Where do you make the adjustments?
dammit........I "think" it is using the in dash display and the buttons on the steering wheel. I will try
to figure it out again lol. I spent about an hour going through just about every setting and configuration menu on the truck. It does a lot more than people think.

ok its in the sync 4 menu on the dash.....there are also a couple videos out there. When I got my Bronco it did not have the ambient lighting turned on. I stumbled across it during set up and turned it on.

Every think of just pushing them a little more forward towards the window?
This is slightly helpful but still too long. Literally if they removed an inch it would be better. Then again not everyone is as tall as I am lol. But even still I think they are a little too long, in compared to the size of the window.

I wonder if water is getting under the floor liner here?
There still seemed to be a good seel at that point. Water was just sitting there. I believe some people are saying the water may be getting in near where the rubberized mats meet the point where the seats are anchored into the floor. Not sure.

Don't you have a cabin light on the rear roll bar cross member? I accidently found that I had to turn it on with a button in the above console by the front row overhead light buttons.
Hmmm

I would guess the controls switched to the left side of the wheel because of the manual transmission option. I wonder if the Mustang has controls on the left?
Yes, Mustang's audio controls (Vol +/-, previous/next track, and mute) are on the left spoke. Cruise control below them on the left side.

Overall i'm really stoked with my First Edition. All my annoyances are minor except one.

- Horn honk on exit. I have property and have 2 gates to open/close when I pull my bronco out of the shop and leave for the day. I'm sure my neighbors loved the first few days when I'd leave at 5:30 am and the Bronco was honking away. hahaha I will adjust with ForScan
- Clicking in the hardtop. I read this could be fixed with some flacking tape on the metal tabs. I'm going to try this when it comes back from being Xpel wrapped this week.
- But the biggest one. I freaking HATE where the grab handles are. They are useless getting in and out of the Bronco for me and anyone else that gets in. I bashed my knee so hard on the drivers side one that it drew blood. I think i'm going to to just remove the driver side one for now until I figure out what to do.

Other those things, which are pretty minor i've been really please with a first year brand new model truck. Power is good, Drives great, brakes are great, comfortable on longer trips. I don't regret my purchase at all.

Window visors are just way too large. I'm 6'6 and when I put those down, half my vision is lost.... Something just a little smaller, would have been a much better choice.
They pivot ya know 🤷
You don't always have to drop them straight down.

After 1100 miles my only complaint is the 4cyl sounds terrible. Not the exhaust note, the actual engine at idle rattles. My gf thought somethingwas wrong with it it sounds so bad. The jbl soundbar makes the rear window useless but I expected that, and the sound quality is good enough for me, so fair trade off. What's weird is when I remote start it the rear defrost turns on. No idea why
Yeah, it's pretty unrefined sounding. I thought they plumbed in "V8" noise...
They sound much better on the YouTube vids I've seen of them standing on it. 🤷
Mine idles as smooth as butter though.

The digital cockpit is kinda oddly set up. I think the analog speedometer is somewhat redundant and the screen interface isn’t that great. It’s not terrible but way too much real estate for two speedometers. Fuel and temp are also kinda quirky.

Is your seat too high? You're probably cranked up because of your height.

Yea but also they hit the windshield and there is no more room to push them further. It’s not a big deal lol, just a little observation.

I’m actually all the way down and back. It’s prob more a factor because I’m tall.
