ADV Fiberglass - Bronco Hardtop Teaser - Part 1

[Dads_bronze_bronco]

Second picture shows the amount of roof channels we have versus the OEM top.

What is a roof channel? The valleys between raised portions. Hard to count roof channels in that little corner snippet which does not get to the middle of the windshield header. I'd guess one extra. What do roof channels impact? Top strength? Wind noise?

Will there be a sound insulated headliner?

Removable or slide side windows?
Modular? How many removable top pieces?
Properly sealed?
Rain channels on sides?
How heavy compared to the MIC top from Ford?

 

[21BL2DR]

this will be a great option for soft owners who don't want to pay OEM prices. Any idea or estimate what the price point will be for a four door modular top?

Pipe dream but I was hoping it was one solid piece front to back.

 

[Silver-Bolt]

Any projections how the weight will compare to the factory MIC top?

 

[Crazy dutch]

I would like to see a 1 piece with removable rear Windows with available panels that open into the inside of even open into a storage compartments

Some of y'all need to play "hard to get". Lol.

A teaser post with a lot of hope, some basic CAD images and no other information are getting you way too excited.

I believe we are in the "huh, interesting this might be valid" phase, rather than "this is the Jesus of tops, back to save us all from the MIC sins, take my money and absolve me".

Yup this is still a few years away as an option for me. I'm happy to sit tight with my factory soft top until there's an established "best" aftermarket hard top product. Nice to see the development happening though.

I want to see positive, non-paid, long term reviews from people living in the Northeast before I part with whatever this is going to cost.

Best of luck to ADV team! (Some free advice - don't use a reservation system to bring these to market )

Slant is great. Id buy it, but would love a fast back option.

Looks like this is modular as there seems to be a seam just behind the driver side door @ADV Fiberglass amiright?

That’s the one I really love the slant has an oldschool look to it

 

[Superthornbird]

This will be answered in the upcoming weeks of bronco hardtop teasers. Stay tuned!

Trigger words!

Lol they gotta just be trolling…
Release super exciting news…
Then tell you to wait a little longer after they already have you sold on the product… probably will let out a release date and then push it back a couple times due to “supply constraints”

I’ve seen this movie before

We have every intention to provide a timeline that is as accurate as possible. If you have been reading the news then you would be certain that supply constraints are a real thing right now.

However, we are simply releasing information about our top throughout the next couple weeks. We have not given a timeline yet but when we do, we will do everything in our power to follow through.

Agree, it amazes me there are people that really think 8, 9, 10 K is going to be the price for an aftermarket hard top. Besides "design" what is the difference between basic black aftermarket Jeep hard tops on the market right now for 3 to 4 K and a basic black aftermarket Bronco hard top to make up this 5 K overage?

Majority of aftermarket jeep tops are a very simple design. Our bronco top is much more complex.

Is that you saying this is going to be a 10 grand top?

The design of our wind channels are different than the factory to help reduce wind noise.

Not at all, we will be well under 10k. We will be more than a Jeep top though. That is as much as we will disclose as this time. As we have said numerous times, sit tight and watch for our weekly releases. We are certain that most of you will like what we are going to provide.

I’m with you. Just like the old first gen Broncos. Less seams, less opportunity for leaks.
