I have the non-body colored hard top panels for my new 2018 JLU Rubi.

Does anyone know where one can purchase removable panels that have glass or any see-through material?

Does such a thing even exist (even for JK models)?

Please link if available or, if customization is required, suggest some good companies to work with (preferably in North Texas area).

Looks like such a thing already exists via customization.

Any idea if some for the 2018 models are in development?

Looks like someone just installed glass panels into the hard top parts, you might be able to get a custom shop to do it for you...but as far as availablity for purchase I personally have not seen it as a JK option.

Hereā€™s a link to the panels on eBay. Donā€™t think they make them for the 2018 yet, but Iā€™m gonna message them to see if itā€™s something theyā€™re planning on releasing.

Thanks for the input everyone. Iā€™m definitely not a DIY type and would rather throw money at the problem to save time and frustration. I tried contacting JeeTops, but never got a response about JL availability.

Four low, any idea how soon theyā€™ll be available?

I think it's awesome and I posted a similar thread last month.

Based on what I've seen, I'll bet the reason FCA doesn't offer an OEM option has to do with the torsional rigidity and difficulty keeping them from leaking/cracking as seen in other's jeetop versions. Regardless, I would kill to have them on the freedom panels. I think best option is for the freedom panel (or at least the solid part exposed) ITSELF to be made of the translucent material (acrylic or whatever). That way it isn't a "cutout" which will likely wear/leak.

Or you can just purchase from him. He does good work. Just check him out. My favorite he's done is that black/white themed hardtop.

The removable side panels are part of the Sky One-Touch top option which AFAIK is not yet available.

Not that Iā€™d willingly drive through a hail storm, but I doubt that roof would survive....

i am keen to know if there is an 'electric sunroof ' option.
i have seen them in the American Fastback tops but they don't seem to just sell the front section.
And i found OpenTop in the UK, which looks promising.

Has anyone had or got better info for the JL around opening sunroofs? ( not the sunrider or power top)
