No problems with mine. I also have Dirty dog's insulation blanket installed. Cuts noise levels way down and insulates great even in minus 30F+ wind chills.

.....On a separate note I haven't heard much about hard top availability lately. I'd still like to get either a black or matching hard top at some point. Any idea how much they'll cost and if they'll do anything for owners that originally had them as part of their build but dropped them? Or any after market hard top recommendations? I had seen the ADV one a while back but seemed pricey.

Ahhh, no. Hard tops are expensive and shipping more so. Your only best bet is to find one for sale locally and hope the person does not know what they have, a possibility in the jeep world, non existent in Bronco world. It is 100 times easier to find, buy, and ship a soft top, and they are readily available aftermarket. The absolute best way is to get the 2 top option when buying. I hated the fact Ford made us drop that in 2021.

As far as Ford "helping out", there is no chance of that; you made the choice.

The option is now available. Maybe if you have a friend that will be ordering when the banks open up you can have them order the dual top and pay them the difference?

Little late to the party but I didn't see it covered. There have been some reports of the Ford top lifting in side winds and allowing snow in.

So far very happy about how my Bestop is taking the winter. I may never put the hard top back on.

Ran all winter here in MN with 80 inches of snow and down to -26F never had an issue or felt any colder than any other vehicle I was in. And two blizzards with no snow getting inside. I am definitely glad I didn't hold out for my original dual tops, I will never use or need a hardtop.

I live in north central Wisconsin and never even considered a hard top. The soft top is great.
