This weekend I took my top off all by myself for the first time. If you're still waiting for you bronco and wondering how hard/easy it is. I made a video doing it.

Was the rear cargo liner a separate line item from the rest of the floor liners?

I don't have a tall garage so I started thinking how I could do this with an engine hoist. Found this cool video on youtube as someone else has already thought of the idea.

The video was fine. As a reluctant soft top orderer it shows just how much work removing that thing is. MIC looks a 1000 times better. But once it’s off you better keep it that way for a while to make it worth the effort.
Agree 100%, I was originally a MIC order that reluctantly switched to soft top to have a chance at being built this century. My 1 and 3 year old daughters won't be very much help in removing the roof so I'm glad I won't have to squat the rear MIC on the front lawn solo.

I always figured I'd buy a hard top at some point but maybe Ford will figure out MIC 5.0 by the time I install a lift in my garage. Soft top will be a easier solo operation until then. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for the video. Liked it. For those who said it is too difficult, you've been spoon fed your whole life. That showed it wasn't that difficult. đź‘Ť

MOD top with side windows that come out would make a garage lift system easy

Anyone have any idea how removing the MIC roof (and front panels) works with the optional roof rack installed?

Front panels can be removed with the roof rack installed. Removing the rear clamshell requires the rack to be removed first.

Yes, 2.0.


So you have a MIC 2.0 (it appears to be without the sound deadener), and it has all that "snakeskin" clearly visible on the interior. I was under the impression that the 2.0 had "thicker" skins as to not show the cardboard "structural" mid layer. Obviously I am mistaken. 🤷‍♂️

Good video, nice work, thank you for your time and effort!

Me too. I have a 17 foot sea kayak on my garage roof. I hoist it up with pulleys. Hope to do the same with hard top.

Didn't like the video? I'm open to critique? too long for what it was?
Imo: your click bait title is what annoys me. But that's right on oar with 90% of all yt videos so it don't matter.

YEs, it was seperate. I wanted it as I'm going to be putting my chainsaw back there sometimes...

That's a fair point. I will admit that the thumbnail is a little clickbaity, but the tittle is actually pretty straightforward....

Are you able to access all the bolts if there is a car seat in each spot?
