I added an Alien Shade with the Sunrider. Works great for my bald head.... Note, you either have testosterone or hair, can't have both!!!

and I have the same shade, cause we the smart ones...
I removed it when I put the Sunrider on, thinking I couldn't get around the clips.
I may just reinstall it.

I left it on and it works great. Just have to reach outside the door to open and close but opening is easy with window down, I open the door to close.
Yea, the SMART ones!!!

The twill is the better fabric, the factory soft Tonneu and the OEM Premium soft top are twill.
They say it's thicker and less noise than the Black Diamond, which I've heard referred to as 'sail cloth'.

I’m assuming you have the twill? Knowing that it’s the same as the tonneau cover (which I have) may force my hand to upgrade. Anyone got some good deals on them?? With the pop up storms here in Florida, I feel that this top is almost mandatory.

Extra nice!

EDIT: Womp womp. Looks like it can't be combined with the $100 gift card. Northridge accepts the coupon, but provides a $0.00 discount.

Hate to burst @Pat2Alaska's bubble but not so guilty while bursting "bubble boy @JP1 ":

"Testosterone plays a role in several body functions, including hair production. Balding is a natural part of aging for many men. While there is an inherited component to balding, men with low T may experience a loss of body and facial hair, as well."

I like them. I LOVE the look.
with that said, They a bit piggy and need some slimfast.

so if you get the 9.5" wide, they'll look like mine.
If you get the 12" wide ones they go deep.
