Modular hardtop window bolt washers for use with thumbscrews

[mjcutri]

I would like to know how much would you be willing to pay for two of these washers if I take the time to print off a batch of these washers and ship them out.
They allow you to use the hardtop thumbscrews on the removable windows in the MOD top. Just looking to cover my cost and time.
(not including the bolts, only the black washer)

I'd give ya $20 or whatever, no issue, for a set. Need to order me a set of the screws, shame on me I haven't even taken the windows out.

This is only for the people that want me to print them for them, lol.

Why is a washer necessary? I have the full set of bolts from Rockworx, and they work great.

This is only for the painted MOD top with the removable rear windows, which so far has only been available on the HE and HEL.
The standard MIC top doesn't have removable windows, so this doesn't apply to that top.

As for why the washer is necessary in this application:
The rockworkx thumbscrew is a bit bigger diameter than the head of the stock bolt so it doesn't quite fit into the recess in the window and also the recess is tapered to fit the stock bolt.

The washer also makes it so the thumbscrew stays out of the recess, making it easier to get a hold of.

I don't have a mod top and probably never will, but I just wanted to say that's a nicely executed solution, well done.

Dumb question… is there only 1 bolt per side holding the window in? So two total bolts for both sides?

And are these the bolts? Did not see an HE window bolt option.

Yup, that's it. One bolt in the rear and two posts in the front that hold it in.

This is not a bad idea for those who have that top. Now the $$$$ question is why Ford will not build these tops for ALL Bronco's or at least put them in the accessory catalog.

Yup. My original order on 2/1/2021 was a CO Badlands with the black MOD top, which is still MIA.

I bet they roll out the black top next year for the MY2025 refresh (Oates edition?) and possibly the body-color top as well. Seems like they are finally getting a handle on producing the MOD top, the MIC is still another story.

Yup, that's them.
A couple of us reached out to them to see if they would make bolts specifically for the windows, but only got crickets in response, so that is why I ended up going this route with the 3D printed washers using those thumbscrews intended for the hardtop bolts.

Well I just ordered the Bolts so I realllly hope you decide to make them

 

[Cbable]

I'm in on the this. I would definitely buy a set, if/when you print them.
