I'm looking to get another sunshade tope for my Bronco before the Texas heat kicks in. I had the GearShade mesh sun shade top, but threw it out after one of the bungees broke. It was also annoying to have those balls, attached to the bungees, banging the interior.

I'm contemplating on getting the Rough Country Bikini Top Plus. Any thoughts on this one or alternatives?

I have on from Dirty Dog 4x4. I had one with the bungee and it flapped so bad in the wind. This one has straps that you can really pull tight so it's so much better.

If you search their site they also have a headliner but only for the soft top. Good thing is that they use the same clips as the sunshade so it would be easy to swap. I don't have it but the reviews seen good.

Perfect! I’ll probably go with that one

I just ordered a dirty dog sunshade the other day, shipped today... looks to be well made, and unlike JTops, they have a Canadian warehouse :)

The Jtop one can be left on under the hardtop unlike this dirty dog. So if you have a hard too take that into account. Soft top you can go either way.

I now see you have a soft top. I’ll leave this here for others though.

I'm pretty sure the DIrty Dog shade can be left in place as well, you just have to order the one built to be used with the hard top

Ahhh I followed the link and I guess it went straight to the soft top one. But their write up says hardtop users will have to remove it to put hardtop back on.

Assuming you have this installed now? How is it? Particularly wondering about the front with no attachment in the middle. Is flapping not too bad?

Doesn't flap at all, at least not speeds at or around 70mph, or at least not that I noticed.

The only downside I've found so far is they went from metal brackets to 3d printed ones. They work fine, but it seems like a cost cutting measure more than an improvement. I cracked one during install (they didn't list any torque spec for the fasteners, and I didn't think I was putting an unreasonable amount on it)
