JKU Front & Rear Sun Shade

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!

“This is a great product! Super easy to install, works exactly as described, and does a great job keeping the direct sunlight out. We haven’t even put the top back on because we like it so much!” Highly recommend!!

If you're this far down the page, then you're as careful a buyer as I was. You scrutinize your purchases because you want to find the best possible product and identify any concerns before committing your cash.Well, you can be confident in this purchase.My expectations are always high when shopping, and this case was no different. This shade is well-made. It had no imperfections in the fabric, no tears, marring, mis-stitching. Nada. At first we thought they had accidentally left out two of the predominant bungee cords, but it was our error in our haste to assemble it. The instructions were fairly clear though the diagram could be improved on (to your graphic designer: consider color coding your lines to the 3 different bungee sets). Installation went very quickly. The only snag you might encounter is where the 2 longer bungees go over the roll bar... I pushed mine through the area around the metal bar but between the plastic for those longest cords, and for the shorter inside rear cords, rather than going through the giant hard-top screw holes (which felt a little rougher and I didn't want to risk them rubbing/cutting the cords) I went around the bar as well. The fit was perfect inside the frame with negligible gap. The effect while driving is fantastic. It's not quite hot and sunny enough here to test its limits, but I'm looking forward to seeing how much shade it provides while maintaining that open air drive... and maybe then I can stop carrying beach towels to cover my seats when I park!Also note: When putting your soft-top back UP, you will have to disconnect two of the three front bungees. I think it actually looks very nice on the inside with the top up and this installed as it creates an additional layer between you and the elements.
