First of all, I love my spiderwebshade and have gotten great use out of it this summer so far, and have no plans of getting rid of it. Wouldn’t be topless every day without it. Something to be aware of after a month of use, though. The back edge that lays on the cross member of the sport bar does flap in the wind in speeds faster than about 40 mph. The flapping has started sanding down the paint and left quite a few scratches on mine. I’m going to try to polish them out and then come up with a solution. Also, the black plastic knobs on the rear corners have left black marks. Not a huge deal, but if anyone has any ideas to remedy this, let me know. Probably will try attaching some soft fabric to the trailing edge of the shade, and securing it to the cross member to arrest the abrasive movement. I imagine other shades will have this problem, as well. If I didn’t travel on the freeway so much it probably wouldn’t be an issue.
This sucks. I’m not sure I can live with this. I just installed mine last night too. :(

Great new color and can you tell us if the buckles extra strap length has been resolved and padding where the buckles could scratch your sports bar? Mine has shipped finally and give us some feedback at speeds.

The length of the straps seem perfect to just wrap and tuck under. I havent had it on the hwy yet to see if they flop out or not.

I see no danger of damaging the sports bar. The neoprene works good.


EDIT! Just realized it now has buckles that do a great job of retaining the straps.

So JTOPS mentioned that the shade would interfere with the Mopar grab handles, but from looking at your pics, it looks to be ok. Any issue or rearranging around these handles?

Its just a tight fit next to them, I didn't mind the fitment at all and I'm OCD. haha. I can take a few pics when I go back out in a min.

Installed the JTOPUSA shade today. It's pretty sweet!

Is there some protection / padding under the shade to prevent scratching the paint. I know the straps / buckles have paddings but I don't want to get JTOPUSA if it scratches like Spiderweb Shades.

Thanks,

I think there is one floating around somewhere. I was unable to find it. Might want to message them and ask.

I got the email that mine was processing and then notification that it shipped the following day. Hopefully it will work out that way for you as well. Sunshade and TopLift Pro scheduled to arrive on Tuesday.

I just installed my SpiderWebShade JLKini today and did have to remove the (4) screws to install the front clips but did not remove the wipers, the shade does somewhat block the latches for the freedom panels but it’s honesly not the big of a deal to move the fabric out of the way and I more than likely won’t go topless that often but it does keep the heat off you here in south Texas DA1B8CC2-B984-400A-8C17-90CB111F4AA2.jpeg 7BB5CBBD-C705-4820-B709-F7A91B5D4BE5.jpeg 6B774DC3-056D-4F6B-A396-5ED7CB42936E.jpeg D4CBAA1F-7A30-4B4D-A28A-572F885BBDD7.jpeg B986FC5B-CC86-494F-B687-9B881ACD55C8.jpeg

My (potential) solution to the scratching, which starts after 3 days of non highway use! 3M heavy duty adhesive Velcro. I just had it laying around and haven't been on the road with it yet.

If this doesn't work, I'm just polishing out the scratches and putting some ppf on.

How long have you had your drill in your Jeep. I live in tx. It’ll be 102 tomorrow. I’m concerned about it getting too hot.
I've had it about 4 months. I'm in NJ, so it doesn't get so hot here, but I've not seen issues. I keep it in the little covered bay in the back.
