Flying Soft Top Window at 70MPH

[Windshieldfarmer]

I hope you are kidding about this. I own a Jeep, I bought it for the open air experience.

Maybe I've been lucky, but I run 75, top back, windows down.

You can see the side windows poofing in and out.

I went back and checked the owner’s manual - there was a 40mph limit with the JK but no limit is suggested for the Jl. I knew I read that somewhere…it was for my 2015!JK. That said I will still likely avoid high speeds with the sun rider open and rear windows installed. I doubt jeep will honor a warranty claim for a blown out window.

These threads always make me glad I have the aftermarket bestop option, seems to be hardier than the one they made for Jeep OEM. Granted one of my windows did blow out halfway going 70 but I’m 99% certain that was user error, I put them back on in a hurry with little sleep the night before.

After seeing your comment I pulled up the installation manual for the “Bestop Supertop Ultra” at Quadratec
“Bestop Supertop Ultra” at Quadratec. Shown on page 11 on the “Installation Instructions - Part 2” I see they have a strap with a
snap attached to the bottom part of the plastic pillar to keep it secure to the side of the Jeep.

Also, they show a pin on the quarter panel that is not on my mopar top. Is that for alignment? Should bought a Bestop

funnily enough that strap uses a screw to attach to the pillar and it’s pulled through.

the grommet does help locate the pillar when putting it on and I suppose help secure it. The Velcro on the side windows is just really beefy and kept it attached
