Those Bronco Sport luggage racks would be a no from me.

Available on rinse out floor equipped trims only.

It is Ford's remedy for their cracking hard top. Just put glass up there.

If it worked like the Jeeps one touch sky top, I think i’d be into the idea. Remove the side windows + open roof is a good solution. I miss my easy remove side windows on the soft top.

I agree that removable side windows would be nice for this, so you can still have the near roof off experience.

after reading the patent i am liking the multiple stages of window opening, give a rapid front, mid row, or full off experience in a quick manual motion it would seem..... lets see how $$$$ this would be..... $7k+

cool idea, but all I see is leaking issues with these types of tops.

The current ones already leak.

Is this sliding sunroof for the 2027 all metal roof Bronco ...with the optional 3rd row seat ?

More beer please.

I'm afraid to know the price on this. I'm sure it will cost more than most used cars.

Are you sure it aint for the sport? looks like it

I can literally poke a finger in the gap at the back of my side window.
Last week I got some water in through the front because the strap for my headliner was inbetween the seat & the roof panel.
It's not like the roofs are exactly not leakable as is.

Just wait for the first hail storm.

That was my thought. Looks like a fixed roof around the glass in the design.

Pretty sure.

Not for the Bronco Sport. The first figure in the patent application is of the Bronco.

Full PDF (so you don't have to clumsily search for the patent application number).

Long overdue and a no brainer. For those folks that never want to remove the roof but want some sun/moon roof option this is ideal AND it stops a lot of the leaks from the seems when there aren't any.
