Its a no go on the two door either.
1. The two side anchor points sewn into the top are clearly for the 4 door. They don't line up with any of the existing holes in the roll bar. The front side one is off by an inch or so, you make it work kind of, but the rear most side anchor has no where to fasten the bracket to .
2. The cross brace does line up with the rear Velcro channel and the threaded holes on top of the roll bar but the cross brace is a tad too long to get the included twist bolts to thread, could be fixed by grinding or slotting the screw holes a little, minor gripe.
3.The back hangs off just enough that using the included Velcro would be problematic to fasten to the back of the roll bar.

Yikes! After reading and seeing this, I don’t even think I am going to unbox mine when it arrives tomorrow!

As a small business owner as my side job, and a Product Manager for a large corporation as my day job, I can’t fathom why they would let this product go to market?
To me, it seems they got one proof copy of the design, approved it, then never checked an actual production version
So it's made by Rampage, why wouldn't they do a header bar that clamps down on the front like Bestop does with Wranglers since they have all that with the Trailtop already?
My guess is that would probably double the cost. Or at least another $100-$150.

Looks like about $99 from Bestop, when we had ours on our Wrangler you could tighten it really good with this, would probably make this product usable.

Man, no one wanted this top to work more than me. I just don't get why this is so hard to get a viable bikini/bimini/brief top for our Broncos without having to apply Velcro everywhere.
Rugged ridge makes them for JL that has a metal header piece that the top mounts to, surely we could get something like that. We all know its gonna flap some but come on, figure a better way to attach it to the windshield. Bummed.

Gotcha. I guess if someone made something like that for the Bronco. The Rampage one that was referenced has a little more going on, it's curved and has clamps like the factory piece.
Would like to see if @HavocOffroad has any insight into whats up with the top fitment issues. I've been looking for something like this but if it's as bad as everyone's saying it's also going to be a pass.
