I have been reading some reviews on the SpiderWeb Shade Top and was really surprised to see as many negatives as I have. Everyone I have spoken to loves them and can’t make it through summer without them. I’ve even been known to let strangers with a Wrangler sit in my Jeep to have a look at it.
The majority of the negative reviews I read have all been about the bungee cords not having enough stretch or them breaking. I personally do not see this as a negative for such a great product. We lost one of our cords but after a quick trip to Walmart and less than $5 later we had a large pack of them. We in fact have so many of them that we keep finding them in in the oddest places in the Jeep.
The ones we bought from Walmart come in a few different colors, we chose bright red to match our Jeep. They have a lot more stretch in them which allows you to get better angles around the roll bar and get a better fit. If you are planning to purchase or have purchased the shade top I highly recommend buying some extra cords so they are there when you need them. The extra slack in these cords does not at all affect the performance of the shade top, it does not have any extra give and does not flap around in the wind.
If you like to run top down in the summer without having the hot sun beating down on you then this product is just what you need. You don’t have to deal with window channels and if you run into rain then you can throw the top right over the top of it without having to take the shade top off. Don’t worry about headroom being compromised with the shade top on, my husband is a tall guy with a big head and he has plenty of room.
