I picked up my bronco Saturday. I just noticed today when I open the rear window the hard top itself moves where the hinges mount. Wasn't sure if other people have had this issue? The hard top over all doesn't seem very solid, so I didn't know if it is normal.

Have you checked that all the fasteners are properly tightened?

Yes the issue is the fiberglass bends when I open and close the glass.

Definitely not normal. Mine doesn't do that.

Guess I'll have them look at it when they look at my leak.
Yeah definitely have it looked at. I'd hate to see what it would do if you try to hoist it off like I do with mine when I take the top off on nice days.

The entire top seems flimsy to me, I don't think the glued the parts together very well. Plus it leaks. I'm kinda hoping I can get them to replace it, I can't imagine putting weight on the roof rack.

Weird. I’ve called my hardtop a POS since delivery, but definitely wouldn’t say it’s flimsy. I take it off all the time, very sturdy.

Good morning! Could you privately message us with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer so I can look into this hard top concern on my end? Thank you!

Can you get a short video of the movement you're seeing? Or a pic of the location where its bending?

The fiberglass part the window hinges bolt to moves when you open and close the window. The passenger side hinge is also loose where it bolts to the hard top, but it's a seprate issue.
