The factory Jeep soft top rear window straps wear out over time. This is just a fact of life for soft top sporting Jeep owners. The elastic stretches and begins to hang under the weight of the rolled up rear window. This poses a dangerous situation because it limits the visibility via the rear view mirror. Plus, it looks terrible. As a quick fix I’d twist and double up the elastic. But, this temporary solution is difficult to work with.
The American Outlaw Rear Window Straps install in seconds and keep the window rolled up tight and secure. The hook and loop retention and snap/buckle design is far superior to the OEM setup. This should come with every Jeep’s soft top. The before and after photos are dramatically different. This was $15 well spent.
