SPIDERWEBSHADE Compatible with Jeep Wrangler JLKini Mesh Shade Top Sunshade UV Protection Accessory USA Made for Your JL 2-Door and JLU 4-Door (2018 - Current) in Red

I had a frustrating week last week. After realizing my Bestop soft top was junk, and finally getting an RMA, couldn't quickly at a stoplight open and close the top over the front seats. So I would want SOMETHING for shade when I had the hard top off or the freedom panels. Nobody ever sits in the back seat, there's just my son and I in the front. I shave my head, so sun pounding on me regularly just burns my skull and I don't like peeling up there.So I first tried a full length shade, but learned despite the maker saying that yes, you can still remove and install the freedom panels without removing it, that no, actually, you couldn't. So I returned that, got another that I could install and remove the freedom panels while leaving it there, although it required removing two of the little ball bungee straps for the front hinge. Not a big deal, and I would've been satisfied with that requirement had it actually BLOCKED SUN. It barely had any difference at all.I finally realized I wasn't going to be happy with the cheap alternatives. You want something decent, you gotta pay for it. And I liked how this looked like it sat high in the cage, not so low that it would be constantly scraping my head (I'm over 6 feet tall). The install routine intrigued me, it looked like they had put thought into it. So I ordered it.My biggest problem with the order was a "prime" item that really is NOT a "prime" item. They should change that. Prime means 2 days or less, this took 4.But that being my biggest problem is a good thing.I removed the freedom panels, I removed the four bolts from the windshield but I didn't remove the wipers and didn't lower the window - just lifted it out of my way for the minute it took me on each side. Now, I had expected some flimsy clips from the way I read about some people complaining about clips on other sites, but these are pretty solid and significant things. I have photos of how I placed them, both the first time and the relocation after I wanted the shade to be pulled more. I knew I wanted the outer ones to go "outside" of that farthest bolt, just to keep it tugged in that direction, and as you can see by my photos, it stays in place over there just fine, and even if it wiggles around some now with everything bolted back on, that bolt will keep it from sliding inward.I spent more time trying to find a torx tip to use to remove the screws in the cage than I think I spent installing this. And that's because I hadn't seen the torx they include in the parts bag. Yes, they give you the one tool that's not part of the Jeep kit that you need to install this. Thoughtful of them.I did not have to even loosen the hard top as I did with the other small front shade only product I had purchased. I was able to shove this through and reach up from the rear door area to pull it around the little nub. And those nubs are great - LOVE them, since they make installing this so much easier...I have a bunch of photos I've taken I'll post here, showing how it sits so much higher than the other I had. My head hit that one a lot, I haven't hit this one once despite being over 6' and having the seat cranked up high (I like the visibility when driving).You don't have to unhook anything to put the freedom panels back on or take them off, but you WILL move the shade out of the way for the hinge that you flip. Then it tucks right under the shade again to leave a clean look. The other ones that you pivot to lock in place all were not difficult with the shade in place. It may have added a whole minute to installing or removing the panels. Totally worth it in my opinion. With the panels in place there's a bit of a wrinkle in the fabric where it can't stretch tight as normal, that goes away again when the top comes off and things are positioned for the panels being gone.So this is a great example of why it doesn't pay to cheap out. It's about twice as expensive as what I had tried previously, but it's about 10 times better, so definitely a deal.If you want a shade for the jeep, this is definitely my recommendation...

What I like: it does what it says it does - just as good as, if not better than, an Alien Sunshade. Looks great and has great construction quality. Instructions are in black-and-white, but they're clear enough to use without issue. You don't have to lean the windshield all the way down - as long as you move the wiper blades away from the window, you can easily hold the windshield away from the frame with one hand and insert the clips with the other hand (this saves you the step of taking off the windshield wipers).What I don't like: getting access to the hard-top locks/clips - they're behind the mesh, which makes unlatching the top difficult. I have to pull/stretch the mesh to get my hand positioned to move the locks. I get why it's like this - it makes for full coverage of the opening. But I dislike pulling on the mesh in order to remove the hard-top.

I looked at a lot of shades and am happy that I went with Spiderwebshades. The quality is solid and the anchors that they supply for the tethers sets them apart from the other brands that come with the “loop over ball” fittings. DON’T BUY THE KNOCK-OFF CHINESE JUNK that you see so much of on Amazon nowadays - this is a great shade and well worth the slightly higher cost.A couple of thoughts from my experience - it gives good shade, but really darkens the interior - I bought the black shade and am considering purchasing a lighter color for a bit more brightness. I like the fact that you can order custom graphics and see that in my next purchase. It does not do too much to minimize the wind (nor would I expect others to). I will likely buy the shade that extends over the rear seat as well next time - I bought the smaller one that covers only the front seats - which is fine with the hard top on, but maybe too little with the full top off.I’m a picky buyer - very happy with my purchase of this shade.

The instructions say you have to lower the windshield... If you have someone helping you install then have person #2 hold the windshield open 4" while you install. That's all you need to put the clips in place. If you are installing alone, I highly suggest removing the windshield wipers and lowering the windshield, DO NOT try to prop it up while you install to avoid removing the wipers. This is a GREAT shade, easy to install AND you can keep it on under the freedom panels. This company is quality and knows what their doing.

A couple of the clips on my older Alien shade broke so I took the opportunity to try something different. After asking around in the Jeep groups this was by far the top recommendation, and it's obvious why.The gaps between the cage and shade are lots smaller on the sides and gone in the front and back, the install was easy but the instructions were pretty bad. The color photos on the site helped but still not great.Zoom out on your pictures. The tight crop picture of a screw doesn't help if there's no context as to where that screw is.

I had one of the Chinese versions that sagged. I'm tall, so the cheap version always brushed against my head. This version is great! It fits snug, doesn't flap in the wind, and looks nice.The instructions show one of the bungee clips in a windshield bolt hole which is not correct. They need to be printed in better resolution. I'm not sure what the strap is for. Storage maybe? I'll buy another shade for my JK.

This is a very good product clean install , here's a top you you yo y don't need to remove the windshield all the way just unvult all of the 4 bolts and tilt it a little bit at a time to install the clips no need to remove wipers .wish the sun shade was a little bit tighter so you don't see the wringle that much but other than that this product is fantastic

Better than I expected and looks great- like that you can get separate pieces fir front and back / looks better than the single shade and doesn’t chafe the Jeep
