Help-Velcro Question
Zipper shot on the rear "curtain" ('97 TJ), estimated repair was $200-$300
to replace. Wondered if anybody has replaced with Velcro? Am thinking of
using !/2" strips on each side of top and 1" on the curtain itself after
removing the zippers "teeth". Any suggestions appreciated.

Re: Help-Velcro Question
Should work. I have a rock gear top and the back window is held on using two straps
at the top and velcro. (my top zipper doesnt work). use the 1/2 "teeth" on the
sides, and use the 1" fuzzy on the curtain sides would be my suggestion. for the top
of the curtain I would use 2" or larger velcro (good sewing stores will have it or
can order it). Also, after you sew it on, use some seam sealer or other water
proofing over the stitch lines. Do not use the sticky back kind of velcro. not only
wont it hold, but you cant sew it, it jams the machine. be sure to sew along the
edges and once thru the middle of each piece. good luck.

If it's just a zipper, any canvas shop should be able to replace
it for around 20 - 40 dollars, heck, you can go to acmejeepparts.com
and replace the whole zip-in window for a lot less than 300.00
