Alien sunshade ..... is mine messed up?

[RIDERED67]

I installed this yesterday and it doesn't seem quite right. There's so much tension on it that the corners are distorted. The instructions sucked.

Does anyone else's look like mine?

Thanks!

Something’s amuck. Is the front on the back and the back on the front?

Looks like you started at the back and worked forward. Mine was tight as hell when i put it on. I broke one of the bungees.

You got a jt/JL version right???

No I thought that might be the case too but they're in the correct places

Nah I started at the front

Yes

Just a guess but I dont think your side bungees (closest to the sound bar) are installed correctly...I believe they are supposed to go around the sound bar at each far end, this would tighten it up considerably...

I'll look on mine and see where the front bungees on the back piece go. I've got that same item.

That would be awesome!

Looks like the two bungees around the sound bar need to be right up against the speaker pods.

Probably not perfect but for reference. I agree, the paper instructions at least kind of sucked.

Wow sorry I had a senior moment. I have the Shadeidea not Alien (no idea why I mixed them up in my head, must've crossshopped them?). Hopefully the bungee pictures potentially still help.

I had this exact problem with that exact Shadeidea set a week or so ago. Same as you, I followed the crap instructions, which got me nowhere. I tried adjusting the rear bungee in every way I could, but it never lined up nicely. I ended up returning it.

There needs to be a rear bar or something to counter the tension of those front-facing bungies. The JT just isn't set up well for this design.
