Also, does it fit over the folded softop on the back?
It does it's job. I found it pretty awkward for one person to put it on and take it off the first time. I'm getting a little more used to it though. The first thing I noticed was that it was extremely tight! Especially when attaching it in the rear. It took me a while to realize that I should fold the mirrors in, LOL! Once I did that it was a little easier. It fits fine with the doors on but not sure if it would fit well in the back with a folded soft top. It's already tight as it is! It was real windy and rained a little last night and I park the Jeep outside so I was glad I had the trail cover!

Do either of you guys regret gettin mesh and not diamond? I'm getting a softtop for my birthday from my parents and I'm having some trouble deciding between mesh and the diamond black.

I have both, get the diamond black. On a really hot day the mesh does nothing to cool you down and keep you shaded. When its not scorching hot I would rather just run no top.

What I think I would like is the sunlighter fabric but they dont have it for the JK as far as I know.
