Windshield Strap

Can anyone explain to me why the windshield strap Windshield Strap Green CJ5, CJ6 has two holes to clip under the turnbuckle.

 

Looks like it's to hold it in place. There are some photos on that link. You have to scroll the photo box over to see them:

Huh. I've been using a military variant, has an adjustable "postman" slide buckle.

 

3rd picture answers a question ive had...what in the heck is the footman loop to the left of stap for?...nows I knows

 

I've looked at the pics and still not sure why has to have the loop. One thought is by folding the 'tail' in first like in the pic, it will not flap in the wind. But I never remember to do the flap first and it has not been an issue.

Lately, I've been driving with the windshield down and really enjoy it. Especially when in the mountains.

 

You can tell a happy Jeeper, because he has bugs in his teeth.

 

I just swallow them. Helps me get my protein for the day. Some are better than others.

 

I leave mine down all the time unless it's raining.

 

One of the very best things about a Jeep!

 

If the Bestop I have was easier to remove/install, I'd try the windshield down more often. I've only driven it once with the windshield down. At the time I had contacts and anything above 15 MPH was painful (from the wind and crud in the air). I'll have to try it again now that my eyes are fixed.

 

Same here- probably original from its army and nat guard days. Try the military parts guys like Midwest Mil in Minnesota

 

I have my Bestop Supertop off 8 months of the year (March to Oct) Taking off the top takes me 10 minutes, but putting back on is 30, haha! But definitely worth taking the top off and driving with the windshield down. I only drive 20 mph tops, as you stated, lots of flying critters to whack you. I just love the smiles you get, and so many conversations whenever you are stopped. And of course there’s the National Go Topless Day every year
