Hmmm... never had the odor issue. Hopefully that'll go away quickly.I think it depends on where you live. I just got my sunrider this week. It was still in the upper 80's here in tucson so I got a taste of what it will be like in the summer. It was quite a bit hotter in my jeep than with the freedom top on. On top of that, the hotter it got the more it smelled like gasoline. That is going away but it was pretty strong at the start. I dont see any way to keep this thing on in the summer, at least here in Arizona. I'm sure around June, I will be swapping out.
I've had my Sunrider on throughout this summer ... 80s - 90s with a few days into the 100s. We've had several afternoons recently in the high 80s and once the sun goes down it's downright comfy with the top open. Once it pushes into the 90s I tend to button up and run a/c.
Can't say I've noticed a real difference between the SR and freedom panels once it gets aired out and either running the A/C or popping the top open. I'm sure it allows more heat in the summer but nothing the A/C hasn't been able to handle... and it ceases to matter once you open it up.
