Same for me, no problems. I bought it when I still had my Tundra. I like the Jeep UI enough I stick with it most of the time.
A different adapter was just announced, but my AAWireless adapter works just fine.

I was driving through downtown Wilmington, NC in my supercharged Nissan Frontier years ago when it was practically new. A guy weed eating kicked up a rock and did the same thing to the same window. I think I had State Farm and they covered it all.
I had a small amount in both footwells this weekend around Boone. Thought maybe it hadn't dried out from the day before, but that probably wasn't the problem.
Started with a Bright White Overland model. Lots and lots of mods as you're finding out. Went with Rubi Takeoff rims and DuraTracs at OEM size. Pleased so far.
Just got back from a trip to Boone, Cade's Cove and Townsend area while coming back through Cherokee. Saw a lot of Jeeps, even Gladiators (some rentals), especially around Townsend. Parked with a few and went topless for the first time.
Finally a cheap mod. A couple of gladdy boards. Painted black and sprayed plastidip on the ends. Did the software update. It started when I pulled in the driveway and left it running until finished so as to avoid any possible problems.
