I have a window bag. Throw the window in the bag then toss the bag in the bed along with the side pieces.

I keep my rear window in an (underbed storage tote) I fold the window in half with a rolled up towel in between it to keep from folding a tight seam. That rides in the bed under the bed cover.

Hardtop all winter. Rarely pull the freedom panels as as soon as spring hits I put the soft top on.

I wouldn’t switch to a sun rider as without doors in the summer as I leave the rear window out on the highway and keep the top down often when it’s wicked hot. Huge airflow way less drag at speed. Consider it like a safari top to keep sunburns away. And you can keep up up with I-95 traffic without worrying.

If you want to fold the soft top back without pulling the rear window, it takes as long as the Sun rider.

I would do a Sun rider over full soft top if I didn’t plan on removing doors ever and just wanted mild breeze.

Just my opinion however.

I'd be interested in seeing/hearing how you did this.
The back window pieces I roll up and stow under the bigger rear seat. I was worried rolling it would damage it or show marks, but I've had no visible issues the last year or so, and over last winter specifically.

And the corner pieces I put under the front seats. They are basically concealed to the point they don't take up foot space. It works best in my experience to put the passenger side piece under the driver seat, and vice versa.

I recalled seeing this thread surface the other day. So, I thought I'd share a Sunrider installation video I had worked on to give a bit of 3 dimensional perspective of installation and use of a Sunrider.

Enjoy!
