Spiderweb Shade with Trektop NX??
- Thread starter SmokinV10

I run the two together but it takes a bit of finesse to work around the ties.
For me I guess it's just laziness. I like to flip the top back but at the same time the Mrs can't do the direct sunlight for too long. Maybe it has stretched a bit since the first install, but I cringe at the thought of fighting that fight each time I want the top back.
Ah, got it. It's so you can open up and still have some shade. That's what I was wanting to know, thanks.

What ridge said. Slight manipulation of the ties around the header latches and you'll be fine.
I too have left both on because riding from San Francisco to Santa Cruz can't have quite the fluctuation in temps and sunlight conditions. Start the day at a comfortable 74° with the top back, then crest the mountains and its 58° along the PCH from Half moon bay to Santa Cruz causing me to seal her back up. Then crossing Los Gatos, heading home, it could hit 100° and blistering direct sunlight before returning to 74°. All in a couple hour span.

So nobody is actually answering the question. I have the same issue with the center straps attaching to the soundbar. I discussed this with Spiderwebshade. They seemed to be aware of the issue and offered to install the necessary grommets to run the straps through. So I shipped it back to Spiderwebshade. Got it back and yes, there's two new grommets, but they're too small to pass the strap buckles though. So that was a fail. Now, Spiderwebshade is sitting in a box on the floor. I like it, but can't use it with Trektop NX.

Like all have said above... put on your big boy pants and figure it out. It takes some finagling from the sounds of it but if you first use your eyes, then your brain and lastly your hands... it can be done.

Welcome to the WAYALIFE.
How about stopping by the Give us a Wave thread and introduce yourself seeings how you have been a memeber for 2 years and this is your first post. Here is the link http://wayalife.com/forumdisplay.php?11-Give-us-a-Wave
Actuall the question as been answered. You can run both with a slight adjustment of the bungee cords and connecting straps to the front windshild. I ran both for almost a year with the only annoyance is the shade not being tight enough to keep from brishing against my my hair. I am 6'3".

The original post has the spyder shade already to my understanding but I could be wrong.

Oh yeah my bad........
Step 1.) Grab a knife and a cold beer.
Step 2.) Fold your Trek Top back.
Step 3.) Open your beer and take sip.
Step 4.) Using the knife cut two (2) slits in the SpiderWebShade mesh just above the leading edge of the sound bar where the Trek Top straps are located on the Trek Top.
Step 5.) Take another sip of beer.
Step 6.) Fish the Trek Top straps through the SpiderWebShade mesh and connect with the hook end strap provided with the Trek Top.
Step 7.) Take another sip of beer.
Step 8.) Take the hook end straps and hook them to the sound bar as instructed in the Trek Top instructions and cinch them down.
Step 9.) Take another sip of beer.
Step 10.) Stand back and admire your work and finish your beer.
