Sky one roof - removing side windows?

[Mrcake3014]

Sky one roof. Looking for information from someone who has it already. I had it with my 09 Liberty. It sold me the car. Just ordered a 2019 because of the roof. They make it seem easy to take out the side windows, is it?

I don't own one Paul. I'm just checking if this is a video you've seen.

I'm all but certain the demonstrator in the video was not removing the window for the first time, but it didn't seem hard.

I also can't speak to the ease with which it reconnects.

In absence of any criticism on the bboard, I'd be inclined to take that as a good sign.

Super easy. 10 seconds max. e.g Much easier than removing the front driver or passenger roof panels from a regular hard top. I don't love the look of the doors off/windows out /rear window in with Sky One Touch .... but they did a nice job with the simplicity of side windows.

Super easy and fast! Two handles turn 90 degrees on each.

The one touch roof is great. I wasn’t looking for one but found a JL with all the other options I wanted. It’s really convenient. And the kids love it!

The roof opens and closes in a matter of second and it can be as you drive, priceless!!!
The two back side panels can be removed in just second as well. Very easy and a great compromise between full hrs too and soft top!

Here you go.

So torn with this. Love the simplicity but hate the way the framing is when everything’s off and open.

Visually speaking I tend to agree, especially with the doors off.

But you have to admit once those side windows are out, they make a weapon that "Odd Job" would love:

@BearJewJonny I think it just comes down to how often and whether you will be taking the roof and doors off. I love the way the normal Jeep looks with everything removed, but practically speaking I just didn't think I would be doing it that frequently, so the convenience of being able to open the one-touch is really awesome. I use it all the time here in SoCal and not having to worry about removing panels, storing them, etc. is a huge plus. Having said that, if you have a convenient way of removing and storing the top, then maybe you don't need or want the one-touch. Good luck!

IMHO, there is a vehicle in desperate need of half doors.

Sky one is sure tempting though...

Yeah, that looks hideous.

BUTTTTTT the functionality on the other hand sounds awesome! I don't really take my doors off, and I have other Jeeps in which I do.... so it's tempting for me. I think if I found one on the lot with everything else, I'd take either option -- body hard top (colored w/ fenders body color) or the sky top w/ body color fenders.

So I had zero interest in the one touch. Due to the price I didn’t want to think about it.

Over the holidays I’m back at my home town Jeep dealer while visiting family and my perfect JL is on their lot. Every option I want plus “One Touch”.

The Jeep is getting delivered next week, so I don’t have experience with the top yet. But I’m looking forward to convenience and instant fun factor for my wife and me.

Inspected mind today for a pick up tomorrow. Loved the roof. Wish it was warmer. Makes the Jeep.

My family stole the Sky One Touch Wrangler from me.... disappeared 150 miles away to my daughter's college .... so I declared a Jeep emergency a bought a second one. Stayed traditional this time with hard/soft combo. Love having both. Simplicity of Sky One Touch is great for a daily driver and in Midwest weather that isn't very consistent.
