well what i do is i roll them up and i put them in the trunk and fold the top onto them. so you can't see them at all.
gti2jeep i am assuming you had a vw gti before your jeep. same with me. i had an 02 gti 1.8t.

well besides the fact of them getting stolen. is there any physical damage that might happen cause they are rolled up. i cleaned them up before rolling and also roll it so that inside part of the window never touches the outside. will anything happen from the outside heat and that face that its in a rolled postion

Pull the carpet and leave the windows at home. Unless you roll them up in a window roll, they will scratch. My rear window looks awful because it's been rolled up so frequently.
The cool thing about no carpet is that you don't need to worry about rain. Just put the top up, roll the seats forward and remove the drain plugs.
If I'm going to park at work, I always put the top up while there to protect the interior from sun, unexpected rain, automatic sprinklers, bird doody, etc. Leaving the widnows at home rather than in the trunk is not a big deal. You can drive with the top up and windows removed if you need to for some reason.

Yea, that can also happen on the trail so it's best just to not leave the mall.
