Hey question. Do you have the shade for the Gladiator out yet? And, will the sunshade work with a Bestop Sunrider?

Yes, our front half shade for the JL is a perfect fit for the Gladiator: Jeep Gladiator Sunshade

And yes, it is compatible with the sunrider.

Good deal. Wifey has one in transit and likes my Alien sunshade, and her current Sunrider.

So she talked you into the Gladiator Or did she have to "convince" you. What did she decide on?

She’s got a Rubicon that will be here in a couple weeks.

Probably thinks I’m the biggest asshole in the world haha

Can we get some pictures posted of your sunshades, Alien or other brands? Even pictures from the inside looking up at the sunshade would be great. I would love to specifically see different colored shades with the Ocean Blue JLRU.

Black is the tried and true standby color, but I am wondering about some other colors as well. Thanks!!!

I found the front clips frustrating so I unscrewed the windshield and pushed it out enough to see what I was doing. After looking at it, I now understand what it clips to and it will be easier to do the second time. I wish their video and instructions included pictures like this.

It’s hard to tell in the photos, but there’s a black trim piece between the windshield and the leading edge of the frame. You have to get the clip passed it an then it will clip onto the frame easily. Pretty sure I was trying to clip it to the black piece since the best you can do is feel around.

The windshield only took a few minutes, if you would rather go that route.

I totally agree. The windshield took less than 2 minutes to take the 4 bolts out so that I could be sure what I was hooking to. A lot easier than fishing around and hoping.

I see you installed just 2 of the 4 extra long bungees...connecting the front and rear shades together to the middle roll bar. That is what I did as well. I contacted Alienshade afterwards to confirm that it was ok to do that. I was told that they don't recommend it. What's up with that???
