Old school hardtop

[bastardsonofelvis]

Another one of these threads?
*blows raspberry*
Plenty of 4x4 options with fixed roofs. Why on earth would anyone want to eliminate what makes the Bronco special?

I could definitely get down with a one piece aluminum top though since I only use mine in winter. Bolt that sucker down in November and take it off and store it in June.

I've got a 2-door. I would like a 1-piece removable top especially if it would take away that additional wind-sound that seems to come from somewhere on the passenger side.

Yep, I would love a one piece hard top that is more insulated/soundproof.

In my youth I had a G1 and then a G3 (yes I’m on old fart) which had more traditional roofs. I’ve never been really excited about a removable top and even through multiple Jeeps and two G6’s, I’ve removed the front panels less than a handful of times and never the rear top. I’m curious if anyone else would prefer a traditional roof option? Quieter and insulated. I would bet that the large majority of owners never remove any part of the hardtop roof but maybe I’m wrong. Would you purchase a hardtop model that wasn’t removable?

I would NOT have bought our Broncos had they been a fixed roof. Coming from a family of Broncos,Scouts,Jeeps and a few Blazers,I love the ease of the modular top on the G6 Bronco.

As much fun as I had in this Blazer,I do NOT miss removing the solid one piece roof off this Dinosaur. You talk about heavy.

A removable one-piece aluminum top with a sunroof would be a very attractive option. I would want a sliding interior liner to block the sun and quiet the wind noise there when not using it.

The sliding sunroof on our 2013 Forester had a surprisingly big opening when fully retracted and felt almost as open-air as having the front panels off in the Bronco. Only with less turbulence as it had a pop-up deflector.

Traditional roofs? Every Bronco ever made had some form of removable roof.

I just want my top to seal. I can literally see the sky through the gaps in my top even when it's fully installed.

Dealer wanted to keep it for 3 weeks while it was still under warranty and said "Ford doesn't do loaners anymore," so there's no way that was possible for me since I have a real job. I cut up a beer koozie and shoved it in the gaps to at least keep water out, but damn it's still effing loud on the highway.

The execution of the removable top is so poor that I would take a fixed roof.

Pics of your Miata? I bet it's adorable.

I had one. Tracked it every chance I got

I knew another guy who built a heck of a fun little track car out of a miata. He had a blast with it.

Traditional as in Gen 1-5, not a copy of a Jeep hardtop. They also only har two doors until 2021…

My 89 has a 5.0 V-8, conversion done in 90, was on the cover of Autoweek. 35 years later still a blast.

That's awesome! I bet it hauls ass!

My uncle has a shelby kit car with a 5.0. It's a blast to drive

Why would anyone buy a convertible and never remove the top? That’s the main reason I bought mine. Majority of the time I’ve only got 1-3 sections off. I rarely remove the back one - only because it takes 2-3 people to do so. I remove the doors as much as I can. If I see a long dry period coming up. The doors are off until it rains
