I agree. I am not a mechanic nor will i mod Jake like Eddie does his. But what little mods i do get will be ones Eddie has used. His install videos are easy to follow. However like Dirty Harry always says "a good man has to know his limitations". When i go to have the rock lights and cb wiring done i will have to go to a dealer or something. No way i trust myself with that.
Hahaha, I was following along step by step and got to the part about the additional loops and laughed out loud. Thanks for keeping it real and not redoing the video 🤘🏼
Got my spider web shade finally. We only got the 2 door one cause i do not ever see us taking the rear top off. Followed your guide step by step. The front corners of the windshield and the rear 2 corners where the hardest to install. The front 2 corners kept popping off when i stretched the shade out. I knew the rear 2 would be a PIA cause my hands and fingers are big and it was tough snaking the loop under the roof and above the roll cage. I got everything on nice and snug. Now we are going to take the rough off for the 1st time when we go visit Jake's (the dog i named my jeep after) grave tonight. Thanks for all your videos Eddie they make the install easier than the instructions do.
I just picked up a shade for our JK, Until now we've been using a bikini top which is great to block the sun but as you said, also blocks the view. Thanks for sharing, this is nice clean look and doesn't hinder the function of the top or no top abilities!
Just ordered! I have to say, amazing company to order from, I had a question and in less than a hour, an answer! Like wow, crazy fast customer service. I am already impressed by their response and can’t wait to receive the product.
Wayalife And it already shipped! Amazon has nothing on spiderwebshade, haha. I hope they come out with the rear cargo shade, like on the JK. I would love to have my cooler in the shade.
Perfect video. My wife saw it and got me the Spiderweb top for my birthday. We watched the video and had it installed in no time. Love your videos. Great job. fyi - mine had felt on the back plastic buttons so as not to scratch the paint. That’s pretty cool (although I still applied the adhesive 🤷🏻♂️)
Just wondering if you've ever come accross a bikini top that is a hybrid soft top that uses the OEM or aftermarket door surrounds that give you protection from the wind, but also has an open feeling with the perforations of the typical sunshade. Seems like BestTop used to make one for the JK.. but it still was very flappy. Seems this would be a product perfect for the Wrangler.
Looks great! I'd like to get something like this for my '24 JLUR but I have the side curtain air bags. I'm trying to find the best sunshade for the '24s.
Always impressed! You have every trinket and tool! Question. Can you place the hard top back on with the shade still in place? Lol! Never mind! I almost missed the end where you answer this! Lol!
Awesome Video! I noticed at the end you have an overhead CB radio mount. Ive been search for a good overhead CB mount! Is the one in the video custom made or aftermarket?
I make and sell the mount that you see. I have a video for it coming out next week but you can see it in greater detail and order one here: jlwrangler.com/showthread.php?1969-CB-BAR-Jeep-JL-Wrangler-NO-DRILL-NO-CUT-Overhead-CB-Radio-Mount-NOW-AVAILABLE!
Are the loops really so tight you can’t pull them on with just a finger? Is the strap really necessary? Nice that they include the protective tape for the paint!
It's not that they're so tight but rather, it's kind of tricky to get them around the spider nubs being that there's so little space between it and the plastic trim. The loop just makes it easier.
There were issues early on or at least in the rear as there were 2 plastic pieces that dug into the paint. It is my understanding that they've resolved this issue and provide a protective film just to make sure it doesn't do damage.
Wherever you went at the tail end of the video was beautiful! I got the 2 piece alienshade and it hasn’t been too bad. Biggest issue I’ve had which I imagine it would be the same with the spider shade that being 6’2” my head constantly rubs against it but otherwise something nice when having the top off.
Thanks for another great install video! Looks like a great sunshade. Just wondering: do you think Spiderweb could improve on it by increasing the width so the material extended past the inside edge of the roll bar? (To eliminate the gap between the roll bar and sunshade.) Thanks for your time.
I love your videos! Do you think GPCA grab handles would interfere with the spiderweb shade? I don’t have my shade on yet and am about to order the GPCA grab handles but saw that someone posted some grab handles on FB market place because they interfered with his sunshade. I messaged him but got no response. What are your thoughts? Thank you in advance
I live in Florida and it is hot here but cool to ride near the beach wit the top down. I definitely need this. Please hook me up Wayalife!!! By the way, love it when you slam stuff on the metal table. It seems to be your thing is your videos. 👍
@wayalife nice installation. Why did you go with Spiderweb? I've been comparing spiderweb vs Dirty Dog shade which is 2 pieces I believe. Do you have to remove the shade if you want to reinstall the complete hard top?
If you watch the video to the end, you will see where I reinstall the freedom top panels over the Spiderweb Sunshade. The rest of the top goes on without any issues.
So i know we briefly talked about, the jl and Moby being the lsjk. I think and would love a video dedicated bc i really need some advice and i bet plenty of people are in same boat as me, we would,like and yes i am speaking,v for a lot of us. We want a real comparison to Moby and jl, which one drives Better on and off road. Which one do u prefer. Money spent on ls swap compared to buying new jl. The works and full comparison of the two vehicles.
There really is no comparison between the two or at least, at this point and time. If performance is what you're wanting, Moby has it all day and night. If new and pretty is what you're wanting, Jet owns it.
I'm digging your videos. I got a question though, could enlighten me or make a video how you set up your cb radio by the windshield? I've got an older cobra 25 Ltd st and wanted to install it but wasn't sure how to. Thank you.
I make and sell the CB mount. You can see and buy it here: jlwrangler.com/showthread.php?1969-CB-BAR-Jeep-JL-Wrangler-NO-DRILL-NO-CUT-Overhead-CB-Radio-Mount-NOW-AVAILABLE!
put mine on about 1yr ago - have you noticed any additional wind noise? looks like the windshield still sits flush enough, even with the chords there...
Thanks for another totally bitchin great video.!.! I first saw this shade vis-a-vi Litebrite. Fun fact Kevin and Brit are working the Rubicon currently.
It does not flap at high speeds. Early on, there was an issue with the plastic tabs at the back of the top wearing through the paint on the c-pillar roll bar but they now provide a protector for that.
How much of a pain is it to put on and take off the freedom panels with the shade on? If one had a shade with an image on it is that noticeable from the inside looking up?
@@wayalife Thanks for the feedback and also thanks for sharing your love and knowledge on all things regarding Jeeps. Your videos are first rate to say the least.

