Newbie here, bought a 2018 4 Door JLU Sahara and of course I have been purchasing parts like crazy. In my haste I purchased the Rugged Ridge Eclipse sunshade http://www.ruggedridge.com/eclipse-...8-wrangler-unlimited-jlu-4-door-13579-71.html. It turned out to be a mistake of my own doing.
Don't get me wrong, construction is excellent and it installed easily, but their design is a bit off. You are supposed to be able to install the hard top over the sunshade, however, they left out one minor detail. The back shell goes on fine, but there is no way to clip the back of the freedom tops. They have holes where you can clip the front of the freedom tops, but did not think to design the product with holes for the back clips of the freedom top.
After looking at Alien, for twice the price, I realized I made a mistake. Their design actually had accessibility to the back clips. It's on me, but I am surprised they would put front clip holes and completely disregard the back clips for the freedom tops. I assume it was designed for soft tops, but why leave it out.
