Looks good. Nice contrasting colors.
Didn't have a chance to post a review after spending a day with the hard top off. Must say going topless is my preferred method now. This was actually the first time the entire top had been removed for driving. And to quote my 5 year old "this is the cool Jeep." With the top off the center armrest was hot enough to burn the skin. After installing the spiderweb shade the arm rest actually felt cooler to touch than with the hard top on. While you aren't technically topless with a mesh top of any kind this is definitely an improvement over being exposed to the hot sun on a 95+ degree day with 80% humidity. One thing I wasn't aware of and caused me concern when I purchased was the possibility of the two center grommets bouncing of the roll cage, Spiderweb shade thought of this and install a Velcro cover to under the grommets when the hard top is off. There was minimal thumping from the center section bouncing up and down. This could be stopped by running a couple of bungee balls through the sound bar screw holes and the grommets with a plastic dowel rod placed on top. Or one long bungee ball cord that would reach through both screw holes and the grommets and back around to the underside to hook onto the bungee ball. I hope that makes since. I am going to try both options this weekend if it doesn't rain. Overall dollar spend this is a good product. There are imitators out there, and while I haven't seen their products, I knew I was getting a good product with the Spiderweb shade vs the competition.
Thinking about running either cargo nets in the rear or the spiderweb shade cargo cover. Is anyone running the Spiderweb shade cargo cover? And what are your thoughts?
Rock LOBSTA!
I like the contrast in this. Really well done. I like it when people dont play it safe.
Thanks rexx, wanted something different.
See my previous "bungee through the soundbar" comments on the following thread ;-) -> http://jeeplab.com/showthread.php?44...d-Coupon/page2Quote:

I don't have any flapping as of yet, but i'm the only one with my model and style of spiderwebshade. I have the shadecage that goes front, to back, over the roll bar to the back seat. Maybe the aerodynamics are different, maybe the flapping takes time for some of us.Quote:

Seriously?
that was an old spammer from before I changed the security in March. Must have missed weeding him out. Back to Business!Quote:

They are only 12"s but I removed a ball from another cord and will try weaving the cord through the screw holes up through and back down to the other screw hole. I will post my results. I found another type of bungee cord but not in the right length with a bungee ball, it basically has spear on one end that folds out to a t-shape to hold the shade down. If I can find that type of bungee part separate on a make your own bungee site I will try it as well.
finally fixed the flapping. Added a 1/2" plumbing pipe insulator on top of the sound bar. Cured the flapping. Now to try to fix the rush of air from behind so my little girls don't look like they stuck their fingers in a light socket. Anyone have experience with the JKU cargo shade? Would like to see if it actually cuts down on the wind turbulence.
:cool: Take the top off only to put a semi-transparent top on to solve all the issues of going toplessQuote:

Unfortunately I am folicaly challenged and hat hats. And this appeases the wife to that end. But my little girls get cold in the evenings from the backwash of air. I still want a top off appearnce, which the spidershade does a great job of.
Whiteravenrr did you ever find grommets to allow your trek top nx to workbwith you spidershade? Just picked up a trek top nx really cheap but would love running both together.
Not yet. Another option is to get their front webshade instead of the full shade. That should allow you to run your Trektop and still be able to flip it back and have the shade in place.
My hard top just went back on. Ready to cry
Got it all installed no longer than it takes to install either top won't worry about modifying the spiderwebshade.
Just got a call from Spiderwebshade and they will add the grommets for the trek top center straps to go through. If you don't have the spidershade yet, they can do it at the time of the order. If you need it done after your purchase it will only cost you shipping of $11.95.
WHOA!Quote:

Yes, it is nice they are adapting their priduct to fit with other products.
Looks like I will be shipping mine back to get it upgraded. Did they mention when they will be ready to start this process?
Are they just letting anyone ship stuff back?
It sounded as if this something they would do for anyone who asked. I would call first before you ship.
I'll call them when I get around to putting my soft top back on. I've been running SpiderShade for the last week and a half. I will have to take it off and wash it before I send it. It's got some mud in places from burying her down to the frame and climbing out. I wouldn't want to send them a dirty shade back.
Those spider shade people wrote the book on customer service.
