Confused about hard top color offerings

[KaneNorth]

There's a lot of confusion out there regarding the hard tops. Here is the breakdown as I understand it:

2 Door MIC - 3 pcs (Driver/Passenger/Rear Clamshell)
2 Door Modular Shadow Black/Body Color Painted - 6 pcs (Driver/Passenger/Rear 'Sunroof'/Rear Side Window x 2/Rear Clamshell)

4 Door MIC - 4 pcs (Driver/Passenger/Backseat/Rear Clamshell)
4 Door Modular Shadow Black/Body Color Painted - 6 pcs (Driver/Passenger/Backseat/Rear Side Window x 2/Rear Clamshell)

What I want to know is if I opt for the Modular HT for my 2 door, can I easily remove the far rear glass? It would look sweet as a safari style hardtop to take off the rear side and the back glass. I'm sure anything can be removed with a socket set, but how much of a hassle will it be i'm wondering, and how unfinished will it look when it's off?

The side windows are removable on the modular hardtop but I don't believe the rear window is. They demonstrate the removal at the end of this video.

Man I hope you guys are right. I don't care about the Grey vs Black... probably going with Silver color because at least it is not one of those "mood ring" colors that can't make up their freaking mind.

But I wasn't aware that the standard 4-door hard top had a section just over the rear seats (thought it was rear seats back = 1 piece). I see no reason to buy the modular just so you can take out the back windows without the rear top?

Basically, If I can remove driver, passenger, rear seat all easily by hand, and leave the heavier "Rear Section" on ... it is more than I could have hoped... I'm a happy boy!

Modular Hard Top Shadow Black-Painted

Well the top video looks like a shiny black and the yellow pic looks flat black which is what I would want. Problem is, this is a rendering I believe. Does anyone know if the black top is a matte finish or shiny?

The painted hardtop is shiny

I would think it's shiny. If you select black and choose body color top, that would the only way it would really match.

I'm not buying a new Bronco to immediately make a handful of appointments with "the aftermarket" to fix shit Ford should'a gotten right from the beginning. Flat load floor....painted top - are you listening?

Don't worry, after you buy your 2021, the 2022 model will come with white tops and replace the gray top

If Ford face plants 2021, they prolly won't make it to 2022

FYI if you have the optional roof rack, there isn't clearance to remove the rear seats top on the 4 door. That's why they made the front seats top 2 pieces. You'd have to remove the roof rack, remove the back seat top, then put the rack back on.

What ever ugly color they offer, I'm just gonna paint the top white(to match body color) and possibly satin black sides....not going to pay some rediculous amount the Ford is charging

I think you wildly overestimate the number of people who will pick up their money and leave if they can't get a white top for their retro build.

Did you see this somewhere? I thought the whole selling point was that their modular tops can be removed if you get THEIR roof rack?

To get the body matched colored hard top on the Badlands, are you required to purchase the dual top option? I have no interest in owning a soft top.

It was part of the twitter AMA a few weeks ago.

I'm thinking my local paint shop can take care of the white top I want easily. Now, the cost of that is another thing.

I am looking into doing a wrap on the whole thing. Just the top might be a good idea.There are a ton of colors, it can be changed, should offer a layer of protection from sun, birds, etc. MIGHT even be able to DIY.
