Just purchased the Clearlidz top for my. JTR

[Jonny A]

Just purchased it from Quadratek. Gotta wait for June 13th shipping date. Seems expensive, but I am hoping it makes a huge difference in my daily driving experience. Seeing so much more.

Any one else on here get one? I looked at the pros for it. Was hoping to see cons, but saw none. I would just like to know what negatives I may need be aware of.

I will not be using it in winter. Were I see a lot of crusty snow that I imagine would scratch the hell out of it.

With out a head liner it will probably more noisy too. But that is just an assumption.

Those look pretty sweet! Hadn't seen that.

Yeah, the price is for sure a big con.. almost spit out my coffee.

Other than that, in the last ride, I'd often leave my sunroof uncovered but closed, can get quite hot... was nice to have the option to cover it back up.

Tagged. Considering getting one but just got a sunshade for summer. Not sure how or if the clear lid would play nice with the JTops sunshade

Had one on my JK Rubi, only downside is it would leak from one of the grommets which attaches to the bars.

I Wil need to keep an eye on that. Thanks for the heads up.

Update?

I’m thinking of one for winter cause I usually always have the sunroof shade open and am not going to like having the top on for 6 months

This looks very cool. No pun intended. ha.

Like Roth said. I see this as even more useful for winter.

I wish someone made regular replacement freedom panels but out of this clear plastic

This just wouldn't work in Texas in summertime. It would turn the inside of the cab into an oven.

The price tag is the only con for me - were it about half that, I might consider it. I could use it several months out of the year here in AZ (not the hotter ones, of course), but from October through March, I could see this being a great option. Would like to see pics once received and installed (I know, I know - Quadratec site has some pics already...) I'd also be interested to hear about performance - clearness of plastic and view, scratch resistance, leakproofness (I made that word up), etc.

Someone at work brought this up yesterday, and yeah, I'd like to see how long it stays clear before the sun takes it's toll. Might be an interesting change, just with paint matching the sides.

And probably melt the clear panels like my old cassette tape covers and tapes on the dash.

My first thought here as well. It's bad enough with just the hard top.

Ive watched a few videos on YouTube. It seems nice. It’s actually pretty tinted/dark looking at the top but looks decently clear from inside. It is also uv coated.

my use would basically be fall to spring once it’s too cold to take the top/doors off. The cost is crazy. Mine came with a hard top. For pretty much even money I can get a soft top for summer, or this for winter
