Default Mesh Windows?

Is there such thing as an aftermarket set of zip-out windows with mesh? I'm wondering if there are windows out there that use a similar material to what Spiderweb Shades use.

I've never seen any commercially, but there are a couple of DIY mods on here where people have made their own with screen/mesh and heavy duty Velcro.

Bestop was making these for TJ's, but I've never seen a JK set.

Hmm...I wonder if I can just get someone's old, scratched-up/damaged zip-out windows, remove the clear/tinted material, and sew some mesh material onto the zip-out "frames". Anyone try this?

I had started a thread on this about a year or so ago but haven't found cheap enough victims yet.

It sounds nice, and I see the advantage of the free air, kinda like having the windows out, but nobody can just reach in and grab shit. They would have have to go through the same trouble as they would if the normal windows are in. I do like it. Not for where I am now, but if I moved it could be really nice.

I've got my first kid on the way. It would be kind of nice to have mesh sun protection all around to protect him from the sun. Maybe I'll just have to go with plan B, which is the Spiderweb 4-door top shade and the wrap-around cage shade.

Off subject, but....Does anyone know if the Spiderweb wrap-around cage shade can stay on with the soft top up? At first glance, it looks like the top hardware attached to the cage would get in the way as soon as the top is put up.
