I'm already planning on vinyl wrapping mine. It was going to be for cosmetic reasons, but now it's a real reason I guess
Just wrap the bars in a hot dog bun; you’ll be fine.

Don’t jeeps have cushions that go around the roll bars? Seems like that would have solved this problem
I’ve been thinking about this too, I feel like those cushions would be nice to provide a bit of extra padding when getting in/out, or god forbid in a crash. And it might help with this too.

True, but having the cage in body color makes the Bronco look great with the top off. It makes a big difference compared to Jeep and I wouldn’t want to give that up.

Difference between the Jeep rollbars and the Bronco's are that their are airbag curtains in the Bronco that would be inhibited from opening correctly in the event of a crash.

Come to think of it @flip , would PPF also inhibit the airbags? Having been in an accident with airbags before I would feel that the force of the airbags inflating would rip through PPF fairly easy but I have never worked with PPF. Also not sure if the force is equal to that which comes from the steering wheel.

Pre-production unit had another spot, so I guess keep an eye on the top corner of the rear quarter.

I got to check out a two door the other day. When sitting in the back seat, if I sit straight up, like I am going to rest my head on the head rest, my head would also hit the roll bar too. A little cushion would be nice there too.

I'll get some more pictures this week. I had to put the top back up due to rain.

I'll be reaching out to the dealer this week with this and some other minor issues. I fully expect to find issues like this as I get to know my Bronco. So long as the dealer and Ford address the issues, all is well.

I've had my Bronco for a little over 2 weeks now. Overall it has exceeded every expectation I have had for it.

BTW, I have probably driven it more with the top either retracted half way or fully down more than with it up. I might regret saying this in the winter but I think you are missing out if you went with the MIC.
