I’m sure I’ll have a 4dr oem soft top available for sale after the first week of taking delivery. Will be replacing with bestop, dont need the silly rear lift feature and def can’t stand the oem softtop windows. Give me what my jeep has and I’ll be happy. No need to reinvent the wheel on a softtop.

Yep I'll be doing the exact same thing. Switched to soft top to get mine sooner, but I'll be promptly switching to the Bestop after I get it. The fastback slant on the Bestop will also help visually shorten the super long look of the 4 door too.

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.

love the fastback look but I REALLY wanna see it in beige or khaki

Will there be any market for the OEM top? With so few broncos on the road I wouldn't think much. I guess maybe some MIC top people would want a cheap soft top in lieu of the bestop. Would I prefer the bestop? Sure, but not sure I'd pay $2k to upgrade. Would rather invest into a new hard top.

This is the route I am going, Bestop and sun shade. I plan on only using my MIC top for longer travel destinations and winter time which isnt that long by me.

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

Doesn't have that soft top window wave that the Ford one has

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

Wind/traffic noise compared to the MIC?

Im sure there will be some people that wish they had the dual top option and keep the oem look. But I also just realized that I may want to hang onto it since I’ll be trading in order 1 BL w/ soft top for MY23 4dr BL w/ mod top when it arrives. So would want to keep the aftermarket bestop.

THAT TOP LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER!

 

[Dads_bronze_bronco]

I totally agree, Ford set a very low bar with the soft top, that fast back top looks much better.

Ford went with Webasto instead of Bestop for their OEM soft top. I get that Bestop was probably more expensive, but for obvious reasons (like they know WTF they’re doing when it comes to off-Road SUV soft tops, and their window quality is higher.)

I love the look of it, but I cant quite stomach the idea that it doesnt fold all the way back.

The soft top is the summer top for me, and Im most concerned with how easy it is to go full convertible. If all I wanted to do was to get an open sunroof, Id just get mic year round and leave the rear clamshell on. (assuming of course, that I could get a MIC top...)

I hope they release another version with the 2nd position.

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

After seeing the wrinkly FoMoCo soft top I went with the MIC figuring it'd be less than a year before Bestop had a better offering.

Little did I know that Ford/Webasto would screw the pooch on the MIC so hard......
