Hey Guys/Girls,
I have a stupid question regarding the rear window Molly accessory. I love the look and functionality but I am curious how to have those and still be able to take off my hard top?

I have a Bronco Raptor and would love to have those but from the pictures I see they cover access to the bolts I need to remove for my hard top. Am I wrong? Might work for soft tops but unless I am mistaking can't be used for hard tops?

Anyone confirm for me?

Thanks

The panel for the rear side windows mounts off the roll bar so is away from the glass.
Coming from the rear you can fit your hand between the roll bar and the top and get to the bolts, but the front one is a little bit of a reach but can be done. So definitely doable will just take a couple of minutes to remove bolts

LOL!! You mean I am not the only big guy Bronco owner?!! LOL yeah I am thinking the same thing I would have issues getting around that for sure.

Glad someone else had a curiosity as well.

Thanks buddy!!

It depends somewhat on the specific brand of MOLLE panel you choose to install. I have the cheap Chinese ones and it is not very tight but would still be a hassle. However the MOLLE panel itself is held to the roll bar with 2-3 screws that will take only a minute to unscrew.

If you get the addictive desert designs rear Molle panels , they actually bulge inward for a more flush design from the inside. The other benefit is it gives much more room between the window to get your fat hands in there. LOL. They are expensive but very nice. I have these on my Bronco and love them.

I just installed my @Rockworkx and then my @Mountains2Metal molle panels. With this combo there's a ton of room between the window and molle panel to reach the Rockworks bolts. You can almost reach the front bolts from the rear but the great design allows easy front bolt removal from the front.

Which one of these Molle panels does not cover the bottle opener that is in the driver's side pillar? That would be a major problem.
