Soft Top Winter Storage

[Marc L]

Hey everyone,
I'm going to be removing my soft top and put the hardtop on for the winter.
Any cool ideas how to store it? It's new to the jeep this year and I want to try to keep it nice.
Go.....

Remove windows from top and roll them up to keep from getting creases in them. Then fold top.

This may sound dumb, Do you take the tubing off then?

I take mine with hard ware fold it up and put it over a shelf in the garage and the windows get rolled up and put on some shelf brackets I put rags on to keep from scratching it up

Door surrounds and hardware go into a box on the shelf, windows roll up in an old sheet folded over each one and are stored in a cardboard tube made for pouring concrete pillars. Top folds flat, wrap fabric around bows and wrap with stretch wrap to keep out dirt for the winter. Takes a while, but I usually reserve an afternoon when I don't have anything else going on.

Nope, just leave everything put together, and folded flat, as much as possible. It would be a royal pain in the butt to take that apart each time, IMO. I don't have a shelf big enough in my workshop for storing that flat, so I hang it over a table saw that I don't use much, but I have also bungie corded the bows to a rafter.

I separate the soft top from the rails. The rails go in the shed and the soft tops under our bed - LJ on my side, TJ on my wife's side.

I take the windows (side and rear) out and hang them flat against the wall. I fold the top and hang it from two large wall hooks like you would use for a ladder. I have a link to both ideas on my other PC. Something like this

I usually leave cover on tubing and cover with a soft top cover. I use to store windows rolled up all winter but last year made a shelf in basement ceiling rafters to store them flat inside a smittybilt roll cover. Then I just stand up soft top in basement leaning on the covers tubes.

I came across these while at Home Depot, which worked perfectly for storing my soft top in the garage for the winter:

Then I'll probably just put the windows under my bed with soft blankets or sheets between them.
