FYI, I took mine through a contact carwash and it didn't leak at all or scratch the windows. The blowers rattled the frame so bad I thought it was going to come apart. Of course YMMV so proceed at your own risk.
Someone had to be the guinea pig!

I went with BJD rather than the less expensive Amazon option. Liked the idea of backing an American made company. I had a few emails with them for assurance that the bag would work with the 2 door Trektop side windows and for rough dimensions, so it was nice to get quick answers whereas you might not get that from Amazon supplier. And I saw some negative reviews about broken or poorly functioning items on the overseas made Amazon bags.
How have the window bags worked for ya so far?

It is very nice and I'm very happy with it. I don't have any experience with the less expensive bags or any other window bags in fact (never bought one for my Wrangler windows), so I can't compare it to anything.

Bookmarking this. Ordered the top Monday. Shout out to FRANK @Stage 3 Motorsports Not only did he give me a GREAT forum discount, it shipped out the same day and will be here Friday. Working on a semi-permanent hardtop storage solution now in the garage.

Got it installed last night. Almost every piece of weatherstripping was a huge pain to get the paper backing off without destroying it. Has to use a heat gun to heat the paper backing.

Straight forward install. If you are trying to install inside your garage / shop:

TIP watch the video, you’ll need a good bit of clearance to install.

sit the side windows out in sun when you start unboxing. Those were the only gripe. But tight fit is good.

I think it was just a shitty batch of adhesive backing. I've seen it happen with that type of product before - it happens.

Otherwise - hands down this is the best mod to our 2dr so far. Just went for a ride - top is easy to put down. I'm going to park it in the sun all day today - it'll help loosen those 1/4 windows before I take 'em off.

The window not folding all the way back doesn't bother me at all. It looks better in person than it does in pics. The bonus is how the think looks with the down.

And it seems to be less turbulent with the soft top down, even with windows on, than it was with just the front two tops removed.

Need a solution for on vehicle window storage. We have a 2dr and we've kept the rear seats down folded since pretty much day one. Think I'm going to remove them a build a platform and have it hinged where I can store the windows laid flat out underneath the shelf. Really don't want to hang anything from the back of the front seats. And it appears the one bag made for Broncos would cause more issues with our setup than it would solve.

You can still get the bag (mentioned on page 5) and not hang it from the seats.

However, the bag does work with the seats folded:

Thanks for the heads up. That's the BJD bag right? Just signed up to be notified when they are back in stock.

Saw my first other 2 door Sunday. Had the Bestop on a black one. Looks way better in person than it does in pictures. Always thought it was a hard no for me until I saw it, now, not so much...

Yes, the BJD Bronco bag. Took 3 weeks to get after I ordered.
