Soft top rear window question-

After 1 month of ownership I just noticed that the rear plastic window half-zips down on my cab- am I suppose to be unzipping (the window that is) before lowering the top?

What the purpose of the feature?

Thanks for your help!

I believe it is better for the longevity of your top and window to release the top a bit before zipping or unzipping the window.

Always unzip. After i release the tension from the latches unzip and before I latch the top re-zip. This will prolong the life of the window and help prevent creases. Never in the cold. I read somewhere that the additional benefit is ventilation when the sun is beating down on you you could run with the door windows down and the back window open.
