ALIEN SUNSHADE Jeep Wrangler 2-Piece Mesh Shade Top Cover with 10 Year Warranty Provides UV Protection for Front And Rear Passengers 4-Door JKU (2007-2017) (Black)

I tried going topless but wanted some shade from the sun and thought if I did get a soft top that I could keep it installed. It was a pain to install the front and rear. Wouldn't want to do that more than once. I bought a soft top, less work to lower and raise then dealing with this IMO.

The second shade I’ve bought first one was for my renegade absolutely love this product definitely worth the money installation was easy appearance looks great fits very well would definitely buy again

Years ago I had purchased a Sunshade from Alien for my 2016 hypergreen JK Wrangler, fondly named “Glostik”. The sunscreen was awesome! When I upgraded to a 2019 JL with the One touch roof I was sad that I was unable to use it, so it sold with Glostik. I’ve continued to miss the sunscreen, it living under the impression that I was unable to use one because of the roof. So obviously, since I’m writing this review I have discovered I can have my cake and eat it too! After some trial and error with ordering it through Amazon (a story for another day) I again am in seventh heaven with having a sunshade on my Jeep!! It is perfect! It cuts on that sun shining in your eyes ( I’m 5” if that makes a difference) and it does cut down on the wind/noise driving on the interstate. If you are in doubt….go for it, you won’t regret it……NOW….a few “notes”…. I wish there was the option for just buying the front. I didn’t want or need the back panel. There should be better instructions and videos for installing on the One Touch, especially where the bungee should be placed in the front corners where the roof brackets are. The white plastic strap to help guide the bungees needs to be about 6” LONGER, and lastly Aliens website explain/show that it works great with the One Touch!!

Originally owned the smittybilt sunshade which lasted for years while being used in the southern springs, summers, and falls. Dont get me wrong, I loved the smittybilt mesh top. Now though, I have ventured out to try the alien shade and I am very impressed. Thick, durable material with great coverage. The size of each panel fits pretty close to the roll bars, not leaving a huge gap. But the best part of this top is the fact that if the bungee ever start to stretch, break, or just happen to disappear... it literally uses a bungee that can be found at any hardware store, tool store, or even places like Walmart or target. This is a huge advantage over the smittybilt top since those bungees are sewn into the top and once they are stretched or damaged, thats it unless you feel like sewing on your new ones yourself.

Order/delivery: No Issues. This product was delivered with no issues. all parts were accounted for in the manufacturers packing (including the little green Alien). Installation: The installation of the front sunshade took approximately 20 minutes. This would have been significantly reduced had I removed the full hard top prior to installation. The sunshade came with a QR code link to an installation video which clearly explained how to install with no issues. There can be a small learning curve for the types of bungee straps used. Installation would be much easier with full top off and an extra set of hands, but neither are necessary. I simply paused the video prior to beginning of the following step without any difficulty. Fitment: The front sunshade as described on the website and in photos online with no major gaps on any one side. Quality. The bungee straps held together with no issue. The screen and grommets remained intact after full load from all bungees was placed on the sunshade. I performed a test drive up to about 50 mph to ensure the sunshade would not flap in the wind. The shade was taught all the way around with no vibration or flapping noted. Overall: This appears to be a quality product. I had no issues with installation or first use. I would recommend rolling down all windows prior to start, because if the bungee slips it COULD have enough force to break the door glass.
