They also caught my eye immediately on their youtube channel, but then I gave it some thought and felt there really wasn't anything I'd want to put on them that wouldn't be better off in the boot. Maybe muddy boots perhaps, but a plastic tub in the boot is cheaper
I'm curious to learn of any practical uses though, I might be for turning.2022 BMW i4 M50. Bought Oct 2022. 10,200 miles and counting...

I would've thought they could be used for mounting the New Defender type side "saddle bags"
Or even shovels, recovery boards, kit, etc....... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Have a look at their YouTube content, they do indeed stick the new defender side pods on there. I'd still rather have it all inside though. Less likely to get nicked.2022 BMW i4 M50. Bought Oct 2022. 10,200 miles and counting...

i saw these on there You Tube channel, they are trying to copy the mounting plate they designed for their defender and allow side mounting of all manner of whatever stuff you want.... but flipping they are asking a lot of money
id be more interested if they designed a side ladder like the new defenders as that would make getting into side opening roof boxes etc a lot easier.2011 D4 XS 305 MY12 - gone but not forgotten

These a simply brilliant for accessing the roof. Cheap and effective, and easily stored in the car...

What about MOLLE plates for mounting on the inside of these windows/space?
I've seen some homemade ones but nothing commercial yet?2008 D3 HSE Stornoway Grey (UK)

1995 D1 300 Tdi Blue - (Sourced from the UK, shipped to Namibia, driven by me to RD Congo, then Zambia, now retired in Zimbabwe)
That's my thought... if you don't need to see through the glass, inside the car seems so much better..
