I took my soft top all the way down for the first time. Now I can't get only get the side windows to seal in the front or the back. Any suggestions?

It's happening on both sides, which makes me think that it may be that the rear window isn't in place all the way. When I look at it on the inside, it does seem like the rear window is all the way in. I would appreciate any suggestion. I have a two hour drive tomorrow and would love to not have the windows flapping in the wind! Thanks.

Put the top up, leave the windows in the sun - the heat will make everything a lot easier.

The front of the window have to slide into track while your sliding the windows rearward. Then the rear vertical kind of flips in and rub your hand along it to seat.

Yeah, I watched the red bronco guy video a couple of times. I guess I'll just pull it all out tomorrow and try putting it back.

It doesn't look like the back window is in correctly. There is tab at the top of the back window and an arrow on the top frame showing where the tab goes. However, the tab actually goes in a slot in front of the arrow.

Ok great, I think you must be right. That’s the only thing that makes sense since it’s happening and n both sides.

You also don't have this section aligned in the track, which can also create problems.

For sure the corner piece is not in the slot properly In the photo. The top has to be in the hole before you pop the bottom part in. It’s a PITA for the first few times.

One other note, the first few times...and especially the first time....the side windows were super difficult to get back in place. I began to panic that I would have to take them back to the dealer for help....but after say 2 times, they seemed to stretch/loosen up a bit and it in now pretty easy to get them in. My advice...slide the window in and latch the forward section first...on the rear section, start at the bottom....try and pull and line it up with channel and just push hard. Once you get a bit of the bottom section in, just kinda knead it up the line. I'm sure I'm describing it terribly, but it has worked the best for me. Good luck!
