I posted in another thread and tagged Benny at AllMoparParts so we'll see what he says.
this is great info. Thank you! I ordered the JK bag so we’ll see how it goes.So I visited my friend and checked his 4door JK Windows.
The thickness for both front and rear appear to be the same for JK and JL, we didn’t measure, we just eyeballed next to each other.
The front window is about the same length but the JL is a few inches shorter in height.
The rear window is also a little shorter, but only an inch or so. The rear window is longer on the JL, but is still shorter than the JK front window so I believe the JK upper window storage bag will work.
I’m going to buy one and see how it works. I don’t know for sure if it’s going to work, but I believe there is a good chance.

FWIW, I Had half doors on my Jk, loved them, just tossed them in the back honestly, used the aircraft windscreen cleaner on them and never had an issue with scratches or fading. Would love to get half doors again but man that window design…So I visited my friend and checked his 4door JK Windows.

From what I've been told, this triangle window design is because with the full window and dash it is hard to unzip and open/fold down the window in drive thrus, etc and that the later years of JKs had this triangle window instead of the whole window.
Let us know what you think.
Awesome! Thanks for putting the effort into this and sharing the results.Good news, they fit! I put every other one in upside down so that they fit better to account for them being thicker at the bottom than the top.
The bag also is kind of stupidly designed in that the fabric that goes between each upper is attached to the top flap, so when you open the bag, the individual fabric dividers are pulled out from the bag, meaning it's tough to get them situated correctly with the fabric in between each upper. So I just wrapped 2 of them in old sheets. I honestly dont see myself removing these from the bag too much. I only wanted the bag so that I only had one thing to throw in the jeep if it looked like it was going to rain instead of 4 things. It's in the garage at night so i run with the uppers off almost 100% of the time.
Thanks for sharing, was looking down this path myself. Good to know it worksAwesome! Thanks for putting the effort into this and sharing the results.
