Okay, I installed all but the Windjammer piece today. Have to pick up my kids later. And the Windjammer piece does not allow entry to the rear seat from doors.
- Packaging was great. Even though this was a demo SpiderWeb does not slack in Customer Service. I have an SW1 that my G/F got me for Fathers day last year and each time shipping was fast.
- The fit is pretty good. I am a bit confused on the install on the top roll bar in front of the sound bar for the back half, but think I have it. Takes a little tweaking here and there to get it straight but no big deal. Printed instructions for the SW3 might be helpful for some folks.
- The Black grommets are big improvement over the brass.
- Still not impressed with the tie wrap for the front, came up with my own solution..
- Having owned the SW1 I am aware of the wind noise, which is minimal and I found no difference with the SW3 so far. I have yet to take it on a long drive down the freeway. But I am confident that there will be no change.
- The overall construction is good. There are a few corners that have pennants (or frays for non-military folk). That should be handled at production and QC. But overall I have no complaints. It’s a well made unit.
- I have to relocate my CB from the Sound bar (see 3rd pic down in group) so that I can install the Windjammer section. No big thing there either. I was thinking of doing that anyway.
- Not sure if I like the way the back piece comes down behind the seat. This is a personal thing. Maybe because I am used to the SW1 stopping 12?-14? above the seat. Maybe make a “shorty” version option that stops higher up like the SW2.
- To this point I am happy with what I have seen. Had the top down for a bit today but the weather is still a bit top upish . I am looking forward to installing the Windjammer. But will have to wait on the weather.
Took a few pics…
