I purchased a JKini 2 door Spider Web Shade and put it on yesterday. This product by far is the best thing I have ever bought for my jeep in the year in a half I have owned it. It comes with a 5 year limited warranty and they threw in 2 SpiderWebShade.com decals to represent them. With shipping and everything it was $65.98 and that's with the 10% discount. You can beat that price.

One install tip, after you take it out of the box, unfold it and let it lay in the paved driveway to get hot for a little while. This will help get the wrinkles out and make it stretch a little and make it easier to install.

X2. Installed mine yesterday. Laid out in the hot sun like the install video said and it made it easy. Had a hard time deciding which one to go with, DD or SWS. Very happy with decision to go with the SWS JKini Trail Mesh. Nice and tight. No flapping, or I can't hear it over the seat belts. I went with front only - rarely have passengers. Let 'em sweat if I do!

I dont know if you got a firm answer but Spiderwebshade stated that you have to take off the rear hardtop. I wish there was a way. I so dont want to bother taking off the rear hardtop!!!

Just got my SWS JKini and I'm wondering why I didn't do it sooner. I'll admit that I didn't take the rear topper off, and it makes it a bit more challenging to install. But, some creative fishing for the straps helped make it a painless install. The JKini really helps to reduce the sun's heat and glare, and it's actually quite quiet in the rig going down the freeway. Bottom line, it's a cheap and practical mod.

Didn't want to start a new thread so I wanted to ask everyone who has the sw-1 jk-2d that if you are in the back do you hit your head against the top? I've had complaints about that and wondering if its normal or did I install it wrong

The only issue I'm running into is I wanted to leave it hooked up when putting the front tops back on but don't think it's going to be possible.
Just to clarify, I'm talking about the jkini shade not the full length one.

Not going to say it was easy trying to fish the spider ball loop under the hard top, but I did it.
