Default Looking at getting a spiderweb shade

I was really interested in buying one for my four door but I'm installing my 50" light bar and hmf mounts next week and have heard the horror stories on wind noise and turbulence with a soft top. Does any one have any experience with a spiderweb shade and 50" bar!

I run the spidershade and a 50 lightbar. I don't find that there is any turbulence. That being said the bar is loud no matter what top I run. I have tried the do it yourself fixes. None worked for me. Although some days it howls at every speed except 70, while some days it howls at every speed above 35. On rare occasions it stops making noise after 40. After having it a while, it is just background noise to me.

Lol thanks for the reply! I'm really looking forward to the light bar and at the same time terrified of the light bar if that makes any sense. I'm thinking with a three year old in the back the sunshade will be my next mod. Planned on buying hood lovers next but I feel her comfort is a lil more important.

The sunshade is nice, but it still lets some UV rays in, so make sure and put sunscreen on your three year old.

I run the spiderweb shade in the summer time with a light bar, no issues. I usually run with headphones in once I take the doors off so it makes a pleasant breezy experience. With the doors on and shade on the top, it doesn't seem to make anymore noise or shake the top then when there was no lightbar.
