So now that I have the hardtop on, I've been leaving the Freedom Panels off and stored in their bag in the back.

Problem is that I often park in a "leafy" area and I am looking for something quick to cover the Freedom opening when I park, to avoid having to clean out leaves every day afternoon when I leave work.
Of course I could pop the panels in and out, but I am looking for something much quicker that I can throw on when I get to work, and take off when I leave.
Does such a product exist? Any suggestions?

 

a trail cover?

 

Had not seen anything like that. But, its a good idea for a project!!

 

What about one of those spiderweb shade tops.

www.jeepwranglertops.com I think that is the place anyway. Dont' know if they have one for the JK yet.

 

x2 it's the only option I have seen so far!!!

 

BBT?


Big Blue Tarp?!

 

hahahaha!

i didnt think of that.

 

Thanks!
I already have the MOPAR trail cover and I used it a lot when the soft top was down.
It would probably fit with the hardtop on, but I was hoping for something quicker to install (seconds vs. minutes) that would just cover up the "Freedom Hole".

 

How long does it take to place/pull the panels?

 

If it's not very windy, just unroll the trail cover over the opening, but don't unroll it over the back of the Jeep (wouldn't fit properly, anyway). Don't bother to cinch it down. If you roll it up right, you should be able to do this in 20-30 seconds.

I always roll mine up on the passenger's side after folding it to the center from the front and rear. Be careful to roll up the front portion (that covers the windshield) last.

Then, I place the roll up on the roof from the driver's side and give it a pretty good push. That unrolls it all of the way down the other side. Pull it back to the driver's side to center it up, then unfold just the front portion.
