I have no idea if this actually does anything. But what what itā€™s worth, I do notice that the Bronco shakes a bit more with the soft top than with the hardtop which actually anchors the body better.

@KHC Dale like others Iā€™m curious on the exact function of this brace and how it stops the top from squeaking?

Another addition to my mods list...will be interesting to see any feedback between now and when my WT actually gets to my garage.

probably because of body flex. The brace helps eliminate the flex as roof panels/latches squeak when they move. Shock tower strut stiffens a vehicle in the same fashion.

Yeah, waiting for feedback, but I can see how this would help with rigidity. Just another thing to add to the mod list.

My hardtop squeals like a pig at times. I really dont want to have to buy this thing.....Ughhh
Theres a super easy $5 fix for the squeaking hard tops. Simply put heat shrink tubing on the plastic coated alignment pegs. It takes about 15 minutes to do and works like a charm.

If only it was that simple. I havenā€™t had that stupid tappling noise for a year, I wrapped those things in electrical tape the first week I got the Bronco. There are so many other squeaks and rattles than this one.

Oh come on the hardtop can't handle wax, sun, or even light moisture and you're gonna tell me it adds structural rigidity to the Bronco....

It's cardboard with 3mm of plastic sprayed on it.
