They’re obviously expensive, but all I’ve heard is negative. Quality issues and they make your Jeep unbearably hot inside.

I like it. Use mine all winter once I put my hard top back on. It is however noisier for sure than the well insulated freedom panels. Feels very open and bright all winter with it on so it’s worth it to me.

No thanks. Sunrider is convenient, looks good and doesn't Leak! Oh yeah, $400 cheaper

Looks kewl, but not $1300 kewl. Doesn’t seem like something that you can just take off at the trail head. I do like the concept, and immediately wondered about an entire top for the JT ( not just the 2 freedom panels ). Alternatively, what about something that resembles a moon roof in the front and back? I really like being able to drive around with the mopar tube doors, but I still keep my top on b/c otherwise it gets too windy at highway speeds.

I was wondering almost the exact same thing… the modularity of these vehicles is incredible, someone could totally come up with a whole top that retracts or has alpine windows in it.

These are the most customizable vehicles in the world and people dish out pretty big money to make their Wranglers and Gladiators look different. Kinda wish I knew how to work with fiberglass right now!

It’s like no one on this forum has had a sunroof before… this won’t make your jeep much hotter than it already is. The last 2 cars before this had full glass roofs and they were just fine all summer. Aside from any quality issues, I would prefer this to the Sun rider. Letting the sunlight in on a day when you don’t want til he top off is a benefits most people don’t recognize until they get a sunroof.
You do you, and I’m sure you’ll be happy. Too many naysayers on this site to get any impartial opinions that actuall have experience with a product.

I just wish they would make the Sky One Touch for the Gladiator. Argument over!

I think it would be great in winter to have that open air feel and the vista, even in sub zero temps.

Sunroofs have a shade. It makes a huge difference if you don’t use it. I’ve had plenty of sunroofs.
