Revainrating 5 out of 5

As I plan to continue a good series of Jeep parts reviews in the future

****3/10/16- 2 days after installation This will probably be my most detailed review yet as I do plan to continue a good series of jeep parts reviews in the future. First, as always with Prime items, they arrived on time. It has been properly packaged in fully recyclable packaging. Taking a minute to read the installation instructions is a must as they will tell you which straps to use where. I actually convinced my fiancé to come out with me at 9pm after dark to arrange it with me. I have a 2010 JKU (4 door), currently only maximum freedom. 90% of this top was very easy to assemble. The rear angled elastic cords were a hassle** to install with the hard top, but we managed. If you don't have another person to help you AND you have a hard back shell, this becomes difficult, so change one of these problems. Overall, the original quality appears to be top-notch; Can't wait for the update to Summer AZ. I don't plan on wearing tight tops all summer long when it's hot, but whether this shade really helps keep the heat out remains to be seen. The fit is there - I was tempted to give three *** stars instead, but I think after a day or two in the sun they can tighten up. I will update later. A small howl can be heard behind my head while driving, but it doesn't sound like it's going to completely fail. You really lose that totally open vibe and he sits a little lower than I originally envisioned, but really, where else could he sit? I will say that my fiancee loves it and she doesn't have to wear her hair in a ponytail or a hat like she used to because the wind has dropped a lot. I think this value is currently due to the installation without brains and initial quality; I'll report on improved fit and durability later. From there I was able to upgrade to 3*** or 5***** stars. Thank you for reading.
