    I now own a 1999 Jeep Wrangler that given as a gift. Repair in general is not that hard. I installed a new soft top and messed up the rear window zipper. There are two zippers how in the world do you start them. It looks like both zippers are to be connected together on left side. Should the zippers be on the window or top? My real problem is how to start the zippers!

    Thanks for the greeting

    2.5” lift 32x11.50x15,cold air intake, Smittybuilt stainless steel Bumpers, rough county pocket flares,Rugged ridge seat covers and floor mats. Conversion LED headlights 20’ LED Light bar hardtop,soft top,bikini top.
    If I’m following you correctly the zipper is on the top and the window inserts in the top and should zip from left to right that is the way mine is on my 98 wrangler. You may have to work with it a little bit to get it started works better in warm temperature than it does in cooler temperature

    Can you post some pics so we can help figure it out?
    A hair dryer might help...use it gingerly...

    Thanks, just received new top. I am new at this but I think I will be O.K. I replaced my upper door skins with ease. I used a old paint roller extension handle (wood) to move the last corner on the frame. Worked great!!!
