I noticed @TFLtruck ditched their noisy MIC top and installed a Bestop fastback twill top. Did I miss the video update or can you give a review for folks curious about a possible roof solution that doesn’t have issues? It certainly looks the part.

I saw it in 2 of their recent videos - no video so far of it getting installed or reviewed.

Well it does LOOK a lot better than the Ford soft top in that picture. The side windows are nice.

Maybe they were given the soft top as a consolation prize.

Hey nice find! Detectives over here ha!

Video is not live yet, but yeah we went with the BesTop trektop.

They use a proprietary technique to bond in the quarter windows that is unique to BesTop, the webasto factory soft top has a different design that creates the window wave.

VERY thick canvas, and it doesn’t do that silly lift up rear clam shell like the factory unit. Just flip open the rear window like a Jeep. This will be available as a Ford accessory or direct through BesTop, will update if there are any issues or failures but so far very impressed. No zippers, no hassle

I look forward to the review and price info. Really enjoyed all of the comparison videos lately and the video on no regrets for the Wrangler purchase. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the kind words!

This is definitely an early unit, but BesTop is just down the road from us in Colorado and it was a way for them to get hands on with a bronco, double check instructions that kind of thing. No price yet, hopefully soon.

We actually combined this with the optional mesh Bikini (I believe officially called Bimini) so when you throw the top back there is still a little sun protection which is neat

I'm hoping Ford makes this available as a 2-door option as we've seen it in action for months now.

Solutions can be had, just not given.

How's the noise? Is this not the $2k tell top that ford sells as an accessory?

I’m pretty sure this is the same one on Ford website.

I could care less about the full fold down feature of the Webasto top, I’d rather have a higher quality soft top like this one with a better rear access and thicker windows. Hoping my dealer can order and install upon delivery and maybe “sell” them back the ford soft top in exchange for other accessories.

B6G needs to start a Petition with Ford. Offer two door orders and VIN holders and Purgatory vehicles the option to switch to the Bestop Trek Top immediately, so we can get our two doors!! The MIC is a failure and the proposed fix only theoretical. Give us a roof by a vetted manufacturer or our money back!
