Did you also just wrap up the connectors and tuck them away? anything special to keep em' safe/away fromt he elements since they will remain 'hot' when the lights are on?

 

i wrapped them in a plastic bag and taped them really well then put another bag on top of them and then tapped them really well. i doubt water will get in unless submerged

 

Does anyone know if the bonding adhesive used to attach the arch extensions is permanent? Will it cause paint damage if arch extensions were to be removed later? I purchased at certified preowned defender that the previous owner added these rock chip guards. I don’t mind them, but would have to remove them in order to add the arch extensions discussed here. I believe they might use the same bonding adhesive and obviously don’t want to cause paint damage if I pry them off. Thanks for any knowledge!

 

It's 3M red double-sided tape. No problem removing, relatively easy cleanup.

 

Heat up those panels and pull them off slowly. Use some adhesive remover to clean up any residue.
