thats what i use them for too.
i use a special window roll bag for the windows.

the straps have clips which clip to the roof above the rear window, you just need to zip the sides up and roll it up, then it tucks in nicely when the roof comes down

You're talking about the flat elastic loop ones with press studs?

And I didn't know about the velcro ones.. I was using them to stop the rear seatbelts from flappin around!

The Jeep site videos actually have 2 people doing the tops, they frame so you rarely see the other persons hands. Also the book mentions it is a two person job.

No where as easy as when I had a Mini Moke. Have fun, Dave.
