How much did they end up costing you?

I found these on ebay for $99 + shipping, just haven't gotten around to ordering a set yet.

Joel, those are the canvas/window replacement only. No frame comes with those.
Good find as i have 4 sets of frames (pass and driver) and some could use new window or zipper. This could be a cheap solution. Than i will have 5 complete sets of uppers...woo hoo 8)

I think it was around three hundred , our dollar was weak at the time , they should be a bunch cheaper now.

These ones came with frames and fit very well , I've been using them all winter , except when offroading , I've got bush doors for that .

Ordered a set off ebay,  arrived a couple day's ago, cost me about $125 total:

Soft windows that have seen better days:

I took the hair dryer to stretch them out as the fit was pretty tight getting them to slide over the window frame.   These fit the jeep very well, as the weather stripping are thicker then OEM.
