Back window

Any chance of damaging the back window in the up position while running a killertoytop? My concern is the lack of structural support and normal road vibration.

That would be why there are fail safes in place, so you can only operate your window with a hard top bolted down properly. Otherwise, like you said, there's no structural support around the top and sides.

That is what I was thinking. I'll get the back window attachment and save the back glass for the hard top days.

while I agree that there is a chance to damage the window, KTT is a pretty reputable company with more than a few satisfied customers. I think if the design was that bad, they wouldn't run it.

Yes they are a great company, and I already have the soft top. It is a great top, but I'm still concerned about the vibration over the long term. I called them and a vinyl window is on the way.
Thank you.
