It's interesting - those forks appear on my softop build when I'm in the 360 view with the top down/ removed.

Top up with the soft top, though - nowhere to be found? I would think this would be visible even here, unless the top somehow surrounds the fork?

I just noticed - Ford touts the ability to store the doors with the rig. Yet, they opt to lean them against the semi-trailer and lay the other on the ground.
IIRC that video is of the 2 door, doors store in the back of the 4 door only. The doors are supposedly too wide to fit in the back on 2 door.

I'm not familiar with that video, but the 2 door can't hold them in back...so could it be that?

Ok, I will take a shot. They do not show up on the two door build at all top on or top off. They only show up on the 360 view of the 4 door with the soft top so I am assuming something to attach/tighten the soft top.

Looking top on top off it looks to be a plastic cap to go over the clamp/tightener when the top is off and the attachment would be sticking out on it's own. Zooming in with top on and off that it what I guess anyway.

I believe this was right after the reveal at a marina that is just south of Washington, DC's National Airport (on the Virginia side of the Potomac River). That definitely was a 2-door Bronco, so no on-board door storage.

That thing looks huge for a locator.. Like Ford couldn't do better?
Considering that is exactly where my windnoise issue comes from on my Jeep, maybe Ford figured out you need to clamp the living daylights out of the corners.

If anything I might see the very forward edge of the space between them, but I'm not seeing or grasping how they actually interface with the top.
