Key Features & Benefits

• Reinforced Mesh Construction — Durable mesh fabric reduces glare, heat, and wind noise, delivering a more comfortable open-top driving experience without blocking airflow.
• Full-Length Coverage — Spans windshield frame to rear sport bar crossbar, protecting both front and rear passengers simultaneously — perfect for families and groups.
• No-Header-Channel Design — Built-in elastic straps eliminate the need for a windshield header channel required by competing products, simplifying installation dramatically.
• Sewn-In Bungee Cord Attachment — Attaches securely to your Wrangler's roll bars via integrated bungee cords, keeping the shade firmly in place at highway speeds.
• Factory Top Compatibility — Retains access to the Jeep's OEM top clamps, so the shade can remain installed while using your factory soft top or hard top freedom panels — no need to remove it before putting your top up.
• Year-Round Readiness — Leave it installed all year long so you're always ready for an impromptu topless cruise on a sunny day.
• Tool-Free, Modification-Free Install — No drilling, cutting, or permanent modifications required. A true bolt-on (strap-on) accessory.
• Compact Storage — Rolls up and stows in the included mesh carrying bag, small enough to tuck into any Jeep storage compartment.
• 5-Year Limited Warranty — Backed by Rugged Ridge / Omix-ADA's industry-leading 5-year limited warranty for long-term peace of mind.

Specifications

Fitment & Compatibility

The Rugged Ridge Eclipse Full-Length Sun Shade (13579.71) is a direct-fit accessory designed specifically for 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited (JLU) 4-Door models. It is compatible with both soft top and hard top configurations (when freedom panels are removed). It is not compatible with the 2-door Wrangler JL — see part 13579.72 for the half-shade option or consult Rugged Ridge for 2-door fitment. If you have a 2018 model year Wrangler, confirm whether your vehicle is a JL or the previous-generation JK before ordering.

Is this compatible with the Jeep Gladiator? This specific part (13579.71) is designed for the Wrangler JL 4-Door. For Gladiator applications, please verify fitment with Rugged Ridge directly.

Installation

Installation is a straightforward, tool-free process that takes only minutes — no professional installer required. Simply drape the full-length shade between the windshield frame and the rear crossbar of your JL's sport bar, then secure it using the sewn-in bungee cords on the roll bars and tighten the integrated elastic straps. No windshield header channel is needed. Because the shade retains access to the factory soft top clamps, there is no need to remove it before raising your factory top. When not in use, roll it up and store it in the included mesh bag.
