2 Door Window Storage Technique

[JimmyZ]

So took delivery today of my new 2 Door Rubicon. I ordered the factory window storage bag. I was really disappointed when my sales rep advised the bag will not fit behind the rear seat. I tried to read the forums here for suggestions, but it seems like most conversations are about four door JLUs. What are you guys with 2 doors doing for window storage that does not sacrifice the back seat? I have a 5 year old and I have his car seat in the back and it's not really an option to have the bag in the back seat area. Feel like jeep should have done a better job with the factory bag and storage. However, I'm certain you guys have a viable solution. Pictures and/or videos would be wonderful! Thanks in advance for your replies!

The window bag can absolutely sit behind the back seat....I have done this myself multiple times. The Sales Rep is a Tard!

I tried to get it back there and didn't have luck the first time. Is there a technique on how to store the windows in the bag prior to attempting? Also did you have to tilt the back seat or anything prior to do this? Thanks man!!! If you have any photos it'd be greatly appreciated! I'm like a elementary school kid... I learn best with colors and pictures

the bag is wider than the cargo area, so the sides have to kind of curve into the wall, if that makes any sense.

This is a 4 door, but shows the idea. I assume the 2 door is similar.

Ok... Does this cause any damages to the windows?

Ok that helps... I'd assume the right side there where it curves is the hard plastic corners. I'll be giving it a whirl after I have some coffee and wipe the crust outta my eyes

see the image I posted in response. don’t just jam them in there, but no there’s no damage. Just make sure they’re clear of the bulge in the swing gate when it closes. I’ve been storing my windows like that since I’ve had my Jeep with no issues.

You're the man!!! I'll update you with my success in a bit

I never got mine to fit & have the top down too. I leave them home in the garage.

@OldGuyNewJeep does a good job of explaining how to fit the bag in a 2 door here:

I used his technique and it worked very well for me!

Do you put the hard plastic corners on the same side of the bag or one on each side?

One each side and just fold the plastic corners in and things should fit. It puts what feels like a serious fold in the window, but upon taking it out and installing them back and sitting in the sun for 5 minutes it looks fresh again.

If you absolutely must have the windows with you, then yeah, you can squeeze them back there, but you stay remarkably dry with the top alone if you get caught in the rain (and like pina colada?).

Like JeepDave said, my windows stay in the garage when I take them off. It's way too much hassle trying to contort them into fitting behind the seats, IMO. Plus, you lose the little bit of cargo space you do have. I've had the windows off in light rain while parked and heavy rain while driving, it was really no big deal. The top edges of the carpet sides in the back got a little damp.
