Description:
This mesh sunshade for Jeep Gladiator JT helps reduce cabin heat and glare so passengers stay more comfortable during long drives or parked stops. It blocks about 90% of sunlight according to the manufacturer, and it also cuts UV exposure to protect skin on hot days.
Key Points
The shade fits 4-door Jeep Gladiator JT models from 2018 to 2023 and installs quickly without tools. Materials include a vinyl-coated polyester mesh designed to be strong and breathable, which lowers interior temperature and lets air pass to reduce buffeting. The design keeps out leaves and small debris while you drive on trails or gravel roads, and the reinforced grommets and bungees are meant to hold up under regular use. 🌞
This top shade is lightweight to carry and stores in the included pouch. The package includes bungees and a premium oxford zipper bag for transport. Colors are available in multiple options and the product you receive may include a pouch in a different color than the mesh.

Usage Recommendations
Install the mesh by attaching the bungees to the allocated anchor points on the Gladiator roof rails, making sure each grommet sits securely. When driving at higher speeds, check tension and re-seat any loose bungees as needed to reduce flapping and noise. This shade works with the hard top in place so you do not need to remove it when switching roof configurations. 🚙
Consider that the mesh is rated to withstand normal outdoor use but it is not designed to support extreme loads. The manufacturer states a maximum static load around 150 pounds under ideal conditions, so avoid jumping or placing heavy objects on the shade. For extended off-road exposure, inspect the bungees and grommets periodically to ensure continued fit and function. 🧰
Advantages
The main benefit is lower interior temperatures and reduced UV exposure while preserving airflow through the cabin. The reinforced edges and double-needle stitching aim to add longevity, and the orange color option offers a distinctive look that stands out on trails. Wind noise reduction is noticeable in many user reports, helping to make open-roof driving quieter and more pleasant.
