Finally installed the hard top today. After figuring out the bimini was a PITA to try and do installed, it went bye bye. It's highly probable I'll not take the it off any further than the front two panels anyway. Brackets, remove soft top side window front attachment panels, a few bolts and done. Since I was built pre-prep package we're just going to plug the wiper hole in the glass once we find the right size. The next one will take about 45 minutes after the glass is glued in the cap.

Ordered it through normal parts channel. Took about 4 months for everything to get here and am still waiting on the sound deadening pads and rear window hinge trim caps.

I thought you could not get a hard top through parts yet? can you describe the process and how much it cost to get a hard top.

Good for you to just go out and get it done! Looks like it can at least be done. and the parts look nice. I'll probably be sticking to my soft top for a while.

Obviously, this is not practical for anyone right now. We wanted to see what was involved since we will, hopefully, be doing these swaps once Ford comes out with a kit. I'll probably jump this to my next bronco assuming I go with a soft top again and they don't do any major design changes.

Hi Phil, on my old build sheet for 2021 the 2 tops MIC + soft top was $1795. Are you saying that the aftermarket hard top is $10K? From Ford? Thanks

I know my personal experience, I could order just the parts from the parts counter for ~$7500 and there would be there in 5 days. We asked for a quote when we picked our Bronco last month. I didn't question any thing further since we're not willing to spend that. We'll wait for prices to come down...

I'm saying, in order to get a hard top after the fact, without a kit being offered by Ford, the retail cost to piece everything together on a 4D is just over $10K retail. This includes the sound deadener, all glass, hardware, wiper, wiper motor, washer jet and brackets. Those with the prep package will not have to buy a few pieces of hardware and the front brackets so this list applies to those pre Sept. 1, 2021.

I have to believe that Ford will offer a kit that has everything needed in one "box" that can be purchased and installed for $4K-$5K. The cap itself was in a huge crate, all the glass was sent in separate packages, etc. If this setup is more than $4K, it's going to be a hard sell.
