- 1). Make pillowcase-type sacks out of the felt to store your Jeep windows in when they are not in use. Felt will prevent the windows from being scratched and is easily washed if it happens to get gritty riding around with the top off.
Start by removing your Jeep's windows. Once you have them off, lay your felt out on a large flat space and set your windows on one side of it. Set the windows approximately six inches from the edge of the fabric and eight to 12 inches apart. If you have half-doors with metal framed vinyl windows, set them on the felt so that the metal prongs are facing away from the fabric and towards the opening. - 2). Fold the fabric in half over the windows, covering them completely. Make sure each window has adequate room around it, then cut the fabric separating the windows directly down the middle so that each window is completely surrounded by a rectangular pocket of felt. Remove the windows from the felt.
- 3). Take your needle and thread, or sewing machine, and sew up the two longer sides of the felt. You should have created a window-sized felt pillowcase. You can also place Velcro closures on the open end to keep the windows from accidentally sliding out, though they should not be too mobile.
- 1). Place the Jeep windows in their storage bags to prevent scratching and damage from rubbing.
- 2). Roll the back windows (or any non-metal framed windows) into a long, scroll shape. Tie string around rolled windows to hold them together and keep them from unrolling.
- 3). Place the metal framed windows in the back hatch. It is easiest to slide them in after the door is already closed, but before the top is completely down. They will stick up past the top ever so slightly once it is down, so just make sure they go to the inside of the top against the backseat when you lower the top.
- 4). Take the rolled windows and slide them down into the back hatch beside the metal framed windows. The rolled windows should go on the side away from the seat and facing the hatch door, since they can bend and the others do not. Lower the top and enjoy your Jeep, knowing your windows are secure and will not be damaged while riding.
