INEOS Americas Response:

"This information can be found on Page 42 of the downloadable Grenadier Brochure, available on our website at:

https://ineosgrenadier.com/en/us/the-vehicle/the-grenadier"

 

[Xrford]

This does not answer the question, page 42 does not give dynamic for Option 1, does not give answer for option 3 or 4

this is an EXCELLENT question! Very well put. One of the unique features the Grenadier offers (not on Wranglers and Broncos) is a sturdy & complete roof. The Old Defenders had folks sitting up on top when they were parked! I always marveled at that engineering feat.... The ND is not like the old, and in the US the ND has a glass roof. That's good for nothing but worry if you plan on loading it, but their ND market in the US seems to be looks, not function, otherwise they would be offering a re-enforced roof - not glass!? In other ND markets - like Australia & Ireland - buyers can absolutely still order the full, solid roof, so it's more about JLR figuring that US buyers don't use the roof racks anyways, so who is going to notice if their roof is made of glass?!
