I've never tried to lower the top without removing the side windows,,, you can roll the rear window up (no need for complete removal). I would recommend that you bite the bullet and get a new top (I will be in the next week *tax return*!). It has gotten past the point of me…
Read the full replyIs it possible to lower the soft top without removing any of the windows and without doing any serious damage to the frame?
I have a 97 Wrangler with a pretty beat up soft top. It has tears, cracks, the windows are beat up, scratched, the zippers are so bad it takes an hour to get the windows on. I don't care about scratches, etc.... I just want to avoid removing any windows but still put the top down. New Jeep owner here :-)
THANKS

I own a CJ7 and it's windows are all attached. I flip the back window up over the top or I roll it. I then flip the side windows up over the top, then fold the top back and the whole works folds up really nice behind the back seat.
