Review: No more bulky freedom panels to remove... - This took me a bit longer than 40 mins to install. I was able to install myself. I actually watched an install video on you tube by Bestop. Made install easier. Please follow instructions exactly. I decided to jump steps and therefore prolonged the install. The instructions also call for cutting into bar padding, however, I had removed my faded sport bar padding a couple years ago and have been running bare bars for awhile so lining up the screw holes was easy for me. Once complete, I am absolutely satisfied with this item. This definitely makes opening your Jeep top convenient. This top is like a convertible, you just unhook and pull top back. Within seconds you go from top to topless. I even did this at a red stoplight. I was also able to open the sunshade and shoot the video at the same time. Easy peasy. I had a shadeidea mesh shade installed and this would have worked in conjunction to that however, it would have been in the way of operating this sunshade effectively. The material is high quality. It doesnt appear to make much noise while driving closed, as far as rain getting in, I haven't had this for a rainfall just yet. Keep in mind, upon being a new item, the first few times of closing shade will be a little tight. But the more I'm using it, the easier it gets. The sun needs to help stretch the material. Definitely worth the price. The good thing is, you can remove this easily to re-install freedom panels if you get bored. I ordered the Black Diamond version because of all the off-roading I do.. I heard the Twill is harder to keep clean. Thank you Bestop for coming out with this fun Jeep accessory. I ordered the retractable mesh shade that goes with this sunrider and have left a review with video.. go check it out.
Review: Favorite Upgrade - I don't know why I waited so long to get this upgrade. I live in a location where car break-ins are common, so a full soft top is not an option. I found this option and was a little annoyed that it cost almost as much as a full soft top, so I waited on the decision. I'm glad I finally pulled the trigger. The top panels are so big, cumbersome, and are hot to touch in the sun. I could never fit them in the back with my two large German shepherds. Now, it's an easy flip! To all those that say it's loud, it's not that much louder. Jeeps are loud vehicles because they don't have any insulation anywhere. When it's open, I've gone 80mph and it doesn't flap. The only time I've heard flapping is when there's a cross breeze when you're riding. Installation was super easy to follow, but I've done a few mods before, so I feel comfortable doing these. Took me maybe an hour with 1 person. It fits perfectly, and for me, everything lined up well. I have not washed the jeep yet, so I can't say whether or not there are any leaks - fingers crossed. One area on the passenger side door gets a little hung up on the rain rail, and the fabric bunches a bit when I close the top, but I just manually straighten it out. Not a big deal. Overall, great product. Wish it was a little less expensive, but you get what you pay for, so I am anticipating that this lasts many years.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you have to drill or cut anything?**
A: no cutting or drilling necessary. my dad installed mine in about 45 min. if you hav a 4-door i do think you have cut a small place in the padding above the door in order to place the screws. love mine, do not regret at all buying this product.

**Q: Can you leave open at highway speeds?**
A: You can leave it open at high maxing 75-80 and I have included the link below:https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01CACYCXQ/?seller=A26FDUJGRDJMV6

**Q: Will this fit a JL 2018 unlimited?**
A: No it will not, the part number for the Sunrider for Hardtop for the JL is 52452-35.

**Q: 1st time jeep owner. So please dont judge but Can you use just this with hardtop off or is it all or nothing?**
A: Yes you can use it without the hardtop, just make sure to remove the rear attach brackets in section 5 (page 8) of the instructions.  Those small brackets are there just to snug the Sunrider to the hardtop for a water tight seal.  Otherwise, the Sunrider is firmly held in place by the attachments at the b-pillar roll bar (the one your sound bar is attached to) and at the windshield by the header latches that clamp down on the footman loops just above/in front of the sun visors.  

I run the Sunrider like this Spring, Summer, and Fall.  I can even flip it open just like when the hard top is attached.  When you go to put the hard top back on just make sure to re-install the rear attach brackets for a water tight seal.

The above was all obvious to me when I first installed the Sunrider.  The attachment points that hold it to the Jeep have nothing to do with the hard top, once again the rear attach brackets are just there to push the Sunrider down on the hardtop to squeeze the seals and keep water out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely worth the money!!!
*by A***R on March 30, 2021*

I was super hesitant to get this after hearing from some how hard it was to install and nightmare leaking stories. Well I got mine. The first nice day we had got it put on. The directions were very useful. The only big problem that we had was some of the bolts did not want to catch. With some persistence, patience and making sure the holed are lined up perfectly all went well. The first place I went was to the car wash, mine is a 2010 and leaked a little normally around the freedom panels from time to time. As I went through the wash prepared to get soaked... only 2 drips came in when going through the dryer! I don't think we will have winds like that any time soon. Opening and closing is super easy I have to use both hands but I have a bad shoulder so for anyone else it should be a breeze! Best investment, quality product, small amount of road noise change and almost completely water tight the seals are pretty impressive. Over all I would give 4.5 because of the slightly tedious installation. I love it!!!
