Hey all,

I have a 2021 4 door soft top Bronco with about 20K on it. I recently purchased a brand new soft top off Facebook Marketplace because I wanted an updated top with the rain channels Ford put on the 2023+ years. The person I purchased it from had never used it as it was part of a dual top option on an abandoned order that they didn't want. I didn't think to ask them to remove all the soft top parts that were probably installed on their vehicle as part of the dual top package.

My original top still has plenty of life in it and I figured I could sell it (had a small hole that has been repaired by a convertible shop). I didn't think to ask them to take those parts off in order for me to sell mine. I have the new top on but now the old one is sitting around taking up space in my garage.

I have the top, windows, C pillar plastic pieces, and the 6 bolts attach the top to the Bronco in the back. I do not have any other hardware.

Here is my question:
- Do all Broncos come with the pieces for soft tops? Or just soft and dual tops?
- Can I buy the parts I'm missing? Anyone know how many parts this might be?
- Think someone would buy this if they knew they'd need to source more parts?

Note: Worst case scenario I'll toss the top and keep the windows in the event any of mine crack. Person I bought from is too far away for me to want to ask for these parts from them.

1. Only Dual Tops and Soft tops come with hardware for soft tops
2. Parts can be ordered for Ford - but the plastic pieces at the outside corners of the tailgate that the soft top clips into are RIDICULOUSLY expensive. Like $850 just for those parts. Mountain2Metal makes a machined part that is ~$80 and superior anyways. The rest can be ordered for $300
3. Yes - they can get all the OEM parts except the metal bracket from M2M for < $400.
