Sky365 Roof Panel

[darkhorse13]

Hey friends,
I just saw this on IG over the weekend and checked here to see if any threads were started but found nothing. I think this looks very clean and my only comment would be that I'd like to see a detachable blackout screen or fabric on the underside... tint alone won't work for me personally. Any who, not affiliated with the company nor do I own one, just starting a convo here...

Yeah, I just looked it's nice. But I'm like you, ain't gonna work down here in Florida without some way to block that sun from beating down. It's bad enough as it is without adding even more of the lazer rays on my balding head, lol.

Mine should arrive in the next week or so. I’ll let you know what I find out/how good some additional UV Tenting works on blocking heat when parked.

To my knowledge it’s not coming with anything other than a storage bag. Could be wrong.

I had a similar product called the https://www.clearlidz.com/

It was doable in the Ohio Winter months but any other time it was not optimal. I liked the light it let in during the winter when it was sunny and 15 degrees outside. However, It will treat your cab like a greenhouse and make it extremely hot in the spring and summer months. Even in Ohio it was unbearably warm and ultimately, inconvenient. I also found it to be extremely noisy.

I leave my bestop on now in the winter because I've added the hothead head liner.

Good luck, I hope it works out for you.

$1700 is a bit steep. It does look slick though.

Just recieved it friday. No shade/interior cover was included. It definitely lets some more heat in that the freedom panels, but man does it make a difference in how the cab feels size wise. I am going to get a ceramic tent put on it to help cut down the UVs. Over the weekend the cab didn't get to hot when parked in 80 degree weather with full sun. Was about the same as any other car when you leave the sun roof shade open.

Only kicker is that they sent me the wrong color. I requested paint matched black, but ended up with matte black. Not the end of the world and they are working to resolve (make sure its wasn't operator error when I orderd).

Hey I’m looking into these and have the regular black hardtop on my jeep. Is the matte black sky365 actually textured like jeeps hardtop?

...or you can do the dumb thing like what I did to my JKU and ruin the (bleep) out of your roof all together

The matte black color is really close to the standard hardtop. The texture is not the same, but doesn’t bother me. Here’s a couple of pics.

Yes, I know it’s dirty.
