Default anyone with Spiderweb shade, got a question?

Just bought 1 for my 4 door I got the ultra mesh full shade. My question is how can you get to the freedom latches when this is installed or do I have to take it on and off each time when I put my hard top back on?

I had to take the front two bungees off and manipulate the shade to get the latches. Including wrapping te middle of the shade around the latch and turning it like a glove over something you don't want to touch

I have a soft top but have left the front two cords off for over a year where it attaches by the latched. No issues at all.

I love my Spider Shade, but I don't see leaving it on when my hardtop is on. I currently leave it on with my soft top, but not with the hardtop.

Cool. I actually switched my order to the shade that covers just the front. I rarely take my hard top off anyway.

Thanks

And it's not that I don't want to take the top off more but I don't have any way to do it solo that I feel safe enough with

I've run one for around 3 years and don' take it off when I put my hard top on. I undo the 2 small "spider balls" above my sun visors and just have the hard top latches fall between the shade and the windshield frame. Also, mine was one that didn't have factory holes in it for the screw in freedom panels. I got a kit and added them so the screws just go right through now.
