Dino....cool idea to protect the window switches. I never thought of that. Another idea I use on my wrangler is 3/8" (width) or so of black plastic tubing cut to fit in between the fenders and the body to protect from small pebbles getting into the gaps and scratching the paint. I got the rolls of tubing from Amazon. I copied the product description as follows: "Trim-Lok Rubber Tubing Seal - .276” Outside Diameter, .206” Inside Diameter, 25’ Length - Closed Cell EPDM Foam Tubing".
As a fairly new jeep owner and doing some basic research before my purchase- I have to admit that for the price I’m a little disappointed in some of the quality of the interior and a lot of the basic mods aren’t coming standard on these jeeps. Still love the jeep- just wish the price reflected a little more in the overall quality.
I like the look and usefulness of these products. I'm always very careful about touching anything with wet fingers from the alcohol soaps. I have no bad experience but I've read where they can be nasty on our interiors. I already have door key covers and I love the difference they make. Good video, Dino!
Funny. Yeah, 3D printing would be a handy skill to have. I did a video on 3D printing things for your Jeep, but this idea didn't make it on the list!.lol Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, but one of my entire plastic buttons is cracked and coming out of its slot. I am going to end up losing control of my main window. I was looking for a video to show me how to replace the entire thing and yours is the closest I can find? So frustrating.
Cool idea. The writing on our ‘19 is already worn off. I think it’s just cheap and nothing to do with hand sanitizer as the writing on the switches on any of our other vehicles has not worn off. I only wish the red was a better match to the red disconnect. Looks like the two are way off. Thanks for the info 👍
Hi, Thanks for the feedback on the videos. The side step is fairly robust and would be ok on moderate trails. I kept and would use the original if I needed the clearance for sliding on side rails. I feel the steps would be a bother on tougher trails. Cheers
It’s really just a bad design having a small amount of rubber on the bottom of the switch for comfort. It just wears out from use. That’s all there is to it. somebody can correct me if I’m wrong but I believe the JK‘s were just hard plastic without the rubber coating and were a little bit differently shaped. I don’t imagine that too many are relying on what is printed on the cover in order to use the window switch,so I don’t think that’s a big concern ;) maybe the simple act of applying the new cover that says auto on it, onto the rear switches, has now made those windows auto down as well? 😅 The rubber on the bottom in my 19 wore off as it will likely wear off on any similar coated Switch that gets a lot of use. I’ve still had occasion to use the key, so covering the keyhole wouldn’t make much sense for me Correct me if I’m wrong but at 3:53 or so did you call them light switches? 😊

I thought just the opposite. I came from a Toyota Tacoma and the inside of my 2024, Rubicon feels like a Rolls-Royce!
@@DUNEATV I suppose it is all relative to personal experience.
@@Adventure_Always Yes sir… 🍻
They certainly are pricey.
I like the window switches.
My 2019 Rubicon 2dr has the power door locks and the key hole in the back trunk door.
Hm...Thanks for sharing. Maybe they stopped including the tailgate key hole some year after 2019?
Could be. I guess trying to save a few bucks. 😂

Hey Randy,
Thanks for sharing, and for the feedback on the video.
Cheers.
Thanks Dino. Really like the window switch covers.
Hey Jeff, You are welcome. Yeah, I don’t mind the added protection they afford too.
Cheers
I was thinking of 3D printing something like this. I really like the blue color! Goes right with my Blue JL! Sold.
Funny.
Yeah, 3D printing would be a handy skill to have. I did a video on 3D printing things for your Jeep, but this idea didn't make it on the list!.lol
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Dino. My buttons are pretty worn. Just ordered a set. Thanks for the discount code.
Hey Angelo,
Awesome. What colour?
Make sure the switches aren't cold, to let the tape stick well.
Cheers.
Stayed with black.
Thanks, but one of my entire plastic buttons is cracked and coming out of its slot. I am going to end up losing control of my main window. I was looking for a video to show me how to replace the entire thing and yours is the closest I can find? So frustrating.
Yes. It can be frustrating. I did a search and think this video may help?

Yea I agree. It’s not a perfect match. You can always look j to using the plain black ones.
Cheers
Thanks for sharing another great video.
Hey TealOxAdv,
You are welcome.
Cheers.
Hi thanks for your great videos, is your step side good for off-roading is it like rock slider?
Hi,
Thanks for the feedback on the videos. The side step is fairly robust and would be ok on moderate trails.
I kept and would use the original if I needed the clearance for sliding on side rails. I feel the steps would be a bother on tougher trails.
Cheers
Thank you for this Dino !
You are welcome. I hope you found it helpful.
Cheers.
Nice touches to any jeep 👌👌👌👌
Yes indeed! Cheers.
Thanks Dino. Is there any impact to the operation of the switches?
Nope. Everything operates as it should.
Cheers.
Thank you Dino!
Hey RocklanderUSA,
You are very welcome.
Cheers.
I used your discount code and purchased the black switch covers today. Driver window switch rubber was going bad. Thank you again! -Ryan
Awesome. I’m glad you found the video AND the discount code helpful.
Cheers
The window switch covers look like they say “AUTO” on all of them. Is that right? The rear windows aren’t auto down.
Yes, they actually do. I guess they just made one mold?
Cheers.

Yep. I’d agree that it’s a poor design to have that soft rubber on the switches. Good catch at 3:53. 😆
If you're an outdoors enthusiast, could be bug repellant.. deet eats plastic
Ah yes. It could be that. Thanks. Cheers.
