JK Front & Rear Sunshade

**Title: A Must-Have Upgrade for Open-Air Driving** This sunshade is absolute perfection for anyone who loves the open-air feel but needs a break from the blistering heat. Installation takes only a few minutes with the included bungees, and the best part is that you can leave it fully installed even when putting the hardtop back on. It dramatically reduces harsh glare, harmful UV rays, and highway wind noise without ruining the classic, open Jeep experience. The high-quality mesh construction is incredibly durable and fits tight to the roll bars without any annoying flapping at high speeds.

I am completely and hopelessly in love with my Alien Sunshade. I adore my Jeep top-down but living in Florida, that means many months are off limits due to intensely searing heat in the Sunshine State. It hit a bit early this year. When we topped 92 and I was stuck in traffic, I knew dreaded top-up time had arrived and I began to sink into a slight depression at the prospect of enclosed travelling. Thank all the powers of automotive deities that I discovered Alien! It is AMAZING and unbelievably easy to install. You can even leave it on when you put the top up. Best of all…it WORKS! Really, really well! As I crossed a bridge, I actually felt the cool air coming off the river instead of the blazing sun on my head. Sitting in traffic, the shade not only protects from the sun but also holds the AC in better. I swear it makes the stereo louder too. I think the mesh "bounces" the sound back in from the speaker bar or it could be that the lack of imminent heatstroke enhances my hearing. Honestly, I love this product so much, if you give me enough time I'll probably discover that my Alien Sunshade makes me look younger and drive better too! :) I may rename my Jeep, Roswell, so that my Alien feels right at home! If you are hesitant to purchase this...don’t be. If you ever feel uncomfortable in the sun with the top down...this is the cure. To enjoy your Jeep all summer, there are only two things you need: the key and your Alien Sunshade. I was NOT compensated in any way to endorse this product I just fricking love it and want everyone to know how great it is. I also want to address the comments that Alien is a “rip-off” of another brand. Bullpoo. If that line of thinking is correct then anyone driving a car that is not a Ford or has a phone not made by Bell is using a rip-off. Come on! This is America and we compete. That is what makes us strong. Competition keeps companies striving to go farther and do better. This is exactly what Alien did; better price, better warranty, incredible product and a much cooler logo! Plus, I was truly impressed with their excellent personal customer service. I emailed for info and got an immediate direct response from the owner! Alien rules the cool!

Originally owned the smittybilt sunshade which lasted for years while being used in the southern springs, summers, and falls. Dont get me wrong, I loved the smittybilt mesh top. Now though, I have ventured out to try the alien shade and I am very impressed. Thick, durable material with great coverage. The size of each panel fits pretty close to the roll bars, not leaving a huge gap. But the best part of this top is the fact that if the bungee ever start to stretch, break, or just happen to disappear... it literally uses a bungee that can be found at any hardware store, tool store, or even places like Walmart or target. This is a huge advantage over the smittybilt top since those bungees are sewn into the top and once they are stretched or damaged, thats it unless you feel like sewing on your new ones yourself.

I like the look, and after figuring out what the instructions meant to say, installation was pretty easy. The instructions say there are THREE short bungies that go in the front--there are actually FOUR that came with it (and four obvious front holes, two in the center--so it took a minute to sort that out. It also wasn't clear which way to insert the bungies, but after a few attempts (to get the ball on the inside as stated), it became obvious. Would have been smoother had the number of short bungies in the instructions been correct, and if they showed pictures making it clear the best way to insert them. Also, the two front side bungies can’t really go where they say, at least on my Jeep, or the shade gets all bunched-up on the edges. I needed to wrap them around me front corner “Jesus” straps (in a way that wouldn’t interfere with the movement of the two sun visors). My main concern is the center metal gromets--which are meant to have the freedom panel screws go through. They are a good inch off (too far forward) when installed as specified. But since the bungies stretch, I assume I'll be able to get them to move back enough to get the screws in once I get my hard top/freedom panels back (they are in the body shop, hence the need for some kind of cover). We’ll see. Overall, I’m satisfied, as this shade is a lot better than nothing when out in the summer sun.

As described, love it. Less intense sun and reduced wind volume so can converse with passenger.

Order/delivery: No Issues. This product was delivered with no issues. all parts were accounted for in the manufacturers packing (including the little green Alien). Installation: The installation of the front sunshade took approximately 20 minutes. This would have been significantly reduced had I removed the full hard top prior to installation. The sunshade came with a QR code link to an installation video which clearly explained how to install with no issues. There can be a small learning curve for the types of bungee straps used. Installation would be much easier with full top off and an extra set of hands, but neither are necessary. I simply paused the video prior to beginning of the following step without any difficulty. Fitment: The front sunshade as described on the website and in photos online with no major gaps on any one side. Quality. The bungee straps held together with no issue. The screen and grommets remained intact after full load from all bungees was placed on the sunshade. I performed a test drive up to about 50 mph to ensure the sunshade would not flap in the wind. The shade was taught all the way around with no vibration or flapping noted. Overall: This appears to be a quality product. I had no issues with installation or first use. I would recommend rolling down all windows prior to start, because if the bungee slips it COULD have enough force to break the door glass.

Years ago I had purchased a Sunshade from Alien for my 2016 hypergreen JK Wrangler, fondly named “Glostik”. The sunscreen was awesome! When I upgraded to a 2019 JL with the One touch roof I was sad that I was unable to use it, so it sold with Glostik. I’ve continued to miss the sunscreen, it living under the impression that I was unable to use one because of the roof. So obviously, since I’m writing this review I have discovered I can have my cake and eat it too! After some trial and error with ordering it through Amazon (a story for another day) I again am in seventh heaven with having a sunshade on my Jeep!! It is perfect! It cuts on that sun shining in your eyes ( I’m 5” if that makes a difference) and it does cut down on the wind/noise driving on the interstate. If you are in doubt….go for it, you won’t regret it……NOW….a few “notes”…. I wish there was the option for just buying the front. I didn’t want or need the back panel. There should be better instructions and videos for installing on the One Touch, especially where the bungee should be placed in the front corners where the roof brackets are. The white plastic strap to help guide the bungees needs to be about 6” LONGER, and lastly Aliens website explain/show that it works great with the One Touch!!

Excellent sun shade! No more sunburns out and about! This was installed on my 2013. As some reviews have stated, the fit isn't quite universal - the holes for the freedom panel screws don't line up, and there's two corner straps that cannot be applied, but the quality of the material is top notch and it's super easy to install. Plus you get a cool little alien figure to accompany your dash ducks. Hopefully in time the mesh will stretch and I can get the panel holes lined up by the time fall rolls around; if not, it's not a big deal to remove and reinstall later. Highly recommended!

I tried going topless but wanted some shade from the sun and thought if I did get a soft top that I could keep it installed. It was a pain to install the front and rear. Wouldn't want to do that more than once. I bought a soft top, less work to lower and raise then dealing with this IMO.

De muy biena calidad

I am not a fan of peak summer heat so this Sunshade turned out to be a great accessory for my 2017 2 door sport. Fits perfectly. When I went to put my soft top back on, the 2 clamps were taken by the bungy chords, but I simply popped them off and stored them aside. They went on easily when needed so not a issue.

Would have given 5 stars but it was kind of a pain putting the hardtop back on top. Especially because of the front loops and the handles to secure the front panels but otherwise it worked. Just left out some of the balls from the front. Also for the holes ontop to align with the screws it had to get pulled further back so now theres a gap at the front. Still serves its purpose well though. I would buy again if I had another jeep.

Usually it says will not fit a 2019. Took me a bit to open it so can’t return.
