Converting Soft Top to Hard Top difficult?

[Diydner]

It is my understanding that with a wrangler, if you have the factory soft top, and want to convert to the hard top it's very difficult to do. I think something to do with the wiring due to the rear windshield wiper on the hardtop.

Do we know yet if it will be similar with the Bronco? Or will both versions be retrofitted the same to make it easy to switch later if desired?

Why would it be difficult if Ford is offering a 2 top package? Surely, they must be expecting you to swap them if you're spending that much money?

Can’t speak to the JL (2018+), but on the Jk’s all you need led was a wiring harnes that included everything you needed. Just looked it up in Quadratec and it it lists it as a 1-2 hour job.

At this point it is hard to say if the same will apply to the Bronco.