You can keep it on as a permanent fixture but we removed ours when we installed our soft top. Hasn't been nice enough out yet to take the top off again.
The mesh tops are nice in that they still have an open air 'feel' and still do a pretty good job of keeping the sun off of you and therefore, help you to stay cool. A traditional bikini top that is solid is nice in that they offer full shade and even a little protection from something like a sudden summer rain shower.
I think Spiderweb just utilized what the JL had and improved on their design. If the JK came with trim screws, I'm sure they could do something for it as well.
Eddie...you have the best channel on UA-cam for us everyday Jeep guys. The content is relevant and easy to follow and well edited.
I appreciate that! Thank you

Mmmm! No money.....I still enjoy my baby (jk)...more video to come n God bless.
I can't wait til they come out with shades for the Gladiator.
Agreed! That will be awesome :)
Great product if you live in an area that has no rain for months here in florida where it rains every afternoon it would not be practical
Just put your soft top up over it, takes 2 minutes on JL. Very practical.
Great video! Any suggestions on how to pop a softtop open with the shade on?
I am sorry but I've never done it before so I couldn't say for sure.
Always impressed! You have every trinket and tool! Question. Can you place the hard top back on with the shade still in place? Lol! Never mind! I almost missed the end where you answer this! Lol!

There were issues early on or at least in the rear as there were 2 plastic pieces that dug into the paint. It is my understanding that they've resolved this issue and provide a protective film just to make sure it doesn't do damage.
Nice garage dude! I’m buying one right now, thanks!
LOL!! Awesome that your weather is nice enough to think about one right now :)
@@wayalife very true! I need to buy a lift and tires now so I can jeep up to the high country when it gets hot... your jeep is badass dude!

I just ordered the spider web small version that covers just the front seat. I am 6'6 so i guess my head will be rubbing. Lol
Love Eddie's videos. I'm first time Jeep Owner & this channel is my go-to about all mods.
How has it held up since install & how is it on highway?
Oh, this thing has held up great. Maybe not the cheapest shade but they stand behind their product.
@@wayalife awesome! Ordering now. How does it hold up on highway?
Thanks for another great install video! Looks like a great sunshade. Just wondering: do you think Spiderweb could improve on it by increasing the width so the material extended past the inside edge of the roll bar? (To eliminate the gap between the roll bar and sunshade.) Thanks for your time.
The gap isn't that big especially being that the plastic trim is so wide but I'll have to pass that along to Spiderweb.
@@wayalife Awesome, thanks for your input Eddie.
Looks great! Do you think the door seals will leak in the rain while pressing up against the cords on the door frames?
The cords are attached to the roll bar and do not make any contact with the door frames.
Awesome, thanks dude!
Great video. Do you think the loops will rub off the paint?
Don't know but so far, I haven't seen it be a problem.
Thank you for sharing. Beautiful view!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
You do amazing work

I messaged him but got no response. What are your thoughts? Thank you in advance
It's hard to say for sure being that I have not installed a set. Sorry.
I feel like the JK spiderweb shades are so much less complicated. But then again it’s not Spiderwebs fault.
I live in Florida and it is hot here but cool to ride near the beach wit the top down. I definitely need this. Please hook me up Wayalife!!! By the way, love it when you slam stuff on the metal table. It seems to be your thing is your videos. 👍

