Construction & Design:

The cowl guard is crafted from UV-treated thermoplastic, a material chosen for its excellent durability and resistance to environmental damage such as sun fading and impact.

This adhesive is engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions and off-road vibrations, keeping the guards firmly in place.

The product is specifically designed to fit Jeep Wrangler models from 2007 through 2018, including the JK series, as well as Jeep Grand Cherokee models from 2005 to 2010. This precise fitment ensures optimal protection and a factory-like appearance.
