that is good you have no gaps with the sky showing if the top is off what brand is that again because I have the alien 2 piece and mine doesn't have that mine has 2 inch Gap in the front where the sun comes through when I hate it they said they made it that way so you can meet the handles you can have it all the way like you doing still reef handels what brand do you haveI took a quick picture on my lunch break to give you an idea. There is absolutely no red hue from the shade. Even when the top is off there is no hue.

There is no gap in the front for the sun to come through. There are gaps going down the sides, but are so little that I can hardly notice it. I have no issues accessing the latches for the soft top. The freedom panels may be a different story, but I hardly remove the freedom panels when the hard top is on anyways.This is the spiderweb shade one piece. I wanted the one piece because I don't have to change anything when I go between the soft top and hard top. They do have a two piece, but mounts differently depending on the top. I am not sure about the alien sunshade, but at higher speeds there is a slight humming/vibration sound from this one piece, but can easily be drowned out with some music. If I didn't have a little one I wouldn't have gotten this at all, but the wind and direct sun would bother him. I took him for a spin with this shade on and he approves! It certainly cuts down on the wind flowing to the back seat and obviously reduces the sunlight coming in, but still gives enough of the open air feel.

With the 2 peice you don't have the hump on top like the one piece has that's why I went with the 2 peice. I just think it's cleaner look but that's my opinion

Too judgmental of other people’s choices that don’t affect you

I cant remember is this the 1 or 2 piece spider shade ?I took a quick picture on my lunch break to give you an idea. There is absolutely no red hue from the shade. Even when the top is off there is no hue.

So you have the two piece also or the two piece alien ? I really like the two piece that way you don't have that hump over the soundbar with a one-piece minds me of a hump whale sticking up LOL but everyone has their own opinion I like the two piece itjit has a cleaner look to me

I have a hard too and soft top. I got the one piece spiderweb shade so I don’t have to change how I mount the sunshade. I do like the two piece shades, but the one piece works better for me. If I had one too I’d get the two piece. I’m still very happy with the one piece.

Someone said with the two-piece spiderwebshade it doesn't hook up right in the back and they had to change something what do they mean I saw the pictures

I'm looking at getting the Spiderweb Shade (kini) just for the front of my JL 2 door. Obviously the freedom panels are removed for the instillation but does the hard top have to be removed? The only instructions I can find are for a 4 door, with the top off.

It will be far easier with the top off. I have the kini on my 2-door. The rearmost bungee attaches to the roll bar behind the sound bar and wraps around the outside of the bar. You might be able to get it done with the top just slightly raised off the Jeep body to get the bungee cord routed, but it seems that would be a pain. With the top off it was a pretty quick install.

Thanks for the reply, I figured as much but wasn't sure if I was over looking something.

I bought the JLKini from Spiderwebshade, the freedom tops are super easy to take off and put back on to not have some sort of sunshade. There won't be any worries about it scratching the paint because the mesh didn't go over it. Yeah yeah yeah, I had to take four bolts to loosen the windshield... THAT was even easier. I really don't see what the fuss is all about on that subject. My sunshade is staying on permanently. I have plenty of headroom. I'm 5'11.5".
In a nutshell, YES. A sunshade is worth it. I personally don't care what kind you get, they all have their pros and cons. Also, I have the option of getting the back covered if I buy the rear part. I just didn't see me going completely topless just yet. I like to take things slow.
Did you paint the small attaching spider nubs red or did they come that way?
