When has skin cancer ever killed anyone? #TOPDOWNLIFE

I know several people that have died from skin cancers. I.e. melanoma, basil cell carcinoma etc. That statement is pure ignorance!

Last week of January and I am already running the Air Conditioner.

I don't run the AC until it gets in the 90s, and where I live we have the humidity to go with it. I know it gets brutal hot in Phoenix, but your highs have been 60s - 70s all week! I don't know man, for me nothing like feeling the wind in the face to unwind after a day at the office. Somtimes I put on a coat and drive with the windows wide open when its 35 degrees.

I know that there will be plenty of hate on this post. Let’s get the obvious out of the way…some people love the removable top-but not me.

I would absolutely love to have an option for a solid and fixed roof on this bronco.

I have a 2022 Badlands squatch with hard top and lux package and I love everything about it….except the removable top.

It is literally the only thing about the vehicle that I do not completely adore. The water leaks and noise are ruining an otherwise perfect vehicle for me. It makes me consider switching to another vehicle, but I waited so long for this vehicle and nothing else really compares.

I’ll keep it and love it, but the solid hard roof would be a game changer for me.

I agree. I also believe it would be an easier option (and cheaper) for FORD to produce. A one piece removeable, I see nothing wrong with it as an option.

The most simple thing to do is have Ford get your existing top right and then never remove any panels or the top itself. My top does not rattle ,squeak or leak and neither should yours.

I'm confused. If you did any amount of research before you bought the vehicle you were aware that it was not a solid top. The purpose for buying this type of vehicle (or wrangler even) is so you can remove the top or parts of it and the doors. So why then did you buy this vehicle?

Couldn't find a 4runner he liked and the Defender was out of his price range

Ignorance no. Sarcasm yes.

It's far from simple to get Ford service to get much of anything right -- multiple threads on this forum attest to that fact. And multiple more address all the hacking people have done to stop their hard tops from rattling, squeaking, and leaking.

ADV has a one piece roof option.

Well if the top did not leak or have defects maybe you would like it as is? I have no issues with my top- no leaks, drafts, etc. maybe it's just luck of the draw. I'll more than likely never take the top off- it's too heavy for my wife and I to lift it off and I have absolutely no where to store it, even briefly. But I like that it does have a removeable top- and also the removeable roof panels too. It's just a really cool feature. What I did expect is that there would be a soft option and it would be pretty much available- even on the 2 door- which there is not.

Nailed it on the bold.

I'm losing hope that a ragtop 2-door from the factory will ever happen. I have ZERO interest in the cardboard-core hardtop, because I have one of those lives and would thus be guaranteed to get a POS.

And while I'm ranting, bring back f*cking cloth seats in one model. I've seen enough of MGV in boats over time to know I don't want that either.

I bought a Bestop, and love it, even with its flaws and imperfections. That said, I hope to get a MyTop option in the future , thats what I really want.

As far as the seats, I ever get the money, ditching those for Katzkins with ventilation in a heartbeat
