Alien sunshade - in green?

[ShadowsPapa]

I see a picture of green but can't find anything other than red or black or whatever for the JT

I have a Bestop sunrider and need a screen for when it's open.
In another thread, I am told the alien shade works with the sunrider on the JT (how it attaches up front I'm unclear on - the Spiderweb sunshade requires clips on the windshield frame area)

They have no contact info, seem to ONLY sell on Amazon, extremely limited options.

The spiderweb sunshade you lower the windshield, and clips go on the front edge of the "roll cage", then put the windshield back up. (no removal without lowering the windshield again)
The issue is that it makes it really hard to get to the freedom panel latches, and of course, then the sunrider latches as well.
People suggested alien - but I can't find any info on how they hook up front.
And - do they interfere with the 2024/2025 AIR BAGS on the bar up there?

I would love this color of green if it would work with the sunrider on a '25 (and could figure out how it clips to the windshield area)

Any ideas - how to find other colors? Do they sell other than Amazon?
This would be a great green for the mojito I have.

I just bought 2 Spiderwebshade bikinis, one for my 24 JL and one for my wife's 24 JT. They fit PERFECT! Now they have aluminum washers for the 24-25s instead of the white plastic. I ordered on Amazon and they came in quick. They were the ONLY company that confirmed a change in design for the 24-25 side curtain airbags, all the others said no they wouldn't work. I get no flapping on the freeway, I just love them.

Are they in the way when installing Freedom Tops? Mmm.. Sorta. I have still been able to easily remove and install the tops with the shade in place several times over the last two weeks.

The 4 windshield clips were easy to deal with.

I would not hesitate to purchase the Spiderwebshade bikinis again. They are awesome.

See pic below. 1 is for the non-side curtain airbags (23 and below), 2 is for the side curtain airbags (24+), 3 was an interim use (temporary) for the 24+ while they were finding a supplier to make them in metal.

I had the Spiderweb sunshade in my 22 (actually in my 2020 and moved it to my 22).
I left it in the 22 when I traded because it was blue and I wanted something that would allow closing and latching the sunrider without being in the way. I figured that the sunshade from Spiderweb was so much trouble with the freedom panels it wouldn't be that great for the sunrider latches.

They almost need to allow some more space to access the latest of the panels, or the sunrider.

I purchased the Alien sunshade(black) via Amazon late last winter in anticipation of installing it in my new Gladiator once the summer and warm weather came round. Unfortunately on the first warm weekend I attempted to install and there were some bungees missing from packaging so I never got around to installing. Since the 30 day return had passed I was SOL from Amazon. I tried to research the company to get direct help but as you noticed they have no way to contact directly and their whole outfit seems a bit shady(pun intended).
While searching for replacement bungees I found a NIB green for sale on Ebay for 30 bucks and purchased. ( I too like the green). When I went to install I realized the bungees were around the side curtain airbag cases and would inhibit deployment. I swapped the shorter side bungees for longer and was able to mount them on either side of the side curtain assemblies and left the center grommet/bungie uninstalled. I could not install the rear shade as it only has side mounts.
I believe that is why they are not listed as compatible for '24, '25 Gladiators - that was my mistake for not noticing and I can't fault Alien. The product seems good quality however I'm not that big a fan of the bungie system. Especially having to force them between the winshield and front frame. In addition I wished they had little cutouts for the softop release clamps. Not a dealbreaker but a bit inconvenient.

I have a Bestop sunrider and use Shadeidea...... i checked Amazon and they have a green
* i just realized that the kit i have says till 2023......worth checking with the company to see if they have a kit for the 2025.

For what it's worth, I was able to find it for the 2020-2023 Gladiators. It's possible they don't make it in green anymore and just have that image left over from when they did.

Here's a green one on eBay for the earlier models: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1266712014...7290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=126671201405
