This was possible in the 1960's-70's - why can't it be done in 2022? Who wants this? Who will produce it? Or even better, just the windows that can replace the OEM ones on the MIC top

The forthcoming modular top might have pop out windows, which would be even better.

I'm wanting sliders. Haven't explored such a modification, yet, as I consider my current Bronco a "holdover" Bronco until my original reservation is delivered. My quandary is that I really do like what I have and each day that goes by, I want the "holdover" Bronco to be my permanent Bronco.

With that said, my intent is to explore those who modify/customize RVs. Removing the factory glass and installing a custom framed slider is the end game.

I think the slider will break up turbulence better than the full pop-outs and in cold weather i'd like to be able to crack the window instead of the all or nothing option

Once you open the glass in the back there isnt much air left back there. If you want it the highway maybe, but its going to be so loud I can’t imagine it would be worth it today. Removable or maybe tilt out like minivans.

I love the pop out windows on the Jeep SkyOneTouch top. Having those on a Bronco would be awesome. I do like the sliders, just prefer popping the entire window out more.

Surprised no one's offered these yet. I've been waiting on the mod top and would much rather have sliders vice pop-outs.

anyone care to speculate on which top would be easier to convert to sliders - the MIC or the Mod top? I think the Mod because the windows (at least as originally advertised) are designed to be removable, so should be easier to design a replacement with sliders?

I want rear sliders more than any other option available on the Bronco. This is perfect for a 2 door. I dont want removable windows, then I have to worry about carring and installing a piece of glass and dont get a choice on how big the opening is. A replacement window can not me that hard to come up with. The dog would love this too.

just emailed these people requesting more information - maybe a group buy? Anyone else interested maybe email them!

What trim are you going with? I'm wondering if the mod top and mid top share the same inner window layout. Here's from what @Undescended posted on the Heritage thread:

Ford Bronco 2 Door Hard Top With Slider Windows hash=WXCy1tFzVCeyYgUH4k0LZs-DEZ8btdDU


Not sure how the MIC top is behind the glass but doubt it has that much going on like the mod top evidently does. It would be great to have some quotes though but it's going to require someone to remove the glass out of both/either top to get the right dimensions for a true slider window.

I am a Badlands 2 door mid package, but shouldn't the window configuration be the same no matter what?

I've considered the same, but I have reservations about it. My top is pretty quiet, and after hearing all the reports of really loud tops and all the work done to get the noise down to a manageable level, I kind of don't want to add another source of wind noise to it. Maybe that's why nobody has brought one to market yet?

I am coming from years of soft tops at highway speeds so its not a concern to me! I like fresh air more than quiet!
