All, how do you store your soft top windows when they are off? Are they easily scratched? Wondering if I need to invest in a bag or just use some towels. Thanks.

Are they easily scratched?
Yes, very easily scratched. I literally scratched mine all up on a landscaping plant that overgrew my garage entrance when I first brought it home. It broke my heart for a few days until I took it out wheeling and got a pinstripe on it.

You can polish the windows the same way you polish paint and get them clear again. Place them on a table on top of a bath towel, and use a machine. step up cut then polish.

I usually lay them in the trunk, seperated by a beach towel. Makes the trunk useless of course, but that's generally what I do.

The mopar bag is way overpriced, there are some decent ones on amazon.

I tried the bag, and it was too bulky for me.
But I also couldn't figure out what to do with them the first time(s) I removed them, and put them on my back seat passengers' laps! :LOL:
I, unlike most normal people, am not too concerned about the small scratches, either. I had a convertible with windows so scratched they had a clarity level akin to those plastic strips which act as doors for walk-in freezers, and I'm not eager for it, but I'll be okay if the same happens to the Jeep

The windows do get more flexible with time, and, of course, they are much easier to remove, replace, store, and bend/fold/roll when the weather is hot

I grabbed a $35 bag off Amazon which worked great....for 30 second. As soon as I went to tighten the straps the plastic buckle snapped. The bag still works great, now I just tie the straps around the headrests.

Just picked up my Jeep. 2024 Willys 4xe soft top. To my surprise it came with a bag for the windows!
I picked up my 2024 Willys in Feb. 2024. It had a soft top packaged up in boxes in the back. Within the boxes was a bag for the top panels to store when removed, but, no windows bag.

Mine just hang in the garage and I never take them with me. Plastic clamps attached to a clothes hanger and clamped to the fabric.

Mine go in a knock-off bag from Amazon. It has panels that separate the plastic windows to minimize scratches but I figure scratches are inevitable with any plastic window.

The bag lives in the garage sitting on top of the bag that stores the rear seat. :)
