Default SOLID diff covers / Rubicon

I'm looking at the SOLID diff covers - great price at $65 each, but I read awhile back about a problem with this cover and the e-locker on the Rubicon. Something needed to be grinded down to make room for the locker switch or something like that. That was a few years ago, so I'm hoping they've corrected that in their design by now - can anyone confirm that this problem has been corrected?

Thanks

Even if they haven't changed the design it's a 15 minute fix with a grinder. Have had them on mine for a few years with no issues using the lockers.

The Solid covers I put on my Rubi last year bolted right on and lockers work fine. I'm not sure how long ago the problem you mention existed, but I didn't experience it.

YMMV.

Default Solid Diff. Covers

The interference problem on Solid covers has been corrected. New Solid covers come ready for install. I put mine on several months ago.....No problems
