Question for the group: how stable are the windows when you have the top down/off and windows up? I’ve searched but haven’t found any threads specific to this topic (yet).
I’m still some time away from my Bronco being built and currently driving a Wrangler. I’m not necessarily a fan of the full door frame design when I have the top off. Although, it does give good structure/stability for the windows when I want to keep them up while the top is off. The frameless window design of the Bronco is much preferred but I’m wondering if anyone has experienced issues in this configuration. My assumption is it‘s no big deal as every convertible car out there has the same basic function, but want to see if there’s anything I’m missing.
Of the many features that I prefer with the Bronco is the standard 1/2 doors. While I do enjoy pulling the doors off for a full nekkid ride, it can become a bit of a bear for extended periods. I usually take the top off for weeks/months at a time, but the doors might come off for a day or two here and there. Having a mesh top helps with wind and sun (esp in Dallas) as well. Depending on situation, my wife sometimes prefers to have windows up when the top is off as she actually has enough hair to mess up so I suspect I’ll be driving the Bronco top removed a LOT…and if I’m alone, windows down.
Thanks in advance.
