I made it so the edging went right to the soft top door frames to cover that gap between the roll bar.. And for the back side of the mesh it goes over the rear roll bar! Used 12 grommets in totally!
Thanks op!

Very nice! I'm definitely getting a mesh top for this summer, I did a 4 hour road trip with no top or doors in 95 degree weather last summer.... this year I'll be riding in shade! Why build one for 37 when you can buy one for 40? Just a question.

If you buy the one for $44 you will have to use the required windshield channel and it's a pain in the back side to take off and on when changing tops, I am in the middle of a build right now and I bought 15 yards (enough mesh to build 3) off of eBay for $27 and I bought a roll (150 feet) of 2" seatbelt webbing off eBay for like $60, that gives me enough material for 3 units, built to my liking, for $90, and will not fray and will last as long as I have my jeep, and the best part is, it stays on no matter what top I'm running, just put it on and forget it, it's even there when I have my freedom top panels off!
