Wavy Soft Top Windows

Joneshannsen

Jun 17, 2022

Hi all! My BD just got delivered yesterday and has been sitting on dirt mountain since Jan. 22nd. I know that the soft top windows do have some waviness to them; however, how wavy is TOO WAVY? I want to make sure everything that may have been damaged/affected by sun and ice exposure are taken care of. Have a look at my picture and let me know your opinion... should I demand new windows or are mine pretty standard?

Thanks all!

Looks like the typical FMC windows.
If a few weeks or months on sitting at dirt mountain made them worse then FMC has really got big issues with them actually being used then

That's standard, and they wouldn't be any different than if it was sitting in your driveway. The sun is the sun, and the UV damage in Michigan isn't going to be any different than IL.

...maybe for the few days you run trails (I realize you live there, but most people don't), but they aren't made out of shrinky-dink material...I hope.

Yes, waves can be expected with the soft tops.
Heat & Cool temperatures will “Always “ be affecting the surface area of the plastic
“expanding & contracting “
Viewing your photo,…
There should not be a gap where the Top & Window meet. That should not be happening in my opinion.

If they were, maybe it would tighten up a little and straighten out the window.

I was definitely going to address that if it still looked like that after the dealer prep was done. Thanks!

Definitely address it !
That is not proper fitment .
Very possibly creating a bit more curtain rolls.

Agree with what others are saying. I’d check to make sure the fitment is correct and that the Velcro is where it should be. This is what mine looked like at pick up. Don’t expect it to be flat for sure

Looks pretty consistent with the way the soft top 'wavyness' appears on mine.

The dealer called and said the check engine light came on when they were doing the prep for delivery. Then confirmed. BULL$H!T

Is it a 2.3l that has been an issue. But it is a fairly simple fix.
Hope they get you back up and running soon.

It is the 2.3... but now I'm hearing they're on backorder like everything else in this world. My dealership has been stellar up to this point so hoping they come through for me.
