I'm so glad I jumped on this Sukemichi sunshade on Amazon. It's super easy to install, and I can confirm the mounting points and hook positions make it possible to safely install the hard top over the sunshade system. I only had to remove two bungee hooks from the front, which are on standby in the glove box. It's a game changer for top-off driving in the Texas heat!

Note: you can pull down the shade slightly to get your arm between the shade and hard top to secure the center latches. Very small inconvenience compared to the overall functionality I'm getting out of it.

Good to know. Waiting on my Outer Banks and want a shade for the heat of the summer. I saw this, but wasn't considering it because it didn't have zippers. But, I don't like the look of zippers. This top is clean!

Thanks. I've been looking for a solution where I can just leave it on and take the hard top on and off at will.

It was worth the effort
