Hey everyone,

I've got the MBRP windshield light brackets and I was wondering if I should put anything between the brackets and the windshield to protect the paint from any wear or scratching from the long term mounting of the brackets. It may not be a big deal but figured it would be easy enough to put in a little prevention now.

Thanks

 

I forget what it's called but I used a sort of foam plastic liner kind of like what you use in a drawer to keep things from sliding around. I found it in home depot near the kitchen appliances. After a year, so far so good

 

A thin piece of rubber will do the trick. But its gotta be really thin as to not leave a noticeable gap.
Merry Christmas

 

Bolted up solid, they wont be moving around and scratching. I didnt put any type of gasket with my MBRPs. Besides, and IF they did scratch--- heck its a Jeep. Jeeps are suppose to be used and get scratched up...

 

I used an old bike tube in between the bracket and jeep.

 

Maybe put a couple strips of double sided tape on the bracket with the backing still on?

 

I obviously wasn't the only one that thought this lol. Bike tube sounds like an excellent idea! I know it's a jeep but if I ever decided to remove the brackets it would aggravate me if there was a bracket shaped rub spot on each lower windshield corner.

 

Electrical tape or a thin layer of silicone will do the trick.

 

Did the same thing... Got an old intertube from an old bike, cut it and perfect fit... Great way to go and cheap

 

Guess I got lucky....mine came with a liner
