Does it "hurt" the windows on the soft top if decals are applied to their surface? Is there a certain kind of sticker to use or is it a worthless idea? And how do I go about washing the top and windows? Thanks for any imput!

Oh, Mike...I guess the first sticker you should stick on those soft windows should say "Jeep Recovery Vehicle." Glad to finally see you on the board, man.

Thanks Jach, I'll make sure that is my first sticker. I guess I try to find a static kling decal if no one has any other suggestions? I couldn't find anything on d-90.com.

Jach? come on now, Mike...do you know who this is? FWIW, stick it on the paint. It adds character.

Of course I know who you are Zach. You are an official RKORES instructor (note: not an Istructor like Drew). As for the paint, I may give that a try.

Well i know one thing. Personally i wouldn't put them on my paint. I would really like to know if it will do anything to my soft top. Its a best top. Any info would be great. Thanks

The only problem that putting stickers on paint brings is when you try to take them off...personally, I don't plan to peel them off anytime soon. If you do, however, stick them on your bumper or something. I have no idea if they will stay on soft-top windows--I would imagine that they would...the only problem I can see is if you folded the window...who knows. Maybe call the Best Top dealer and ask--they could give you an answer. Make sure to post back and let Mike know, too.

Best-
Zach

I emailed bestop and the lady emailed me back and told me that the stickers will come off but the glue will stay on and destroy the window. By that I don't know what she means but i will email her back and get a more detailed explanation.

The lady from bestop emailed me again and told me that the glue will the dissolve into to the window and create a permanent stain. I guess its up to you now to decide wheather you can live with stained windows or not.

Thanks for the info Zach and Jason. Sorry I have been off the post for a while, but school and everything has been getting hectic. Zach, what are you doing this summer?
