Remove Rear Window Clips?

[BRMarshall]

When my Bronco Heritage arrived, it had these clips on the rear windows, they don't look like permanent items to me. Should I remove these, I haven't seem them on other hard tops?

They're only there for alignment during assembly. You can safely remove and discard them.

Welcome to the HE club, come over and check out our little thread we got going here:

I had these also, the dealer said "They are spacers for the hardtop, we usually leave them on"

Seems like dealer-speak for "We forgot to remove them during PDI"

I removed them, they looked stupid.

Did anyone have a video of the removal? I picked up another Bronco last Friday night and the clips were still on. They were closing up and I am supposed to bring it by this week to have them remove them as they should have during PDI.

If there is zero risk for me to cause damage I may just try myself but I didn’t want to scratch or harm the patient top.

I feel dumb but did you use any tool or just pull? I stopped as soon as I felt resistance.

thanks

Mine just pulled off with a little pressure, I doubt there is much risk. A couple left a little reside from the adhesive pad, just scraped right off with a plastic scraper.

Thanks. I feel like such a moron. I was just able to get them out with a little wiggle and pull and then a small cleanup of the adhesive.

no reason to feel like a Moron, they sure look like something left on for a purpose when you first see them, I wasn't sure either at first!
