    It's not a secret that we've had more than a few issues with the factory soft top that came on our new Ford Bronco! Some of the issues aren't really Ford's fault, while others...well, let's just say we decided it was about time that we just fix the whole thing - by replacing it with a Bestop Trektop!
    Hope you all enjoy the video!

    Now that's a nice looking soft top Bronco right there! The wavy factory soft top windows has been one of the things i found really unappealing with the Bronco. But that Bestop soft top makes it look absolutely amazing!!!

    My accessories Rep stopped by with his Bronco Demo. He had just had this top installed.
    It’s amazing.
    Already sold one to one of my Bronco Customers.
    This soft top is superior 10 fold compared to the stock soft top.
    Minimal wind noise, but completely eliminates the floppiness found on the stock soft top.
    Worth the money if you can’t stand your stock unit.

    Awesome looking new top! 200% better than stock top with its rippled windows for sure. It’s funny you show fit and finish. So when I said I didn’t like that to my dealer he shut me down and told me I have another buyer waiting if you’re not serious don’t waste my time! WTF really I’ll never buy a ford from this dealer ever after that! The wife also said paint for a 80k was crap yes dealer was marking it up 20k. Great video guys enjoy Texas have fun and thanks!

    After watching Chris put all that foam weather-strip on for the new Bronco top, I realize I could have used his help replacing the header seal on my JK. I got it done, but it doesn't look as nice as the Bronco job.

    Just as an aside for those who have a soft top on order, I have zero problems with mine. I was super nervous about it after hearing all the issues but I honestly really enjoy it. I’m sure this one is better but coming from a hard top wrangler JK I’m perfectly happy 🤷‍♂️

    I'm not sure about the Jeep's sound/roll bar, but . . . I used to have a 1990 Isuzu Trooper. It had a hard top and a bar just behind the driver's and front passenger's position tied into the B pillar. It stopped a very serious tree, and another time helped hold the entire vehicle's weight suspended between the driver's side roof rim and the lower rims of the wheel, when capsized in a unfortunate interaction with a newly wet road, tires that decided to hydroplane at less than 15 mph. So, the presence of that bar makes me feel better.
