Since the Skytouch comes with the hard top surrounds/windows, is there any wind buffeting with the top open and the tailgate windowed closed at highway speeds. To my knowledge the rear window cannot be opened or removed.

Pretty sure the back window opens.

I'm not sure about the speed. I have driven with the back open on mine at highway speeds though. Found the pic online, No disrespect for not giving credit to owner

We have the Sky One-Touch on our JLU Sahara.

In the fully retracted position with all windows closed, I have not had buffeting up to 60-65mph. It's new so I haven't tested it much beyond that, but so far extremely quiet.

We have had our Sky One Touch for a year now. Top open, windows up or down, we haven't noticed any buffeting. I did add the Spiderweb Shade and that definitely made having the top open more enjoyable on the hot sunny days during the summer.

Just a crazy question..... let’s say you are a dealer.... sales manager at that..... why would you place a Jeep on your showroom floor with the back windows out in that configuration and not have the top open?

oh wait.... possibly a customer has not yet came into the showroom and explained to them that the top opened.

I visited a dealer in early 2019 and the sales guy did not know that Wrangler had the ability for proximity door looks or even what they did.

when I showed the guy it was like...... what just happened. MAGIC!!!!!!

I have also in countered salesman that do not have a clue about the vehicle they are selling. One time a salesman told me he has the same vehicle and how great it was but could not figure out how to open the trunk ?
