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.
