Re: Hard top window update
 

Greg,

Though the rope is _the_ flawless approach on your flat windows, and
I'm sure you won't have trouble with any "sealed" Jeep window, you can
always pick up a handful of window installation "wedges" at any body
shop supply -- pliable plastic, about 6"x1/2"x3/16", and tapered at the
ends -- they help do the trick for stubborn jobs and are far less
risky.
