Picked up my new wildtrak grille from dealer yesterday.
Just an FYI, replacement grilles come without letters and hardware.
I'm going to have to transfer everything off the old one.
dropped it off at the paint shop, picyures to come soon.
I was a test vehicle for zone off road, they are here in michigan and I have used their stuff before.
poke is about 1 inch / 1.25 inch I think there are pics here somewhere.
we love the soft top
as for your concerns
Security -if they want it they will get it - broken window
weather - think of the soft top as a big warm blanket, and the hard top as a cold piece of plastic
we have had no issues with our soft top -been 2 months and almost 3000 miles
