I'm new here so forgive me if this is common sense, but Why is there a gap on the sides? Why wouldn't these be made 2 inches wider to cover this? Is there a reason for this? I'm in the market for a sun shade and trying to figure all this out. Thanks.
Hey Brian!
Solid question. There are a few reasons for this.

1. Having a slight gap gives you enough room to fit your hands to latch your hard top / soft top + freedom panels while keeping your sunshade installed.
2. The bungees need a little bit of distance to remain taught and prevent sagging and flapping at highway speeds

Ultimately, the gap isn't that large. Here's a nice aerial shot showing the gap.

Our Granite Crystal JLU is rocking Cherry Red at the moment. However, Granite Crystal is one of those colors like black where ANY shade color looks good on it to be honest!

Check out these shots of Cherry Red and Purple.

Red and Purple look sweet in these combinations. Final debate was between gray or steel blue, Gray was out of stock ~ Ordered the Steel Blue ! Should be here by the weekend :fingerscrossed:

Hi @JCatherine!
Yes, I have some shots of the Sand/Tan color but on a JK.

I seriously think the Sand shade would look HOT on your White on Tan Jeep, but you can't go wrong with either!:like:

Here you go:
