That's a fairly common event. I'm surprised that they didn't protect that better on the Raptor.
They make covers (once you have it fixed) that will at least make you more careful when cleaning. I'm not sure what they call those, but if you look through Bronco Accessories long enough, you'll...
I put in the @IAG Off-Road kit (no handles - used Paracord instead) and they were not particularly difficult to install and are controlled by the switch in the overhead console (on/off/disable). The difference is pretty amazing.
I've had the hard plastic ones and now metal ones. Neither was particularly useful for more than a water bottle and some flat items. Lately, I've seen one that sits flat with expandible pockets for a drink bottle and flat items. Look on EBAY. There are just way too many options now.
On the Sticker - look at the 'Blend Date'. That's the actual day of the week they will potentially START assembly (blending all the parts). You're getting close!
I went with a vendor that offered the first one (AR) - I think they've closed shop. This was an exciting option that Ford showed with the unveiling announcement, but never came through with anything (I think it had to do with Safety and having junk all over the Dash) (See Jeep Ducks - lol)

I have a set of Rock lights that I've been putting off installing. I'd probably pay someone to mount/run wires and plug these in. I know, it's probably very easy to do, but I can't crawl under the Bronco comfortably (more about getting up and down) anymore.
With the disappearance of the Wildtrak, this is not surprising. I've been telling all my Badlands owners to go get Sport Mode - they would not be sorry.
2DR only gets 1/2 the software updates anyway. Most are for the rear doors/windows. lol
Enjoy the Rolling Rocks to Bronco start up sequence while you can. They pulled that for some reason.
Yeah - a stock Bronco without Fog lights will not have the switch on the headlight control knob to turn on/off the Fog lights. You have to use an upfitter or another switch you have to supply.
