A little bit more from one of the insider sources on what kind of removable tops a Bronco could have:
Those three options make sense to me. A fully removable top would be reminiscent of EBs with a top off, the partial top would be reminiscent of both the EB pickup and the many years of FSBs with their stubby trucklike open back. I'm a little surprised and pleased to hear there might actually be a fixed structural top option as well -- more practical for harsh or unpredictable climates.
It also makes the various tailgate options with a window up or retractable more likely, as the mechanism would most likely need to be one the different versions could share.
I know there are a lot of people who prize the top removability highly, would these options be suitable, or were you expecting soft tops, or something jeepish?
The source, IIRC, is a someone involved with aerodynamic / NVH 'wind tunnel' testing, so it seems plausible they'd have seen the different versions, perhaps multiple times.
The way it was explained, one roof would be nonremovable, one totally removable, and one, the area above the front two seats would be stationery, and the rear removable. I may have it confused a little on that third option, my dog got bored and he wanted his share of the attention.
