Bronco Everglades

Still awaiting delivery on my everglades. Question. Who took off their roof rails right away and why?

Awaiting mine too, assume they will remain on till summer.

I did, I love the look with it on, but the mid panel is not removable with the rack in place.

After about a month I removed the rack.. in order to add the extra seals to reduce the wind noise. Put all back together after that.

Just got mine last Friday night, I am going to wait until this summer....

I have Everglade pending order, but I removed the roof rails on my 2-door a couple months after purchasing. I liked the look but I had no plans to use them anytime soon and the reduced wind noise on highway made it worth pulling them off. I also was prepping to do ceramic coat at that time, and wanted to have the windshield plugs in place. I have it hanging on my basement wall, pretty easy to put back on if needed.

Took mine off over the summer as it was somewhere between a pain and impossible to get the panels off. Planned on putting them back on when the fall weather came in, but I never got around to it. The Everglades looks good with or without the rails.

We are also still waiting for ours to arrive. We got the soft top with it so in the warm months we will not have the rails on so we can use the soft top.

I took mine right off

Let me know how your soft top does with wind noise on the passenger side … curious if snorkel causes more noise.

@Bronco luv

@Bronco luv I do hear soft top flapping/slapping from what seems to be centering on the roof above the rear passenger seat and around the passenger side read window. I've never been in a 4 door bronco with soft top without the snorkel to know if that is where it always is. I don't notice it on the driver side so I suspect that the snorkel is causing the air to move that way.

@Bronco luv

@Bronco luv @Kiff There is a good bit of flapping from the air turbulence caused by the snorkel. I found a pretty cheap fix. 12" piece of Velcro with double sided tape on the horizontal bar right over each window. Then i had the hook side of the Velcro sewn on by a friend who is an upholsterer. $10 for Velcro and 2 cases of beer later, no more flapping at all. I still cant fathom the thought process behind the design of the top.

I took mine off, we want to be able to go topless.

Removed mine right away as well

Took off the roof rails the second I got home. I ended up buying a soft top for a steal so they wouldn't have been on much longer.

Update: removed mine, don’t think it’s ever going back on.