If you watch the video to the end, you will see where I reinstall the freedom top panels over the Spiderweb Sunshade. The rest of the top goes on without any issues.
right, I saw the freedom tops go back on; was just curious on the hard cover.
The hard top is the easy part. The freedom top panels is where you'd have problems but not with this top.
Just dope man! Super thumbs up!
Thank you, we're so glad you enjoyed the video :)
Definitely way more involved than the JK, but looks more secure and easier to install freedom panels.
The ease of reinstalling the freedom top panels is what I really like about this new design.
Love your videos! Thank you.
Glad you like them!
What about the hooks installed in the front. Any problems with windshield leaking?
Nope. At least, none that I've seen.
Never thought I wanted one of those, but now I do! How is Jet Li running on stock gears an axles with 37s?
Unlike the JK before, the all new 8-speed transmission does a great job of pushing my 37's and I feel no need to regear.
You can get the freedom panels back on - I assume you can then put the rest of the hardtop on, too without having to remove the shade?
Yes

Where the hell do you live? Just found out about your channel and have seen 2 videos and one was desert and one was a lush lake.
Seems awesome!
We love up in Carson City which is up in Northern Nevada
Looks like it works!
Does that road at the end have a name? Coordinates? Must experience!
The trail takes you up to Genoa Peak up at Lake Tahoe.
Can you still install and remove the freedom top or is it to much of a pain to deal with?
You can do it.
I need to look into these. Thanks
You bet :)
Get the one from GearShade and you don't have to mess with removing the screws from the windshield.
Umm, but I already got a Spiderweb SunShade. Hence, why I made a video about it. Removing the screws was no big deal to me.
Any long term use drawbacks? Does it flap at high speeds at all?
It does not flap at high speeds. Early on, there was an issue with the plastic tabs at the back of the top wearing through the paint on the c-pillar roll bar but they now provide a protector for that.
@@wayalife sweet thank you!!
How much of a pain is it to put on and take off the freedom panels with the shade on? If one had a shade with an image on it is that noticeable from the inside looking up?

Can you do this without taking the windshield down?
What about having your doors on? Can you still keep the sunshade on?
Yes, you can definitely run your doors and top on with this shade installed.
Did y’all do an install video of your CB? I went looking and didn’t see anything obvious...

Kind of late to the party, but can the shade stay on while the hard top is on?
Yup :)
So do the birds shit through that spider web looking thing? hehe I think I will get one but the solid one so I dont have to deal with birds.
Can you put your hard top on over that or do you have to remove it each time and re-Install?
With this top, you can install your hard top over it.
Can you leave this installed on a 2015 JKU and still put back on freedom panels and roof?
From what I understand, yes.
Thank you!
Is there anything out that is solid? If it were raining that would keep some water out?
Unfortunately and surprisingly, not as of yet. A bikini top or safari top is what I'd love to have as well.
@@wayalife A mesh top doesn't do me much good when it rains twice a week in WI.
LOL - I'm with you. We get summer rains all the time and it would be nice to have something solid. There just isn't anything available yet.
Do you still have it on? Do you keep it on as a permanent fixture to the Jeep with the top up?
You can keep it on as a permanent fixture but we removed ours when we installed our soft top. Hasn't been nice enough out yet to take the top off again.
@@wayalife Can it also stay on with the soft top?
@@Sean-sj4hv Not 100% sure but I would imagine not being that the door surrounds would be prevented from seating up against the roll bars.
I am trying to figure out how to put the 2 piece spider shade on my JLU. It comes with monkey balls that don't fit thru anything
Same. Did you figure out how to put them? i found a way but i don't like it as the hardtop can't be mounted this way.
What trail is that? We spend 10 days in Tahoe every August. My wife would love that view
Also wondering
do you have a video of taking off the soft top completely?
I am sorry but I do not. I think that Quadratec does though.
Is there a top I can get that will block rain should a storm pop up unexpectedly?
You'll want a bikini top or what some refer to as a bimini top. Even they won't be perfect but they'll help a lot more than this.
did you custom make the CB radio support or did you buy?
I make and sell them www.wayalife.com/store/proddetail.php?prod=PARTS-CB-BAR
wonder how mesh compares to solid ? or cargo netting
The mesh tops are nice in that they still have an open air 'feel' and still do a pretty good job of keeping the sun off of you and therefore, help you to stay cool. A traditional bikini top that is solid is nice in that they offer full shade and even a little protection from something like a sudden summer rain shower.
Does the seat belt strap slap around like they do in the JK with the doors off?
LOL! I haven't noticed it but on my JK, I did and used a velcro strap to secure it to the roll bar.
anyone using this with roll bar covers? if even possible since the attachments would be covered I believe? thanks
Can you still keep the Mopar grab handles if get this shade?
I think so.
Wish the spider shade for my jiu mounted that way. I have those damn plastic balls
I think Spiderweb just utilized what the JL had and improved on their design. If the JK came with trim screws, I'm sure they could do something for it as well.
can you leave these on with the hard top installed over the top?
Yes
My question was how noisy was it in the wind?
If anything, it's less noisy in the wind.
Does it flap with the wind?
Nope
What trail at end?
Why would they not make the spider nuts black!
They're just raw aluminum. You could easily paint them black or I'm sure you could be charged more to have them do it for you.
