Ford Bronco Full Hard Top Review

- Опубликовано: 4 ноя 2021
- We show how to fully remove and install the NEW Ford Bronco Hard Top. We timed ourselves to see how fast we can remove the Bronco Hard Top. We then tested the wind noise and water intrusion. After all the issues with the first round of Hard Tops, we were surprised at the results.

I’ll save this for when I finally get a Bronco and a hard top sometime in 2030.
Surprising to see that not many people are still talking about the amount of debris flaking from the headliner on these panels. It’s a shame to see they haven’t been able to get the QC under control after all this time. Starting to seriously consider changing to a soft top roof and buying a HT after the fact. Thanks for getting this video uploaded!
Great video. Thanks for sharing success and challenges. I'm looking for a back saver and hoping to find an overhead lift tom out to the ceiling in my garage. (I'm not as flexible as I once was.)
Thanks for the demonstration; I’m grateful that I installed a hoist in my garage. ✌🏼👍🏼
My husband and I took the 3 front panels off and enjoyed a drive. Thanks for this video. We haven't done the back piece. It doesn't seem too difficult now! (good music)
Thank you Kharla!
Thanks for the video! I have not taken the back part off yet this was very helpful can't wait ♥️
Good luck!
I really appreciate your video.
We just purchased a 4door hardtop Bronco
I have never taken the full top off but because of your video we
Will be taking off the full top today.
Thank you for a great video and you have new subscribers.
Very helpful and efficiently delivered video!
Awesome job! Thanks for sharing!
Appreciate the comment 786!
Great video. It would be helpful to watch you put the tops back on. I find aligning the panels to be somewhat tricky
Thank you. Great video.
Well, thanks for the video and you made up my mind…I’m sticking with the soft top for sure. I have three back surgeries and all that work to get the top off is way too much for me. I’m going to start apologizing to my wife, who wants the hard top, and tell her to get used to the soft top. Great video and thanks for showing it. 👍🏼
Joel, there are some new removal tools that are essentially shopping carts with lifts installed on them. There are also ceiling lift systems available for your garage. As far as hard tops go, this is the lightest and easiest to remove. Good luck with your decision.
We have had our hardtop of a half dozen times and it is just as waterproof as new. Love our 2022 Bronco with 28000 miles!
I had a Jeep Wrangler 4 dr., and it came with both a hard and soft top. One for winter, one for summer. Here in Canada, the hardtop in winter was a necessity. Summer fun and easy/quick top up/down couldn't be beat. Now w my '22 4dr/2.3 Black Diamond Sasquatch, I'm loving the soft top and looking to find a hardtop solution before winter. Lovin the Bronco!
Awesome Barry!
Can you please tell me where you ordered your hard top from if you find one . Also, do you have a part number for the hard top. I live in canada also. And I will let you know also if I find one Thank you so much
Great informative video!
Thank you. That is super nice to say
Great Video - SOOOOoooo glad I was "forced" into a soft top. This looks like a serious PIA where the soft top takes 12 seconds to get flipped back for quick outdoor experience - and maybe 5 minutes to get the windows removed and top all the way down. NO WAY I would want this hard top at this point - so happy with my soft top!
Wait till you try to take the soft top all the way. I hope you have a good afternoon to spend. Hard Top for the win.
The equivalent of just flipping back your soft top is to just remove those two little T-top panels from the front. Also very easy. Taking the soft top completely down is a pain, just like taking off the hard top is.
Soft top is ugly and noisy
@@TreesOnTheBeach isn’t it just remote 3 windows and folding? The soft top attracts me because i can carry every piece with me and enjoy some open air time on the way to shopping and put top back when arriving. Hardtop has much better looking and less noise.
Is there a part number yet for a hard top from ford or does anyone know where to buy one?
Thanks for sharing the video and giving a "real world" perspective on the removal and installation. I've wanted a Bronco since I saw a '74 Bronco restored in 1989, but I never bit the bullet. I've been following the new Broncos since 2018 and since I've passed the half century mark, I think it's time to treat myself.
Is it safe to say that based on the panel design, because of all the securing points, you could remove just 1 of them and leave the other 2? For example, you could remove the front panel and leave the back 2 panels?
Thanks again for the awesome video and looking forward to the door removal post!
hello, yes you can remove the front three panels and keep the back on. This is the way I run it 99% of the time.
Great video. Fellow Colorado resident - patiently waiting for my Bronco! Have a 4Runner for now, to hold me over! Thanks for posting.
Awesome! Keep in touch so we can wheel when you get yours.
Have you ever drove with just the front 3 panels?; and not the clam shell?
