Why did they engineer TWO different MIC tops!?

I mean, honestly. The 4 door has an extra, backseat panel which is removable. This could of been designed so BOTH 2 door and 4 door clam shells could of been IDENTICAL! I'm sure in every other facet, like size and mounting, they're identical?
But, instead, the middle section on the 4 door had to have some fancy zig-zag angle to it.
I'm sure there is some pencil pushing manager face-palming this obvious faux pa

Not a possibility. The rear clamshell is much smaller on the 4 door (look at window length).

Good point...
I guess they could of compromised the 2 door window...?
It's probably a consideration they made in early design

While the simplest solution is generally the best, some things are far more complex than they would appear from the outside. If there were a way to save a penny, they would have.

This is true... I can't wait to find out where they DID cut corners!

Then it would be called a jeep!

Oh yeah, after whining about waiting months/years, most of us will eventually turn our complaints to the things we wish Ford did better.

Zero clue about even the simplest dimensions.

Zero clue about production economies of scale

Because the 2-door incorporates a pair of cupholders to appease Bronco6G members and their impossible standards.

On the 4-door you have to throw your beverage into the side windows and lick it off, because every 4-door owner is a ginger and has no soul.

well for starters, no rear glass connections for factory soft tops

That may be an option when the doors and top are on, but the window-licking-gingers would be shit out of luck with the doors removed. The littering fines would quickly add up and the environmentalists would have a conniption fit bearing witness to beverage vessels flying out of Broncos.

I think they’re supposed to dump their beverages into their all weather liquid entrapping floor mats, and then slurp up their beverages through extra long twisty twirly paint matching straws.

Edit: The antimatter blue straws really pop in the sun!

I would think they aren't identical?

Nope, they're not... But maybe they could of been, given the struggles Webasto are going thru.
