I agree.
just unbolt, put soft top on the bungee it up.
I have a 7MT so my seat is close up for good clutch coverage, with sitting more forward the sun hits me all the time... i know cuz i bought a gearshade (which are great !!!) but then ai made my own in canvas and longer and am more than happy. Ingave some to three other folks on the forum here and Im sure they will post their happiness
I think yours is a four-door, though, right? I have a two-door coming (shipped, yay!). I like the approach you took, though.
I just posted a review that focuses on a design flaw of that cross bar and the indifferent service I got from Bestop. I might be an unlucky outlier with Bestop but based on my experience I won’t buy another product from them ever again.
Yikes sorry to hear
Sorry to hear, especially when their profit margin on those must be in the 70-80 % range.
I’d love to test one out and, looking at your pages, as i now have an eruption green braptor, a buckskin tan one would be pretty excellent because I’m having the FORD letters on my grill Cereakoted bronze and I bet the colors will look sweet together. I’ll go put my name into the hat over on your page. Thanks for letting me know about this option. I’m so frustrated that Bestop don’t seem to care a bit, that they can’t even reply to the emails they require you to send. It’s such a sad state of affairs as I really do try to spend my money with domestic companies and when this happens (not the only example, the Swarfworks guy went totally dark on me after i enquired about buying Baja Designs LP6s from him. He was all excited to sell me them, and I’ve bought 3 other things from him, but doesn’t reply to email or voicemail. And I want to spend $2k on lights!) Maybe everyone has so much business that my orders are just too small potatoes? And Bestop, when their cheap plastic widget breaks, your only option is to throw the whole top away (or make a replacement yourself)….
Just a quick note that @Bestop_Team reached out to me. While it would of course be better never to have had to write the post in the first place, kudos to Crystal to wading into the blast radius with an open mind and a friendly approach. Please keep your powder dry while we give the @Bestop_Team advocate assigned to support us on 6G the opportunity to review my case. Yes, Bestop customer service could have--and should have--taken the same approach Crystal has. But we're at least lucky that, as part of 6G, Bestop has someone to hear us out.I’d love to test one out and, looking at your pages, as i now have an eruption green braptor, a buckskin tan one would be pretty excellent because I’m having the FORD letters on my grill Cereakoted bronze and I bet the colors will look sweet together.

this, by the way, is the part that is unorderable and without it, your cross bar will flap in the wind against the bestop crossbar retainer tabs that are attached to your bronco’s roof. Such a dumb design because it’s an obvious point of failure that they don’t make spares available for.
