I fully understand the times. If individuals are in such a financial hardship that they need to break into my/your Bronco, even glass isn’t going to stop them.
My point is that vast majority of thieves are looking for an easy win. Knifing or taking the time to undo your soft top still takes...
Do all these people complaining about the soft top being broken into ever plan on taking their doors off? I guess thieves only attack in crummy weather, or these people never plan on taking the door off due to the chance of someone reaching in and stealing stuff.
I've got a JK Bestop soft top...
I emailed Rob and initially got a reply stating they will match any offer. I sent them the Granger October deal and they never responded. I followed up everyday for a week asking if they'd match Granger's deal and they went silent. I'll take that as a hard No!

I went with BL and for me it was a matter of wanting the MGV and the washout interior. I currently have a 2015 JKU that "magically" ends up with a nice puddle of rainwater in my passenger floorboard after a heavy rain. Not wanting to deal with any future potential leaks or drying out carpet...
Hoover - Reserved with Granger for $2k under invoice. Spoke with T&C in Bessemer and they told me they would only do MSRP. Sent an email to Matt Bowers Ford in Metairie, LA (Outside of NOLA) and they said they would match any offer and provide a Lifetime Powertrain Warranty good at any ASE...
