Sun shade recommendations?

[Bshaw386]

I’m looking for a company that makes a sun shade that will cover the front 2 seats of the bronco. Meaning, I have a 4D, I would like to take the top 2 panels off over the from passenger and driver. But not the back seat panel or the clam shell. Anyone out there have an idea of what might work for me? Heading to Utah from VA in June and i would like to get the top off but limit sun burn. Thanks in advance

I've had the same thought about that and came across one on Amazon but it was so cheap looking and required long bungee cords that ran all the way back to the rear roll bar. I can't imagine leaving it on all the time like that.
I'll try to find the link and post it anyway.
Let me know if you find anything decent

Not sure if that product is available but I would just get full Jtops shade, it stays on with the roof. Plus if you decide to go topless with people in the back some day they won't be screwed. They have a 30 dollar discount or something right now... saw it in a thread on here yesterday.

EDIT: Link to said thread.

Yeah most of the stuff on there is sketchy. Will just flap around, and I worry about the attachment straps wearing the paint over time on the roll cage.

It was actually on eBay and the bungees actually ran back to the sides, above the rear passengers. Still pretty sketch...

For $40 it might not be a bad temp solution for your trip

OOOOooooo Herocar brand!

I see some coverage gaps in there, but now I'm just being picky. Might be worth a shot but i'd put money on that being an absolute mess with wind interference.

California Pop Top makes a really nice cab cover for most vehicles. I used one on my past 2016 Miata ND and the same one fit my past C6 Corvette as well. It is white to reflect the sun and covers just the roof of the vehicle or cab of a truck. The one I have fit really well and installed in about 1 minute. I am not sure if they make one for the Bronco yet or not.

Yea, I actually ended up getting the best top bikini top. It fits under my hard top so I can just leave it on. I got it straight from ford and used my points I got from buying the. Ron I so I ended up paying pretty much just shipping. It works great

Thanks, I was looking for something that I would not need to remove all three pieces of the hardtop to install though. I understand that is probably going to be tough to do since there are no crosspieces on the roof like Jeeps have though.

Did it reduce the noise in the cabin meaningfully. I have zero plans for ever taking the panels off, but if the bimini top meaningfully reduces cabin noise and/or reduces radiation of heat from the MIC directly into my bald head I will spring for it.

I was able to install it by only taking off the front and middle sections, didn’t need to take the shell off, but it would be much easier if you did

I really haven’t noticed any change in the sound or heat, but to be fair I wasn’t paying attention to it. So I guess if there is a change it’s negligible
