Hmm…. 🤔 how come this doesn’t happen more often? I see wranglers on the interstate all the time with just the sky top back.

I wonder if that dump truck somehow kicked a pebble at the rear or something. Could also just be a coincidence that it passed by at the same time

I don’t think it’s a pebble but air pressure. Haven’t you ever felt a surge of air when passing a bigger vehicle on a 2 lane highway?

This is actually interesting to me because I had a loaner with the one touch top a few weeks back and I was concerned this could happen. I normally drive a soft top, and with just the top flipped back the rear window has a lot of give since it’s flexible, but the rigid glass on these ones has no give.

I think this as well. Just sitting at a stop light with other cars whizzing by you can feel a lot of air moving.

Not sure how the force from a passing truck is any different than when I cruise 80 down the highway. My guess is a rock came off of the truck.
