EASY Rear Window Storage

[Bigfoot Runner]

I’ve been driving with my rear windows off for ease of folding my top down for 14 of 17 days since delivery.
On my first drive, I thought they were about to take flight and end up on the interstate behind me.
I knew that I didn’t want to store them permanently in the garage, so I ordered a small cargo net. At first, I secured them flat DOWN in the back. Then I realized that I couldn’t put anything else back there without scratching them up. Turns out they can be stored vertically against the back of the rear seats!
Check it out and let me know what you think.

Great idea. I wonder how they’ll do over time since they aren’t laying flat? Genuinely curious; I’ve never owned a soft top so I wonder if the edges curling like that will make the wrinkly windows worse over time?

The side windows are riding perfectly flat against the back seat.
What you see curling around at the sides are the hard, molded plastic corners of the rear window that remain curled wherever you put them. So far, it seems that it’s this rigid curled plastic structure that actually gives some stability to the other windows behind it (up against The back seat). It may be what’s keeping them from sagging.
This setup will likely be replaced by a similar (superior commercial) idea. For now… this is working great!

Oh clever. Does the net scratch the plastic windows at all?

Not yet, although I’m sure if dirt got in there it could. I’m planning to overlap the windows with a cloth to prevent any chance of that. Probably more likely to scratch each other if the plastic is dirty.

I’ll probably get that for better window protection and still put it behind the net.

The cargo net idea also works perfectly with the rear window corners wrapped around the sides of the back seat.

That’s exactly how I have mine right now!
In the meanwhile, I’ve also built a storage area which flattens out the rear to match the height of the folded down seats. This is now where I put my side windows. It keeps them flat and extra protected from junk being tossed in the back.

There's a gap between the Ford cargo locker and the seats. Wonder if the windows will fit in there.
