I really like the idea of glider/slider for the diffs because that is mostly what I find useful. I had one on the rear diff of my belated TJ Rubicon. On the front I had a Currie diff cover with a built in ramp and had my eye on the Nth Degree glider thing to completely protect it front to back.
I like this Rancho glider but I can see how backing into a rock may push the bolts outward just a hair to possibly create a leak, but I am far from being any expert on this. I still like the idea a lot.

As far as peel back and the covers I've seen two different ones (Solid, ARB) and you'd really have to work it in a major way to get that to happen. They did a nice job of not leaving a lip to catch on.
The seepage on the guards seem to come from trying to sandwich the cover between the guard and housing. My vote's for a cover.
