See Sarge above. JTop fits well and was an easy install. Seems well engineered (will see how long the magnets last in the heat). I’d buy it again.
Why would heat affect magnets?

To be more specific, why would the relatively low heat of sunlight affect NIB magnets?

Heat reduces magnetism, hopefully not much radiates/conducts into them...

I ordered a top from @JTopsUSA . During shipping, UPS bent the metal bar. Called Jtops, and cannot begin to tell you how great they were. Immediately got it taken care of with no work on my end. I received the new top promptly and returned the old one. American made, real customer service, and a quality product. Who could ask for more?

So here in North Texas we averaged about 108 this past week. New Jeep owner and really needed something to throw on before this weekend (~110 Sat & Sun) since I wanted to take the top off for an event on Saturday. I bought the JLkini from Spiderwebshade on Tuesday evening and received on Friday. I really like the design of the Jtops shade but didn't want to wait 5+ weeks and we rarely have someone in the backseat... did not seem worth the price/wait for our situation. I have taken it up to 75mph with no additional noise or any noticeable issues. Fitment is pretty good, no gap in front, small gaps (1/2" or so) at sides and back. Definitely cuts back on sun and some of the wind with just the freedom panels off... must-have for this weather. Wife has pretty fair skin and she is definitely a big fan.

Had not seen much posted on here regarding this specific shade so thought I would throw my .02 in. Total install time was around 20 min. Regarding windshield... you do not have to drop it fully, just stand-up the wipers and have someone hold it a few inches open (or shim it and tape off temporarily) while you slide on clips.

I will upload a couple pics if anyone cares to see. Link below, used code JEEPLAB for $10 off.

Were you up in Denton? I heard it got that hot there today. I ask because I moved to Colorado from there last year.

You don't want to know what the weather was like here today.
