This does not pertain to me however, I know that ordering both a hard top and soft top can be done. For those that have ordered both and taken delivery of both, how does your Bronco arrive: With the hard top on the vehicle and the soft top in a box or also installed under the hard top?
Asking as I was talking to a friend who is getting both and he said the dealer will install the soft top under the hard top.

Is this the way Ford recommends it be done?

Thank you in advance.

Iā€™m almost positive you canā€™t have the soft top installed under the hardtop.
That's what I thought but this is what his dealer is telling him.

I'd like to hear from those that received both tops at delivery and how things presented.

The soft top will ship separately and probably arrive in the parts department. It cannot be installed under the hard top

When I was selling wranglers, soft top was always inside, in a box, ready for a pain in the ass unboxing and install.

There is no way for both to be on the vehicle at the same time as others have stated. The soft top would bock both the front and rear mounting points.

Are the soft top panels that the windows clip into installed, or are they included in the box with the top?

Any suggestions on how to verify the soft top is in good condition if it is still in the box?

The dealer should install all necessary brackets for the soft top on the vehicle. There are plastic parts that replace the the panels on the C pillar that allow the soft top window to be installed. These can stay on under the hard top, there are also brackets that get bolted in behind the rear quarter panel trim that should be installed. And different inner panels that snap in for the soft top brackets. The soft top sets on these brackets with alignment pins and secured with 6 bolts. Other than itā€™s awkward to lift itā€™s pretty simple to install/remove. They also should install the strikes for the rear soft top latches near the tailgate. These can also stay on with the hard top. It should take less than 30 minutes to swap tops. I can have my soft top completely removed in 15 minutes if I have a hand to lift it off. This is my opinion. If itā€™s completely in the box I wouldnā€™t worry about it as long as all parts are there. It should take under 30 minutes to install the necessary parts.