Great team work guys. Can you remove the rear top only without touching the front and/or mid panels?
No. Have to remove all panels to get the back off, but then you can put the others back on if needed.
Hey I don’t know if you know, but it’s way easier to remove the top pieces with the windows rolled down that way they are not in the way. Just don’t want you to mess up this beautiful beast you have!!
I should have finished the whole video before commenting. The first tip is really helpful!
The TREMENDOUS amount of fiber coming off the carpet like material on the roof is just inexcusable... Ford did a garage job with the MIC roof!
That hurt my back ,just watching. When I take my canopy of my trucks , we get on the sides to take off and put on. Seems that would work on the bronco top, or is the spare tire in the way.
Carrying on the sides works great except my wife is too short to lift one side.
I would go through the touchless car wash ; going through through brushes you will scratch you paint.
Normally do go through touchless.
Driving off road through trees and bushes and rocks will also scratch your paint. Really you bought a Bronco and you’re worried about a car wash? Please stop that. Great video btw. Thank you!
$60,000 with a lot of particles released from the roof material every time you touch it. You can see it clearly here. That would make my head explode.
Bronco Dandruff. Hope it will vacuum out.
Awesome bronco guys..is that the velocity blue? I have a 2019 mustang GT PP1 in the velocity blue & love it! And everyone stop asking if the cabin is quite inside at highway speeds & oh the sound deadener is flaking off.. lol. You don’t buy rigs with removable tops for quietness! There just on there to keep the elements out cold/rain these rigs jeeps now the new bronco are intended to roll with the top off! That’s where it’s at! I’ve had my 93 YJ soft top for 20 years and absolutely love it... take the top off in may & it doesn’t go back on until mid October & I live in the pacific northwest!!! True bronco & JEEP enthusiasts don’t care about the noise they care about the freedom part of it! Currently waiting on my outer banks Sasquatch package/lux package 2 door in Area 51 oh & paid the extra dough for the 2.7 can’t wait to get it!!! 😎👍
It’s lightning blue. Limited color for 21 FEs. Your going to love your Bronco
Good video - do you know when the hardtop is available? Unfortunately I have a soft top waiting to purchase a hardtop?
Unfortunately I don’t know. Similar to the roof rack for the hardtop. It’s a big issue.
@@alpinegarage8548 thank you
Good stuff... We would love to have you on one of our live streams to talk Bronco..
Would love to…
@@alpinegarage8548 let’s email and work out the details
Good job thanks!! Have you ever consider a hoist and store system for a garage? I’m evaluating those now.
Yes, we had a hoist for our JK for a while, but we almost never took the top off. I may reinstall it for this Bronco. Good question!
Have you drove it on the highway at 75-80 if so was it still quiet?
More quiet as any off-road vehicle I have had.
Ya'll better do that door video in the grass so I don't have a heart attack worrying about you dropping it on the concrete driveway. Good luck, Praying for no chips, scratches, or dings like some of the others in the forums.
Not a scratch. Doors are too easy!
@@alpinegarage8548 Good to hear. My FE should be built next week 11/9 if the schedule holds true. Meanwhile I'll be watching you guys.
Can you get covers for the hard top pieces?
Yes, the top pieces have bags. The back cap doesn’t, but the front 4 do in the hard top.
What part of CO you in? My wife and I taking our new Bronco to Ouray in September.
We are in Colorado Springs. Going to Super cell?
How is it insulated for sound dampening
It only has a piece of sound deadener on the panels.
After watching this video, kinda happy I got a soft top lol
Soft tops have their place. Our winters can be hard where we live so the hard top was the only way to go.
Soft top is ugly and noisy
Can cross bars or luggage bars be fitted even if all parts of the roof are removed?
I have seen at least one with a rack and top off. It wouldn’t be hard to fabricate but probably a pain to take on and off.
There are a couple of companies out there that are marketing their roof racks for the Bronco with the top off.
The front driver side panel of the hardtop on my 2022 Wildtrak is warped pretty badly. Submitting a warranty claim this week. I wonder how long it will take Ford to provide a replacement…
That is terrible! Hopefully not long.
I wonder how much better the new hard tops are after they fixed it made it quieter not leak
We haven’t had an issue yet with our new one.
@@alpinegarage8548 I've seen and heard the road noise is atrocious with these hardtops, hows yours?
@@BrooklynNY1979 the ticking from the pins happened for a short time but now gone. I assume the top has “broken in”. The road noise isn’t any worse than any other removable hardtop vehicle I have had (JK, YJ, etc).
@@alpinegarage8548 Cool, thank you!
