Are those snaps I see????
Where are you seeing snaps? The OEM design (which Bestop manufactures) doesn't use them, so far as I've observed with the soft top on my JLU.

If you go to page#1 of this thread showing the best top advertisement replacement panels. Look to the very left side of each panel and you will see what appear to be dots or as I interpret them to be..snaps.

No, those are holes to accommodate the fasteners for the upright plastic supports. That portion of the vinyl window is folded over on said supports.

Bestop calls them stiffeners, and confirms they are not provided. Thus the visibility of said holes on the photos, since the vinyl window panels are technically shipped in an unfinished state.

Yep, as @Heimkehr said those are just the holes that the Torx bolts go through to hold it to the C pillar, or "stiffener". Here's a few pics from when I did the MasterTop window swap:

Wow $250 for each side window not including the hard plastic part? It’s a piece of vinyl with some stitching.

I can walk into the dealer and replace my soft top for like $350, yet the two little side windows are $500.

On the BESTOP site they are 109/ea which is about $80 cheaper than ordering the mopar part online. I'd love to know where you can find a brand new complete soft top for $350.

I have the base softtop, I put a hole in it, I went to the dealer to ask about replacing if and they said it was $300 something. I believe it’s just for the fabric, which is kinda like what this is.

At Quadratec (not the cheapest) a single window is 210.10 which is about $100 more than the bestop option but does not include the plastic "stiffener" on the left side of the picture.

By coincidence, I discovered that the Novus polish kit is sold at Home Depot.

Just an FYI.
