I was able to roll-up the back window for airflow and when taking out the side windows they simply rolled up and went into a storage bag for protection. Concerned about how bulky it will be to store the new zipperless versions and keep with you in the back.

The JL-generation soft top uses hard plastic tabs and retention channels to secure the top to the vehicle. The windows aren't designed to be rolled up or folded in any manner, unfortunately. Yes, carrying the window panels inside the Jeep, even when correctly and safely stowed in the related storage bag, will require a bit of space to do so.

I do miss the functionality that the use of zippers provided.

I’ll gladly trade any functionality of zippers for the ease and convenience of the tracks and channels. It’s taken the frustration out of removal and installation of using a soft top. No more swearing, no more frustration with zippers and teeth not lining up, no more binding in the corners. And that window bag when properly secured behind the rear seat really doesn’t take up that much space.

Once my windows are out in the spring they generally stay out till fall. I store them in the garage.
