So my wife states that she likes having the top back but the sun is a little hot for her and our almost 2 year old son. I was looking at the Spider shades and was wondering if anyone had any opinions? Can I keep it on and have the soft top closed?

Yes. Soft top can be put back on with Spiderwebshade in place. They are great and function awesome!!! I have the 2-piece one, so I can remove the front OR back shade, only, if needed.
Others have stated about "wind flapping", but mine is quiet as can be and hold great with supplied bungee ball cords.
Here is eBay link for the one I purchased. Cheaper than Spiderwebshades.com. BTW

I have the SW1 JK-2D and love it except for one thing. I think it looks dorky with the shade just kind of riding up over the radio bar.

What is the 2 piece? I haven't seen that one yet. I would have preferred mine to be like a JK-ini for the front and then just a regular to go from the radio bar back over the passenger seat..

Either way, its still one of my favorite mods.

I got one about a week ago and put it on right away as it was 96 degrees out. It made a very noticeable difference in temperature and still gives that open air feeling that seems to be lacking with a bikini top. The soft top will fold up easy without and issue just unhook the 3 ball bungees that attach the the windshield(where the soft top clips into place) and either leave it there or fold it back a bit. I'd post some pictures but I just took it off yesterday cause the temp has cooled down a bit. But for those hot summer days it's an awesome product. There is a slight flapping at higher speeds but not bad at all and you really won't notice it unless you're really focusing on it.

Member Sueby just bought one.
I like it. She says just the 2 straps that wrap around the front hooks need to be disconnected. Then the softop will work.
Totally love it. It took me 5 minutes to install it and you only have to undo 2 of the 3 front spiderballs to put the soft top up, it stays right in place.

Love mine and more importantly the wife loves it. I do notice some flapping at higher speeds but....hey it's a Jeep. There is nothing quiet about a Jeep.

Keeps the glare and hot sun down just to the right levels and still feel like I am topless. Best mod to date and one of the cheapest. Jim.

Is their "trail mesh" worth the extra $20 on the JKU version or does the cheaper Ultramesh hold up just fine unless you're in heavy brush? It seems like the Trailmesh from their pictures online doesn't allow you to see out as easily if you were to buy the rear cargo area piece but maybe it's just the way their photos are?

I just installed the Ultra mesh last week. It's awesome!
It was 98 degrees here last week/weekend. Kids love riding around with the top down, it worked great. I'll probably only use my A/C when it rains and I have to put the top up.

I couldn't tell you about the trailmesh, but I'm happy with the Ultramesh visibility.
You can see the clouds in the sky, and the tree limbs overhead. The Ultra mesh stretches a little bit, to make for a nice fit. I think you will be happy with either one, because there are alot of people on here really happy with the Trailmesh also.

Worth every penny, best accessory for my Jeep so far.

I have been doorless with the ultra mesh since last JUly. I love the top. We never even use the a/c in the central Texas heat. Best mod you will do for your Jeep.
