Meet Bestop's eTop for Bronco!

[augidog34]

This top looks awesome. I just can't rationalize buying it until my current soft top starts ripping or falling apart on me. Once that happens, I'm in!

It's better to sell your factory top now when it's in it's best condition so you can get top dollar for it. Sold my hardtop one day before getting my mytop installed. Made it so much more affordable.

Imagine spending 5k on this and finding out that it rattles and clicks as much as the oem top when it's closed.

I don't see how it won't, but I'm interested in hearing some honest reports. People generally aren't honest because they're always thinking about trying to sell and get as much $ back as possible if they're unhappy.

Doesn't rattle ONE bit. I'm TOTALLY happy! Believe what you want.

I'm planning on finally calling to order an ETop tomorrow. Guess I'll pay for the install, but no real idea how much that actually costs. I'll be using the authorized center in Raleigh, NC for that.

Anyone have any install pricing experience they can share?

Ugh, I ordered one through a dealer in Cleveland. Dealer has been AWESOME. Sold my hard top given it's a permanent swap. Top came in off backorder, dealer went to install and found that the zippers "disintegrated"! They contacted Bestop who told them it will take 2 - 4 weeks for new windows to be made and shipped from Mexico! Meanwhile I'm without my Bronco for maybe a month+ in peak season.

Dealer advocated to Bestop for a rush but no promises. I contacted Bestop last night, they were great and I'm cautiously optimistic. I'll keep you posted.

Beyond the delay frustration I'm now concerned about quality and durability. Concerning when you consider its a $5K top + install.

I was quoted about $1150 for the install.

My quote was very similar and aligns with what others have shared.

Good news on my replacement windows/zippers. Crystal at Bestop was great. Got back to me today and confirmed with tracking numbers on two of the three windows. Eager to hear about the third.

Update. After some issues and confusion on the windows were all set. Picked it up a week ago, eTop is a game changer for me. Love the ease of use. Biggest issue is my wife and daughter now are quick to want to take the Bronco out.

Can the etop go through a soft touch car wash?

According to Bestop, hand wash is best but touchless washes are okay. I’ve taken mine through it a number of times without issue.

Great. thank you. Mine was installed yesterday. I love the way it looks and works and the headliner.

We took our factory soft top through Sam's wash and Auto-bell several times. Not touch-less but they are brush-less and soft wash.

Im glad this thread popped up. This looks like an excellent option. Basically makes it into a legit convertible. I know im late to the party but the bars still open and serving drinks...
