Not looking forward to the exhaust work as I wrap up my TT. Exhaust and body work are the bane(s) of my existence for every vehicle I have owned... 
For sure!
Word of advice: if you cut that tip back (good idea to do), weld on a turn down either pointed down to the ground or off to the side. My rear bumper (and hitch mount) rusted hard from the exhaust going straight out of the pipe nearby.
Does it flap that much? I am in the market for one this australian summer.
When I bought my TJ it had a trektop and I really liked it so when I got the LJ I got one without hesitation. I rarely have the side and rear windows in so the back sides are left to flap around without the windows holding it down. There are straps that tie to the sound bar area and to the very rear corners of the top but there's quite a bit between them that can flap around. If you have the windows in, it is probably just fine.
Your seasons are out of whack!
Looks like they changed from a magnet to a suction cup for the remote light. Mine has a magnet on the bottom of the remote light.
These newer ones actually have both a magnet and a suction cup. I'm not sure how well the cup will hold up to underhood heat, mine's good so far.
Mine has both magnet and suction cup but the magnet is the weakest magnet I have ever used. I got two of these on Ebay for $10 each new last year. After putting this in I thought maybe I want one more. They are going for $40 or more used right now.
Yea - I thought about grabbing another one a few months back - apparently the supply of $10 ones has all dried up.
