Default Sun shade recommendations?

Hey everyone, I'm going to be ordering a sun shade for my 2012 2 door sport in the next couple days and I would like to hear some reviews on sun shades that y'all have. Do you recommend a mesh type to block out the sun only or a solid material that would repel water? I don't think something solid is necessary because I have the soft top on now. Also I would like to know if I should get the one that just covers the front seats or a sun shade that goes all the way to the back of the roll bar? Thanks in advance!

- Kyle

If you already have a soft top, I'd go with a mesh top to just block the sun. Here's a few thread to get you started. There are plenty more out there if you take a few minutes and search. Good luck with the purchase.

Default SpiderWeb Shade

I have the SpiderWeb shade and really like it. It blocks out the heat of the sun pretty well but still allows the air to flow.

After reading those reviews I'm leaning more towards the dirty dog top. I will continue doing more research nonetheless.

Trek Armor, it has a better fit then spider web and it blocks the sun out more.
I own both and will be selling the spider web on Craigslist
