WK2 Headlight Protectors
I've done a bit of a search around and have been unable to find any moulded headlight protectors for the WK2.
Is there any in production?
I know of the ones that are like a vinyl wrap but I'm looking for something a bit more heavy-duty for country driving (having cracked headlight protectors on previous vehicles in the past from stones, etc.)
Cheers.

I was told by my dealer and I quote.. "The headlight glass is unbreakable hence we don't have protectors for them" I don't buy it.. I expect a new headlight from Jeep would be cheap as! I am claiming warranty if I get a break!

They're not glass, they're polycarbonate lenses, so you'd be effectively putting a plastic cover over a plastic lens.

I understand that - I just figure that the cover would be cheaper to replace than the Jeep headlamp surround. Alas, they don't seem to exist...
