When I took ownership of mine, the southeast corner screw was MIA. I ordered new. A week later I went to install my new K&N filter and yep, the southeast corner screw took a powder. Found it though...

Would it have been too hard or too expensive for Jeep to have clips to hold down the cover ???
That front right screw is a bitch. Can't see it and then when you get it moving can't feel it can't touch it, then you hear plinko. Damn it. I did learn last time, to start the screw before putting cover on, because my fat hand can't get in there otherwise

Or captive screws.

In prep for rocker the armor install, had to remove 6 badges and clean up old adhesive from the old rock sliders steps. Then loaded a few things and hooked up the trailer and drove to grand junction. Picking up rock sliders tomorrow. They’re so long, the trailer was the best method. But ridiculous otherwise.

Installed one more thing, but can’t share yet, as I was testing them for someone. Nothing earth shattering, and will be able to share soon.

I got completely lucky with parking. The only spot left to for the trailer, and my room is directly above.

Yeah mine is only held on by 3 screws.

Pulled all of my wiring, removed ditch lighting, removed rear seat platform, unmarried Taser and dropped truck off at the dealer to address a P00AF code, p/S wiring recall, and possibly HPFP recall if needed.

Got this as a loaner. I like the bigger screen. 22mpg is nice. Road noise is definitely louder than mine. Seats suck.

I test drove a Willys before ordering mine.

Those tires alone were enough for me to bring it back quickly.
