I'm not sure I'm a fan of these zip-on pads. I'm thinking of removing them. Has anyone removed theirs in the past and then regretted it for some reason? Pros and cons of having them? What say you?
Definitely look better when their not there.I removed mine and never looked back.

I'm not sure that was Jeep's intention at all. Seems to me that the "protection" the thin hard stock padding would provide would be very, very, minimal at best. More likely is its there to reduce the ouch factor for minor human speed head bumps while moving around the vehicle.The foam underneath the wrap is part of the impact protection system.
I would never remove the padding above the doors I have already hit my head on those same bars. Just me but I am also long in the torso.done, I hated how they always looked dirty
I used black Gorilla tape to hold the wires on top of the bar

Yeah I forgot to mention in my comment that I had a similar problem. When driving at 80/100kmh with the window down, the hardtop would vibrate up and down on the top of the cage and damage the paint.I took mine off and the part of the rollbar that touches my hardtop(right about the soundbar) squeaks when I hit a bump so I put that part back on
From the comments, it sounds like we have Rollies, and Paddies, and Half-Paddies. Haha!We have "rollies" and "paddies " sir , two factions.
"Rollies" like the bare bars , and "Paddies " like the fatter, padded look.
I'm a "paddie " myself . Even liked them on CJ's. I was ahead if my time.
Be wary of "rollies". One posted he removed his and never looked back , but if you look closely , he still has rear view mirrors. Yep. Kind of hard to swallow that , isn't it .
Trust no one , but God and Jerry Bransford.
