Andy 07-26-2004 08:04 PM

When my windows are out & top up, the back portion of the top lifts off...
 
and it is a royal pain. Now that hot weather has arrived I like to keep the
top up for shade and windows out for ventilation. But, the rear portion of
my top - drivers side - slides off the rail due to ?? wind. I seem to
remember this discussion before.

Has anybody found a fix short of getting a jamboree top or bikini (which I
have).

Thanks,

Andy

Your top must be awful loose.

It's not and the top is in good shape. Has done it since I can remember.
But I thought there was a thread about this problem awhile back.

The bows should keep the top tight. There should not be enough play for
the rear sections to 'slide off due to wind'. You might check the
condition of the plastic parts of the bows. If these are worn, your top
will be loose. You can get aluminum replacements.

Re: When my windows are out & top up, the back portion of the top liftsoff...
 
You have to 'Really' watch out for those!!!

Same for running with the back windows out.

If you roll up the door windows, you 'Will' get carbon monoxide
poisoned!

That just happened in a friend's TJ. His GF warned me he always falls
asleep when driving. We went on a trip and sure enough, less than one
hour and he is nodding off. I drove and I started not being able to
keep my eyes open, then realized what that heavy feeling in my forehead
was. CO gas.

I got all the windows open and the fan on and then was ok. My friend
then woke right up too.

He just told me yesterday that the same thing happened when he tried to
run with the windows only a quarter down because it was cold and he
forgot the windows.

It amases me how many people I've seen driving around
with the back window rolled up, yet the rest of
the windows are closed. Isn't there any mention of that problem in
the owners manual?

Re: When my windows are out & top up, the back portion of the toplifts-CO WARNING!
 
There 'should' be.

Like the old station wagons even had stickers on the tailgate warning
not to drive with the window open.

I got sort of caught too. I was thinking the TJ one might be different
than my CJ one because the side windows come out too so there would be
air flow.

I was wrong, it still fills the cab up with CO fast and deadly.

Re: When my windows are out & top up, the back portion of the toplifts-CO WARNING!
 
There 'should' be.

Like the old station wagons even had stickers on the tailgate warning
not to drive with the window open.

I got sort of caught too. I was thinking the TJ one might be different
than my CJ one because the side windows come out too so there would be
air flow.

I was wrong, it still fills the cab up with CO fast and deadly.

Re: When my windows are out & top up, the back portion of the toplifts- CO WARNING!
 
Mike,

You are correct. One should not keep the hard door windows closed with the
rear window out. If I have the windows out I mean the quarter and rear and
my door windows are down/open. My issue is the rear portion of the top
comes off the rail sometimes. I looked at everything and it is all tight.
I just thought there was some talk about this problem some time ago. I know
the guy that owns Clover Patch (Window Roll guy) - we wheel sometimes so
I'll ask him if he heard of this. Maybe he can help. I'd like to take the
top back there off the rail and I would have a jamboree top.
