Removing the two front removable hard top panels is definitely a one person operation. The mid section not so much. Has anyone seen a modification that would allow a simple unlatching, then folding over to rest on the hard top rear section? I have seen the kit that allows folding over the 2 front sections. I do not see the advantage of that , since they can be handled individually by one person. Using the search function here turned up nothing specific to my inquiry.

Other than the EZ4x4 FlipTop (probably the product you've already seen) there is the Bestop Skyrider - a sort of hybrid soft top that replaces the removeable hard top panels with a soft section that can fold back onto the rear hardtop shell.

If you don’t have a spare person to help out, seems like you could just leave the panel on since nobody would be sitting there.

Your comment definitely means you’re not a grandparent yet.! I am and I’m not asking my 4 year old granddaughter to help lift the midsection.! She must be in the rear by law. Kids love the open top.

Kids love to help out. An extra helping of Wheaties and she’ll show you how it’s done.

I'd go with the BestTop Skyrider. Just took mine off for the winter but it is one of the best mods I've done.

Not exactly what youre asking for but it does work well.

if you install a bimi you can let each side rest on the bimi and then pull it down. but my 6'8" height helps too.

Hey! We actually make something exactly for that.

The EZ4X4 FlipTop & Roof Rack System lets you fold the front panels back and slide all your panels onto the rack. No storage in the Bronco and no drilling. They lock down safely for highway driving, and you can still remove everything normally if you want.

We’re running a promo for Bronco6G members through the end of the year (20% off with code 6GBLKFRI). If you want to pull the whole hard top too, we’ve got bundles for the holidays that pair the FlipTop + Roof Rack with our full hard-top lift.

Few question on the roof rack with center top section storage
I have a paint matched top is there protection that can be put on the metal parts that contact the roof paint to protect it?

i assume you can use the rack as a regular roof rack to put cooler or such?

for those with this is there any increased wind noise with the top on. Not worried about noise with top off

Thanks in advance
