Had to get the J Braces from Australia. Had the local mechanic install them. Put the ARE V Series Shell on the next day and the dealer advised they heard from ARE this is fixed and no longer requried on the 2025 models.

Dave, would you be so kind as to post a few more pictures of the shell? Both sides, rear and open (from rear) views? Seriously considering this option. Thank you!

Yes will do. I will be upgrading to the side windows that open. Also would have preferred a shell with electric locks on the rear door like Leer.