Is that velocity blue?
It’s lightning blue. It was only available on the First Edition
Think you should grab the rear top from the sides , have more control installing it.
Sure your right!
What model of bronco is this
First Edition
@@alpinegarage8548 more what package looks good
Any recommendations on a bikini mesh top? Thanks
Not yet. They seem very similar to one another. We are getting one soon and I’ll let you know.
What’s your Samoyed’s name?
A lot calmer than the one I had
Yeti- he is a Husky/Malamute mix but gets Samoyed all the time.
@@alpinegarage8548 Yeti looks like a good boy haha
@@waltlynch7619 he is the best. He has his own channel … alpine huskies
Omg!!!!!
Go go !!!
Lol!!!!😂
Nice vid! But oh man, you're destroying your paint putting your Bronco through those car washes....
I usually don’t go through those. Just wanted to get the highest psi I could find.
Can you put it in your trunk and take it with you ???
Those brushes just beating the hell out of that paint 🤦🏻♂️
Really cant' figure out how/why Ford could not come up with better sound-deadener than that flaky stuff. First thing I'm going to do is vacuum mine! If that doesn't do it, I'll have to find some kinda spray to lock it down.
Quick fix in my opinion. The glue is everywhere on the top. Hastily done but effective.
Lower the windows
Here is a tip. All Windows down before removing top. It will be much easier.
Usually do that but this time not so much! Thanks Goldy!
The shower of particles from the top 😮
I’m sure we will find out in a few years that it was toxic.
I see the V2 headliner still showers flakes down. Too bad.
We call it Bronco Dandruff.
Just picked up my WildTrak.
Not a fan of the soft top it came with.
Anyone wanna trade swap cash and a balance that makes everyone happy? Holler - I'm on the East Coast in Southern NH.
Ha! You might get a taker on that.
It’s like putting together a China little girls toy jeep
3/8 drive battery powered ratchet would be nice.
Yes, but cheating?
@@alpinegarage8548 ,work smarter not harder.
@@victorringe9404 touché
Those beater brushes take years off the paint.
🤣 lmao!!!!
Lol..!!!!!😂
Is this for real ????
Look at all that cheap roofliner material flaking off and glistening in the sunlight... 🙄
Ford, what were you thinking? 🤦♂️
Good teamwork btw in putting on that rear section.
Yes the sparkle shower.
Ford needs to make the BRONCO WITH A PERMANENT hardtop and naturally aspirated 302.
That could be a thing.
Heyyyy
And don’t drop it !!!!!
Car wash bristles will scratch your paint. Touch less car washes are the way to go. C’mon man!
I agree..c’mon man!
A lot of people don’t realize going drive car wash will damage your truck and car to much work for me taking off the tops just buy Toyota Tundra convertible
Is this a comedy show????
Lol…
No thanks !!!!
Lol
What the hell ????
Wash it only by hand never ever use those useless car washing machines
Thread creep .... Look into stem cells for your two bad shoulders. It's not cheap ($5,000 for one shot) but it'll do wonders.
It’s from China !!!!!
Can't believe the bronco looks worse with the top off 🥱🤭👎
Your opinion is in the minority pal. The design of this truck is heralded by the masses. Go yawn elsewhere. And curious, what exciting rig do you drive? A clown car I’m sure.
@@KN-jw7tsminority huh? My opinion is my opinion... IDC if you like it or not. Get bent. And btw genius... The bronco is a suv not a truck. For off-road I use my turbo s... I'd really like to see a comparison between the 2 on trails or anywhere else. And actually mine is street legal and tagged so I can drive it almost anywhere. That bronco won't go half the places a real utv will, guaranteed. But thanks for your reply yuppy trend guy that remains anonymous with their profile picture because you're a sheep not a wolf 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱😴🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱 I yawn enough yet? 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱😴🥱🥱🥱🥱😴🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱😴🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱... 😂🤣😂
CH@PPy I can respect that you aren’t a fan of the new Bronco. Some are just turned off due to the mass amounts of media and promotion involved from Ford. I have many friends that believe the Toyota lineup is superior and better looking. But…I will say that no matter where we go, a crowd follows. Some just want to see it, but most fall in love with it. And with the top off, it’s a superstar! I can’t think of another vehicle that gets that much attention right now. Just speaking about looks, but so far the performance has matched.
@@alpinegarage8548 You will always have the haters, but that's ok. It's just nice to have another choice to pick from, I'm glad jeep, Toyota and all the other SUV's, now has some competition.
@@alpinegarage8548 Jealousy is the best form of flattery!! 🔥😉😏😎
