Doesn't seem really 4 door specific, but my 2dr spider shade has to be removed from the front to put the top on.

Are you talking about the SpiderWeb ShadeTop? If so, I have that on my 2-door, and yah, as Goodys said it's probably the same with the 4-door. When I put the soft top up, I just undo the two bungee straps in the front where the soft top latches on, and leave everything else on.

In the video, she uses a zip tie and cuts it off at the end. I have enough bungee (the three small ones) to use up front. Is that how it should be?

That's what I do. Three small ones up front.

Not really what he is asking. The top is sold as it is able to stay installed when the factory hard or soft top is installed as well. Since the spiderweb and the soft top hold at the same front hooks, there is no real way to keep the spiderweb from flopping around with those front two hooks not hooked up. He was asking how it was 'done' and both tops installed..

X2...
It doesn't flop around with these two bungees removed while the ST is on.
