Is it on all soft/hard tops? I swapped out my tinted windows for clear on my last wrangler because i like the sun coming in and the look from the outside being able to see inside, particularly the roll bar. but all i have seen is tinted.

Base does not have tint.

On the 2-door, does "privacy glass" only exist in the back (hard top?) or are the passenger windows different too?
Of course, I can't tell anything from B&P.

Yeah, limited to the rear windows.

Front windows on vehicles are typically limited to how tinted they can be by law... which isn't anywhere close to how dark "privacy class" usually is.

I thought so. So then the window glass in the base MIC hard top is unique vs. the glass in all other trims? Seems extra complicated for Ford (from an assembly standpoint).

I'm with @peterh and prefer the look of non-privacy glass. I guess it would be better to find someone to trade tops with, than to attempt to swap the windows only and mess with the seals.

Right here! It'll save me the hassle of having mine tinted.

I'll be a laaate 2022... didn't reserve until 3 weeks ago but if I wind up splurging on OBX I will reach out. Right now my ideal Bronco is OBX interior with Lux, and base exterior. At least until Ford releases details of the Heritage Edition.

I'm about 80% sure on a basesquatch at the moment, and I have a Grangetober reservation, so I'm probably 2022 myself.

my issue is that you can't get a white MIC with clear. I want the white more than I want the clear, so that's kinda that.

I saw a video where the side window glass can be removed. it was on the 2dr. i remember the video because when the window was remove i noticed no seals. it just popped out. Easy Pes.

Probably costing Ford more $ to put in clear window hard top vs tinted hard top

That was an early prototype of the Modular top. Only the mod tops have removable rear side windows, and later production intent setups may be different than what we saw in that video.
