My wife was used to just stepping in and sitting straight down on the passenger side so the top does restrict that and she has to come in from an angle now. No significant impact getting in and out on the drivers side with non-removable steering wheel (other than I have to slide at a bit more of an angle than I did before). My wife commented when she saw it in person that it was sort of like a mesh bikini top on a jeep (which would be another great thing I wish I had on my jeep back then). ![]() I had a Jeep in years past (until we had the 3rd kid and I ran out of places to put everybody). Removal is quick and easy and everything rolls up in a bag that fits in the storage compartment or behind one of the seats. My guess is that the frame of the quickshade is right in the air flow over the windscreen and the mesh fabric disrupts the flow smoothing it out. I still get air movement, but it is a lot cleaner coming in than it was before we added the quickshade. I'm running a F4 +5 windscreen and noticed a significant reduction in air turbulence when driving home after install which was a pleasant surprise. The mesh top does a great job of screening a majority of the direct sunlight to help with temps, but still allows you to be able to see the sky so it keeps the open cockpit feel. The minimalist design is exactly what I was looking for and the price was right. I picked up one at the Homecoming Rally a few months ago. OK, the QuickShade has been out a while now, how about some reviews? All that aside, I think I will give this a shot. I think with any roof I'm going to be limited on head room with helmet. Will possibly get the madstad adjustable at some point. ![]() Still have the factory ripper windshield. I'll wear one on the interstate to cut down the wind and debris hitting me in the face. Thanks! Not to many states around me require helmet. ![]() Here is a picture of someone who is 6.8 with no helmet. Add a helmet and at 6.8 you are at the very limits. The point being that the taller you are the closer you are to the mesh. Between the hoops has a little flutter at speeds over 75mph but have no effect on function. The mesh is held solid, in place, where it's attached to the hoops and has almost no flutter. I honestly cannot fix this with this product. I still believe taller people over 6.4 may still experience some headroom issues with a helmet. Jdymag132 it is a temporary top and is designed to attach to the top of the hoops so overall rear height is limited to this.
