Wait til you take out your soft top windows and then re-install them… that’s some real fun stuff….
I’m still hoping that process gets easier…

This is a crappy picture of my soft top but I don’t think I’ve had the same issue. I’ve had it up/down 8-10 times now. good luck with this 😉

I like the gray striping. Were you able to do that yourself?

It does. I trained up my 13yo and 10yo. They each get a side and I do the back and top clips.

Yeah they came off easy... putting them back on took like 30 minutes though. Granted I was in the dark and wasn't sure what I was doing.

Now i've re-watched some videos and it seems like a piece of cake now that I know what to look for. That dual channel on the side window threw me for a loop though. I wasn't sure what was going on. Then I couldn't figure out which one went where. BUT now that i've done it and watched some videos, it's easy.

NOT something I think I want to do a lot though

you sure should not have a gap with light (and wind and rain and..) coming in. It's supposed to sit
Are you able to just stick your hand under neath? I mean it's covered but i can stick my hand inside. It doesn't have to clip on or anything it just folds down and sits over it?
yes, it should not be floppy, but on any convertible I've ever seen you can stick your hand in between, since it only clips to the front, no latches on the sides. Was the same in our Miata.

And if you're driving in really bad sidewind/rain, you might get sprayed a bit. It just should sit tight and not let wind in when driving on the freeway. If it's too sloppy, there are probably some adjustment points to tighten it up? I don't have mine yet, so I can't take a closer look. Couple more weeks...

How loud does your ride sound in the soft top? Mine sounds like there is a window open when closed, and I've tripled checked the back windows.

I’ve owned three Jeep’s with soft tops and the bronco is exceeding my expectation. It’s noisy at 70 on the highway but for me that’s to be expected. I’ve had zero issues with the voice commands at highway speeds.

I've never had a car this size nor a soft top so I might just not be used to it but I gets loud at 40. I will try some voice commands on the road tomorrow.
