Anyway, need to get the "new improved" clips for the back tailgate bar also, as I've had the original ones zip-tied since the hardtop came off. It's the only way they would stay in place with the soft top up. Need to get all the part numbers figured out before I go in so that my visit will hopefully be expedited. I'll let everyone know how it turns out.

That's good that they're covering - I need to go in and have them replace a retainer nut for my hardtop. I took the top off this past Spring, and when I attempted to hand-tighten the screw back into place (mainly for save keeping while I had the hardtop off), I noticed it had been cross-threaded at the factory. I called to see what the price was of the nut, and figured if it was $1 or so, I would just order it and not worry about filing under warranty. However, they want $6.95 for just the nut!!

Please tell me you haven't been losing sleep over the cost of that bumper. 
I also like this Expedition One - doesn't block the license, retains factory hitch, and opens in conjunction with the tailgate. Very clean look.
