I purchased MEK for my 2020 Gladiator in July of this year. I have to admit it was a beautiful addition and where ever I went, I received complements, thumbs up and positive feedback. But in the end, I am very disappointed and dissatisfied. Since my purchase, I have been wheeling in Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah. I am a member of the FMCA 4 Wheelers, a very active group of off road enthusiasts..
Now, let me tell you about my experience with MEK. First, the product is not easy to install, it takes about an hour for the install. Removal is difficult and storage is a nightmare. The product does save your vehicle from the off road pin striping, but it has reached a point that after a days ride on a dusty trail, I have to remove the MEK Magnet from the Jeep, wash and dry the product and reapply it in the morning. If I don't, dust forms along the sides and seeps down in between the Magnets and the body of my gladiator.
If it rains, the water finds its way in between the Magnets and the gladiator. A few weeks ago, we were in Moab, it rained and I was tired after a 8 hour day of wheeling. I didn't take the MEK Magnets off the jeep and overnight, the temps dropped into the 20's. This caused some of the edges to turn white.
I have several pieces that corners no longer stick to my Jeep and along the way, two smaller pieces have gone MIA.
I have written and sent pictures to MEK, and the reply was; to remove the panels and wash with a mild detergent. For the past 4 plus months since I bought the Magnets, during our off road events, about every other day, I remove the Magnets, wash them, dry them overnight and reapply. What a major inconvenience, and at the end of the event, I remove them, roll them up and store the panels in the back of the gladiator.
Friends, the concept is great, they do save your vehicle from pinstriping, but the inconvenience of applying, removing, washing, drying and reapplying is not worth it.
The product is expensive and in my opinion, not worth it.
