Soft Top mounting holes changed on newer Bronco????

[Ryan Feilner]

My WT with hard top was built on 10/17/2022. I bought a second hand soft top that was made 11/8/21. For some reason 2/3 mounting holes on both sides do not line up at all....??? The bottom ones looks like it does, but the top 2 are much wider than the trucks narrow threads....

I'm usually pretty good at these sort of things, but my bronco seems like its only meant for the newer version some were talking about.... I thought only the windows were updated though....?

Is the mounting pattern different on the new Bronco's so I can not use an older soft top??

Thoughts??

Sure hope I didn't waste money on a top I cant use..... Please look at the pics and let me know if anyone has pics of their 2021's/early 2022 to confirm the thread pattern has indeed changed.

I think you're missing a bracket. Check out https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/soft-top-hard-top-swap-tips-lessons-learned-updated.35246/ You'll also want to read about the other difference in that thread as there are different trim panels in rear cargo area as well as exterior of vehicle.


Specifically this bracket seems to be what you're missing - https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...ps-lessons-learned-updated.35246/post-1306374

@5PC24 is correct. You don’t mount directly to the inner wall. Was it a new in box kit? If not, you want those brackets, the trim panel pieces that surround that area when you are done, the two pivot point brackets for the roll bar, the plates for the rear cargo lift to latch into and the plastic window trim panels.
