Lifetime but no specifics yet. If you don't roll it, jump up and down on the thing, put a tree branch through a window, or light it on fire you are probably covered.

We are a little behind on the warranty. It was kind of put towards bottom of the list with everything else going on, sorry we will have it soon. Just know it is lifetime from manufacture defect to the original owner of the top.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up. We will be headed up to KOH tomorrow. So the shop will be closed Jan 31 - Feb 2. If your at KOH, come find us camped with The Bronco Nation. We will have koozies(which includes a free beer) and T-shirts.

Todd, how dare you take time away from the endless hours spent working and responding to all our hardtop questions, travelling to pick up Hardtops, etc., just to go have a little Bronco fun and promote your business? Don't you know we need you 24-7???
(Written with all implied sarcasm)

Have a great time!!!

I sure hope you strapped free beer to the hard tops that are shipping??

Enjoy your time there, and enjoy your well deserved time off... Well, sorta.

Some quick feedback after delivery and install of my TOR.

• Unboxing and install is super fast and straightforward. Once it is unboxed it was probably 5-10 minutes tops to put it on and adjust the latches (not including taking off your soft top). You will need a hand and if you lifted your Bronco or have a sasquatch your wife might not be able to get it up that high so a tall wife or an average male. It is not very heavy.
• If you know Jeep tops you know what you are getting. Solid/proven fiberglass construction. There is a reason for offering the lifetime warranty. Feels strong and does not seem to flex much if any. Not having bolt together side panels is a big plus IMO.
• For the headliner if you have ever had a Leer topper for your truck or the carpet in a ski boat that is what it looks like. It is black and tight knit. It may have a deadening layer as it feels thicker than simply carpet.
• I've barely driven around town (no freeway yet) but it immediately eliminated ALL squeaks and rattles. My street has drainage channels running across every 10 yards or so (picture and inverted speed bump). I hit them at speed, went slowly, and crossed at angles and could not get a squeak out of the top or the Bronco for that matter. Same with driveway and parking lot entrances, potholes, rough streets, and manholes. I took decibel readings with my old soft top prior to removing it at several different speeds. When I get a chance I will take and post readings of the TOR top and post results.
• The top arrived with a fairly substantial film or polish. Not sure if it is a wax, polish, or release agent. It will surely mellow out the super glossy look when that washes off.
• Someone mentioned the side glass angle does not match the angle of the top. It definitely does but if you are not looking directly perpendicular the rounded rear corner can give an impression that it does not. There is an angle/line in the fiberglass mold that is perfectly lined up with the window.
• The latches are not fancy but they work well. If staring at the ceiling is your thing you might not be satisfied.
• Four places where it is branded: most noticeably the obvious side patches, stenciling on the inside of the side windows (sort of low-key), stenciling on the rear window, and the rear glass hinges which blends in. Obviously an issue for some buyers but very easy to scrap off the glass, cover the patch or replace it when TOR offers a delete or customization.

In short you won't be surprised by what you are getting. It is a fiberglass top like Jeeps have had forever. This is not some ground breaking technology but we see how well that works with the OEM MIC. The tolerances are tight, the color is consistent, it is squeak and rattle free, and it was delivered super fast and undamaged.

awesome review
great to see a quality top option for the community actually materialize

when they drop a 2dr version I will have a tough choice to make, especially considering the latches
I'm constantly looking at them when driving...

Thanks for the write-up. Everyone of these makes me more and more excited for mine to arrive - it's en route as I type this!

The latches bothered me at first too, but someone made a good point about the benefits of them being adjustable so you can keep it tight over time. I'm sure I'll get used to it - As long as it's functional and secure and doesn't wear out, I'll be happy.

Thanks for posting your thoughts, and Congrats on your new top!!!
I have a feeling you are spot on with your opinions of the solid cap vs bolt-on side panels. (That was a big factor in my finally switching to TOR).

I'm gonna give you the good and the bad so here is a follow up on the branding. I couldn't for the life of me get a picture of the rear window branding from the outside no matter the angle. You really only see it when looking out your rearview mirror but then it really shows up. Pic from my mirror.

Pic of the top after the factory wax/shine was removed. I have applied nothing to the fenders or tops.

i wonder if there is going to be an "exchange program" if/when upgrading the back glass to add the defrost/wiper/washer? (And if so, will they prefer you leave the logo on the original glass?)

That’s a great question because I plan on swapping out the glass once the wiper/defrost option is available.

I can't imagine shipping my rear glass back to them would be cost efficient, but I'm also up in Canada.

I do assume they'll ship a new rear glass to be installed, but you might be left to deal with the "old" glass. I could be wrong though. I guess I'm in a different situation due to my location.
