You take off the bracket and then put it right back on. It makes it easier to stretch the Bimini first instead of trying to pull it into the brackets while they are on. When you are done both the Bimini and the brackets will be on. Will take just a minute with your supplied Bronco toolset.
So after being installed the first time I estimate under 5 minutes to remove and maybe 10 plus minutes to put back on. More time to put on because of tensioning the straps
That is correct. You just won’t have access to the panels when it is on. I would not recommend for a hardtop at this time but they are looking at a version just for the hardtop. That is one of the things that made the Bestop not a good option. They made it so that it worked on both and as result...
Let me get back to you next Tuesday or Wednesday when we remove it and I will time it. I think it will be much faster after the first time because the Velcro attachments on the beam will be in place already and you will have a system down.
The way they currently have it configured you will need to remove that bracket each time. Takes about one minute per bracket. I plan on leaving mine on all the time due to my fair skinned wife and daughters. Fits great under the soft top when folded down.
