Side Windows in Jeep Wangler
Hi, I'm very new to Jeeps but I want to own one, I have a few questions
though. I was at the Jeep wrangler website and saw that some of the models had cloth for the side window and frame, can these cloth sides be folded down? Can the models with the metal frame and glass window sides also be folded down? Do any of the Jeeps models come with automatic gear shift? Or are they all manual? Is it easy to put the front window down? what speeds can you safely drive with the front window down? |
Re: Side Windows in Jeep Wangler
The different doors you saw are the half doors and the full doors. The full
doors work just like any door, you roll the window down. The half doors are just that, half of the door without the window. they come with "cloth" windows that you can unzip and fold down. Wranglers do come in automatic. Im not sure if its easy to put down the windshield because I never have but im sure its quite easy. I never really had the urge to put down the windshield because once you start going pretty much any real speed, the wind gets unbearable (or so i hear). I dont know of really anyone who puts theirs down at all, and i know a lot of jeepers.

Re: Side Windows in Jeep Wangler
You may look around the soft top manufacture for TJs at:
http://www.bestop.com/ Their tops don't fold down like an American convertible, rather take it apart in sections so as we may just remove the doors and side curtains and retain the top to protect us from the sun. If your good you may fold it all up and put it under the rear seat. The hardtop is one piece fiberglass, and removed as a unit, some make a hoist for it: http://www.stu-offroad.com/misc/hardtopstorage.htm I drive with my Civilian Jeep's windshield down along our California coast highway, where the speed limit is twenty five. Any speed faster is very uncomfortable, many times worst than a motorcycle. Of course it's always down for off road.

Re: Side Windows in Jeep Wangler
Tony,
There are two ways to have a top on a Wrangler (we use TJ to refer to these models), you can have a hard top and you can have a soft top, OR you can have both - this is the Dual Top option. If you get the hard top, you will get Full Doors, if you get the soft top you can get either Full Doors of Half Doors. With the Dual Top, you will get the Full Doors. My personal preference is for the Full Doors, ONLY because the zipper windows that come with the Half Doors are a pain in the ass at the drive-up window. Also, if you get full doors, then you can get half doors later from a variety of aftermarket sources, but if you get half doors from the factory, finding full doors later is very difficult. Since the doors can be taken off for Summer, and for offroad driving, then it is also true that you can swap them around for different needs. The Hard Top can be removed easily. There are a couple of bolts along each side, and maybe a connector or two for lights, and then two guys can simply lift the top off and set it on the ground. The Soft Top has windows that are held in by zippers. You can remove them and then fold the top down into the space behind the back seat and the tailgate. The hard top is molded fiberglass, actually it is different material, but this works for this explanation, and the windows are glass. The rear window opens upward and the tailgate can be opened to get into the back. The spare tire is on a swing-away carrier that must be opened first. The soft top gets windows that are zippered in place. The rear window can be unzipped and rolled up and is held out of the way by a pair of elastic straps. The side windows can be carefully rolled into a tube and stored in the space behind the seat before the rest of the top is lowered. The soft top has a metal frame.
