Does anyone have any of the various sun shades for their Bronco and can give their thoughts/opinions? I was looking at the 2 that Bestop has to offer and of course the one Ford offers. Looking to block the sun a little while the top is back but still want to enjoy having the top back. Thanks!

Picked up a seven Sparta from Amazon and it was useable, not ideal but useable. This main issue with that shade was the ties to attach to the frame. It used the elastic rope with the ball attached through grommets, I noticed that no matter how tight you get the top to the frame it sags bad. There are no supports that attach to the rear of the roll bar and just kind of hangs there. Picked up the Ford mesh Bimini shade and it’s absolutely night and day difference. The static straps and the ability to tighten all 4 corners and the rear of the vehicle is required. My suggestion either go with the ford version or something that has straps over bungees and 100% something that attaches to the rear of the roll bar

JTops does customs so you could have this made at any time. Not sure if they would let you use the picture or not.
Is this one that they are thinking of releasing as a limited edition?

I just purchased and installed one that I got from ford with their recent sale. But, when arrived it said bestop on the box. Anyway, very happy with the product and quality. Although instructions sucked...lol.
Overall works great cuts down on sun for sure but still gives you that open feeling.

I purchased one from GearShade and fairly simple to install and has a relatively tight fit. Good buy for the money.
