Default Bikini top question

Does anyone know if a Bikini top (any brand since they all seem to have to use the header channel), or something like a Dirty Dog Sunshade will work with the smittybilt overhead console?

I love my safari top from Best Top. Although you need a header channel. It is quiet and leak free at the dash. They're on sale through Quadratec.

I really do like the look of the sun shades and the bikini tops. i'm just not sure if i can do that header channel with the overhead console since the console replaces that center hook on the windshield.

Just installed the spiderwebshade this weekend. By far the best top I've seen. Great addition to the jeep.

I've been running a SpiderWeb top for about 3 weeks now.

1) Theres a ton of shade created by this mesh top.

2) Its easy to install

3) Its quiet in my jeep with the windows up I can use the U Connect pretty well


Im happy with the money spent ( although you could make one cheaper…I was not willing to put the effort in to do it) Hope that helps out.

I've had my spiderweb since April. Love it and will never have another jeep without one. The first week I took the top down I sunburned my head, got the spiderweb and can drive all day without worry.
