Question for those with Soft Top -- is yours 'loose' and rear windows wavy / wrinkled?

Or those who have seen it in person. I saw my first Bronco this morning in person, Black Diamond with soft top. Maybe it came off the truck this way and the dealership hadn't had a chance to rectify it, but the soft top seemed 'loose' and the rear windows were wavy. Compared to the Jeep soft tops, it looked very poor. So tell me, can you 'tighten' it up or do you just deal with wavy windows?

Thanks!

I test drove one and spent time messing with the windows, and there is no adjustment to take out the waviness. The clips are not adjustable. They just made the windows out of plastic that is way too pliable. I am hoping they offer "stiff" replacement windows at some point, like what BesTop makes on Jeep soft tops.

I’m pretty sure the waviness is intentional to allow for the windows to fold and the rear section to be pushed up. If the windows were stiff, that functionality wouldn’t work.

might not be the best looking, but has a purpose.

Doesn't BesTop make the Bronco tops currently?

The waviness is intentional to allow the back of the top to pop up and propped for putting items in the back.

No. They make the accessory tops for 2 and 4 door (The Fastback versions, which have great windows), but Webasto makes all factory tops...hard and soft.

Hard tops and the OEM 4-door soft tops are made by Webasto.

Bestop makes soft tops for both the 2 and 4 doors, however they are both “fastbacks” and only available as an accessory (not from the factory).

I wish I could apply the cost of the bronco Ford soft top to a bestop fastback top. Prefer the bestop brand and look.

I'd take that ugly ass Fastback top just to get away from Webasto!

I actually ordered the soft top and pretty excited about it but if the Webasto soft top sucks I will just upgrade to the best top

and yes I think the fastback is cool...

Take a look at the Badlands Soft Top in the link below. Is it just me, or do the three windows in the soft top look incredibly good?! Hoping to visit this Badlands tomorrow to determine if this was just very skillful photo shop work.

Those are computer generated images...not a real truck. They do show us what the Soft Top is supposed to look like....and then Webasto worked their magic and you see what we got.
