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

[West1]

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!

Occasionally, the rear side windows would look wavy on my JKU, I would adjust the Velcro and make sure the windows were completely zipped up to make it tighter and get rid of the waves. I hated the look of the wavy windows. It is something I have noticed in several photos of the Bronco. I am hoping that it does not look that wavy in person. Does not look like there is a way to « tighten » the windows on the Bronco.

Do you happen to know if the Bestop TrekTops (4Door and 2Door) are currently available? If so, can you only order them through a Ford dealer?

They are available from Ford Accessories
Ford Accessories | The Official Site for Ford Accessories | Customize Your Ford

Twill TrekTop is $2229 and the Vinyl is $1579 - Same price 4Dd or 2D, go figure. Both are Fastback.

I had Bestop for my wrangler and they are top shelf.

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.

Big time wrong here. These are terribly ugly. The folks that bought them are caught up in the hype and afraid to admit their bad decision. I am not blaming them. They ordered them sight unseen. I am blaming Ford for an under engineered debacle. People this is not 1940. The Jeep has been around for decades and their top design is light years ahead of this. They look goofy up, the windows are hideous and the folded down baby buggy look is criminal. I am being nice here.

I am so glad not to have one of these and it reminds me of the VW Thing. Only the Thing tops looked better. Although the 4dr Bronco with the soft top has close resemblance. Yuck.

I don't care if my 2dr MIC top ends up with the "snap, crackle, pop" going down the highway- at least I won't be laughed at...

I am unclear if the fastback top goes all the way down. The Esteban video does not show it. That would be a deal breaker. I guess we will have to wat until someone gets one.

Don’t kid yourself, people are always laughing at you.

It does not go all the way back.

I'm not sure on the 4-dr. On the 2-dr, it does not.

it does not fold down, just has removable windows and sunrider function.

I would like to restate my position in stocking the soft top side panels....Just looked them up in the parts cat and sides are $730.00/ea and the back is over $1,000. If the vinyl tears on mine, I'm going to go to a local trim shop and figure out how to put glass in.

Don't have interest in stocking these and will just order as needed. Woof!

SHEWWWWW that price is crazy talk! Anndddd it's back to me somehow making my own top I go!

What a mass mess of confusion in this thread. People, the rear windows are wavy not so that you can pull the top back, to do that you must remove those windows. They're wavy so that there's enough Flex to lift up the rear top. The best top doesn't work that way, and it doesn't even fold all the way back. It's looking at an entirely different set up. If you put solid windows in those rear sides, the first time you lifted up that rear, forgetting, you would hear snapping and crackling and go oh crap.

Yes, Johnny rain cloud here.

Spirit animal?

They “sag” to allow give for when you raise the rear for access. I am pleased with mine and don’t mind the “wavy” look. They are plastic, not glass.

I did find this posted as a possible help to the window issue.
