Sunshade that is not a PITA to keep under hard top

[GroovyGeek]

Is there ANY Bronco sunshade that is not a pain in the ass to keep under the hard top.

This was trivial with a Spiderwebshade on my Wrangler, undo a couple of bungees, put the panels back on, redo the bungees, done.

Each and every video I have watched for the Bronco is far more involved. What gives? Seems that the $40 Chinazon ones are the best in that respect.

I have a 2 door so this may be different but I put the spiderweb shade on with the hardtop in place and leave it on all the time. Same as the Wrangler I take the bungies of and on to put the front panels back.

I bought this cheapy on Amazon, and it turned out to be stupid good, especially for 40 bucks...

I got this one too, it’s fantastic! Very taught so it doesn’t flap in the wind. When I put the top back on I just unhook the front and roll it back. Works great.

Or you can pay 10X the price for suppozed Made in USA and get a PVC stench VOC off gassing one with made in CN fabric ....

BESTAOO Sunshade for Ford Bronco... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XCG3XPL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This is the one I got on Amazon. I love it. Just undo the fron two bungee cords and it fits nicely under the hard top. The hardest part is in the middle but with a little pressure the latches slide right in place.

Personally I like the Jtops because it actually goes edge to edge. Especially important in the front so there’s no glare peaking in. It’s also far more dense than the cheaper pure mesh and makes the interior far less hot. And I had it custom printed either with one of my dad’s photos. So for me well worth the money.

but the truth is it gets used 2x/yr since I have no garage and live in a city that is frequently chilly. If I lived elsewhere and had a big garage I’d probably leave the top off fulltime seasonally. It was an aspirational purchase that in hindsight makes little sense for my use. I do a ton of off-roading, but I’m not going to travel days on end with no top as it’s just not worth it to have my gear drowning in dust. For day trips in Sierra rock, yeah it’s great. But most other stuff it’s not. (Although it is cool for getting groceries. )

Interesting. From the spiderwebshade website: The SPIDERWEBSHADE Sunshade is a must-have for your Ford Bronco Solid Color Shade Top (2021-2026). Made in the USA, The Bronco sun shade must be removed when using a hardtop but can remain in place with a softtop.

Alien sunshade, normally $200 on Amazon

I bought this a couple weeks back, total was $52.00 after tax. They must just list 1 by 1 hoping to get a bidding war going. 7 hours left

Ford Bimini, comes in mesh or canvas, 2 or 4 door. I have the canvas under my 2 door top.

I was lucky and my dealership gave me a bestop “access Bimini” sunshade. Lots of people say it’s noisy but on my two door it’s nice and quiet. Does take a bit to install because there are a lot of tweeks you’ll need to made to get it just right, but for me it’s great! Has zippers so you can access the panel latches when taking them on and off, and folds back a little on the front for when the panels are on and snaps in place to keep it from bouncing around under the top. Does pretty good in decent rain too. If you live in a place where rain is unpredictable one day to the next.

I hear ya on the Velcro… but, it’s one time down on cage rails and it stays. From that point on, it’s great! The JTops is thicker, zero flapping, and great coverage, no gaps that straps around cage rails can’t provide.

I leave mine, unhook front clips and fold back about 1 foot. The latches are easy to reach and the zippers to expose rear latches are accurately placed. On BRaptor, it’s placed under the additional cross bar.

I’ve tried several styles (mainly on Jeeps) and JTops beat everything I’ve examined. The no flapping and tight fit are major and leaving it on is a great convenience.
