Why not have a solid top?

I hear Cheby has a new fixed top Blazer out. And:

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.

If it leaks you should head to the dealer to get that replaced under warranty.

I like the idea of the removable roof, but I've found that I rarely remove even the front panels. I, too would be interested in a one piece roof. It could still be removable - although likely very heavy. The 2001 Wrangler Sahara roof almost never comes off, either. So, I should have realized that wouldn't change with the Bronco.

Maybe the Bronco Sport is more your speed?

I came to say this. Not dissing the OP but it sounds like the Sport is what they want for themselves. And they are fine little cars. I was very surprised how nice they are when I have been in them.

Wow. Thanks for that high quality comment. Try not to hurt too many people with your sharp wit.

So that's a no?

Some of you guys can be real A$$ holes..... OP.... I get it. Personally I like my removable roof. But that removable roof is no where close to the "ONLY" thing that sets the Bronco apart. Not even close. IF Ford had put a solid non-removable top on it and all else were equal I would still choose the Bronco hands down and I would lament the fact that the roof was not removable...

That being said... If your roof is leaking, there is a problem. It should not leak. Take it to the dealer under warranty and DO NOT LET THEM TELL YOU IT IS NORMAL! It is not. Or find a way to fix it yourself. Weather striping and alignment... it is the way.

When I was vehicle shopping in 2021, the only vehicles that offered front and rear lockers was the Wrangler and S-10 Bison at about $20k above my Sas Bronco, and the Land Cruiser at twice the cost. So yeah when people talk about all these other choices, it's amusing.

There are so many mundane tin top boxes out there already maybe you should have bought one of those. You bought a “ulitity” vehicle with a plastic or cloth removable top, not a station wagon. The last thing this world needs is another tin box…or 4 door pickup…imho

It's like this girl I knew who liked everything about men except for one external feature--couldn't stand it at all. I told her that maybe she didn't want a man at all and she's been happier ever since she figured that out.

You want the veggie burger version of a Bronco and we, the holes, are telling you to just eat some vegetables, because that's what you want. No, no... you're too butch for that. You need a burger! ...it just has to be made out of anything but hamburger.

In my opinion, much better options exist if you don’t want a removable top or the soft top like I have. I feel even the convertible hard top would limit me. But I throw my softtop back nearly every day during the 65-80 deg time of year and mornings and evenings during the hot summer. However I get it. A removable full, well insulated, top would be great from Nov thru March.

Here you go:

I don't get it, you posted a normal 4 door Bronco?

Lockers and lift can be added to almost any 4wd vehicle. A removable top…. Quite a different story. I’m sorry that I don’t get it. I’m trying to honestly.

Love my removable top on my Bronco, wouldn't want it any other way. But buying a new vehicle with similar abilities, then adding lockers, lift and tires (while voiding your warranty), would still put you $10k about what the Bronco was offered at, doing that makes zero sense to me.

That’s a fixed roof vehicle with photoshopped sas wheels

I would a like steel or aluminum one piece top like my 74 Bronco had.
I don't see why that is such a problem to make.
I was younger back then but b I could take the top off my 74 easily with a buddy to lend a hand.
