Looking for a summer top that is easy to install and remove? The Rugged Ridge Eclipse Sunshade gives the open air and top down feeling you want, while providing added protection from harsh sunlight. Featuring reinforced mesh construction, the half sun shade installs between the front portion of a JK sport bar and windshield to protect either front or rear passengers separately. The full-length sun shade is secured between the windshield and the rear crossbar of the JK sport bar to protect both front and rear passengers simultaneously. By using the mesh material with built-in elastic straps, this sunshade was designed from the start to eliminate the need for a header channel as with other similar products. An all-in-one package, this sunshade is simple to install and does not require any modifications. By retaining access to the Jeep top clamps, drivers can keep the shade in place and preserve function of the factory top. The Eclipse Sun Shade installs with sewn-in bungee cords and a small mesh carrying bag for storage when not in use. Compact in size, the Rugged Ridge sun shade can be stored in just about any compartment of your Jeep for quick access. Available in your choice of tough black or hot red.
Garbage, wind gets caught underneath and seems like the top is going to fly off
First let me say that it certainly does its job at filtering the sun on your head when the tops are off. So once you install their piece you’ll pretty much want to leave it on. It’s not easy to get right. But my experience is that the holes they have for your fingers to access the Freedom top latches are somewhat off. So it’s a little tricky to flip them.
Exactly what we wanted as a sunshade over the front seats of our JL 4-door. Access holes allow for reinstallation of the Freedom tops. Note: these holes are not supposed to line up either the Freefom top mechanisms; just allows your hand to reach up through them to close the latches. Velcro straps have easy grip red tabs to aid in separating the Velcro.
Knocked the Texas Sun off of us while driving over 1000 miles. No whistling. No flapping. No problems.(installed with /KC Pro6 Light bar)took the 4 screws on the inside of the windshield out and loosened the screws on the lightbar. Pushed forward (probably about 6 inches, lol. More than I expected). Put the 2 front anchors in…
