Can you have only one panel out and leave the other panel installed in the jeep with the hardtop attached while driving around or do you have to have both panels out? Anybody been doing this with any problems?

Thanks,

I know they can be removed independently. But my question is can you drive with just one panel remove, one panel attached and the main hardtop attached. Will there be too much air flow for the one panel to stay secure to the main hardtop??

@yugi .. As I said, "You can remove one panel or both and be aok to drive around." Again, YES you can and no the remaining panel is going nowhere. Airflow will not affect the panel. Each panel is very, very securely fastened with its own fasteners.

I'm going to guess Dan because Yugi and I have something in common: a mother-in-law we take places who may be sun-adverse.

Hopefully you got the right information below, I would have thought (without reading the manual of course) that the answer was NO NO NO! I mean, yes, you can, but no you shouldn't! But apparently you can. I would definitely look at the manual at this one, I guarantee there is an answer there - and I would go by that so you don't have one panel fly off at highway speeds!

After nearly 4 years since he asked that he's probably already done it by now. ;)
