Some things to note:

This is the first time I believe we have seen the windshield tie down strap and how it works.

Also, the windshield nozzles were built into the windshield hood-bumper/footman loop.

Man, i LOVE that folding windshield! The soft top is great, too!

I'm also liking the Sport. Nice looking Jeep, and the fender inserts wouldn't bother me a bit. They are almost invisible, the way they are designed.

I can't believe it's held down by velcro.
My worst fear is that windshield flying back up and shattering all over your face.

Finally get to see those elusive windshield straps! I can def see more people dropping the windshield now that it is much much much easier to do so.

Did he put the wipers in the convenient "wiper holder cutouts" next to the ones in the back of the rig for the bolts (NOT)? ;)

I still think they should have done a real power top like the Land Rover Evoque convertible.

Also Jeep could have engineered the wipers so they didn't need to be removed to put the windshield down.

Wow! That is an awesome improvement for both the top and the windshield.
Love it.

The aftermarket will make something better.

I wonder if those hooks are made out of plastic or metal. If they are metal, I'd be worried about them scratching and marring the paint on the windshield frame.

It seems to me that when the top is down, it doesn't exactly lay flat. Looks like it is going to make the view out the rear view mirror a little obstructed.

I thought so too, but then I remembered doing some tests with my soft top and realizing that as long as it stays below the top of my spare it's not really in the way.
