I have the factory soft top, and while not perfect its a great top very happy with it. I only got the soft to get my Bronco sooner, with the intention of getting a hard top. After having the factory soft for 6 months, I enjoy it enough I'm going to put off getting a hardtop for awhile, maybe until it wears out. The frame and mechanism on the factory top is much more sturdy, and it stays put in the sun rider position without bouncing around. Just because you can stick your hand through doesn't mean that much, I've been through some downpours and it does the job. That said I'm glad there are other options, and this Bestop does look good. It is also likely to be much less expensive than a OEM product from a dealer.

Had a jeep. Bought the bronco and it had this top already on it. I prefer the soft top for no overhead bar and no need to store panels and a rear shell. Unclamp put it back and go. I did want the factory soft top to go fully all the way back though.

I have the factory soft top and I have no complaints. I've had none of the issues you complain about. Plus I've been told by jeep owner they prefer my roof over there's. This is just a case of subjective nature and bias opioin.

Owners seem pretty happy with the stock set up.

Watched other videos on this top and the reason he went from the meter to his ear is because a couple other videos have claimed the noise is actually a little louder and you can’t put the top all the way down. It’s why the wrinkles are there on the oem so the top can fold down.

Your Bronco looks great with the Bestop. Love the fastback look. If it’s even a little quieter, it’s worth the investment.

@Mck499 Год назад

The one that comes on it from factory is a bestop, the literal only difference is ones slanted and the other isn't

The back side windows are wavy by design, because the back portion lifts up for access to the back of the cargo area AND because you are able to pull the top ALL the way back off the C pillars. If the windows were stiff, straight, not wavy the lift aspect would be less effective or not be possible at all.

@losersquadhd1234 Год назад

I understand that but jeeps soft top rear window can be totally removed much easier in seconds really or can be flipped up onto the top so its out of your way plus the tailgate bar is removed with the window so it isn't in your way once removed. The Bronco rear window has the molded corners meaning you need to at the very least undo the side windows from the rear window to remove just the rear window and even once removed the tailgate bar is still there. The lifting features is neat in theory but it does limit what you can and can't put in the back, including the doors.

My soft top is perfect. And throwing the top back on a nice day is undefeated

@JustinKingOffroad 2 года назад

this is why i'm holding out for my hard top bronco. i want it now, but i'm not willing to take a soft top.

@ski3435 Год назад

Put the decibel meter away and just listen to see if it's quieter? C'mon, man! Looks like the new top just has better looking rear windows and isn't any more quiet. You didn't show how to access the rear storage with the new top. I drove the Bronco Outer Banks 4 door with a soft top today (highway 75mph and city). I had no problem holding a normal conversation with the person in the passenger seat. There was wind noise, but it wasn't much. The noise issue is overblown.

@Bdennie84 Год назад

I am interested in one of the tops

@keithwaddell4103 Месяц назад

I have a 23 Bronco Wildtrak soft top no issues. Like with any soft top noise will be there.

@007Omega 2 года назад

I am fine with the OEM top. Noisy, yes Problems with not sealing or wind lifting it = NO, none. The way it Looks = Reminds me of the old WWII Jeeps. (at least to me) (Side windows could be a little tighter, but I think they have to be like that so that the rear can lift up.) The aftermarket tops that I have seen, do not lift up in the back.. I will keep mine until I can get a Modular Hard Top.

@jasonmotley3937 Год назад

I agree, love my top. Styling is awesome!

On windy cold days. Do you feel a draft come in the cab?

@1AXMRDR Месяц назад

It's a convertible. They are all noisy. Nice to have options but I will stick with the extra features the stock cover provides.

@WORPIONS Год назад

My buddy bought the best top and has the same problem with the side to be loose , even the material from best top looks cheap. The folding was not consistent , Imsaw the 2023 model and looks way better on the sides , not sure if they reinforce that . Probably because they went cheap for the first version ,they invest all in hardtop but they had problems building it

LOL come on: "I can already tell how much quieter this top is" ~ both decibel meter tests show exactly the same ~ "I'm done with the decibel meter and will just use my ears to hear what I want"

@jeffbatchelor6489 Год назад

Can’t imagine spending 50k on one of these and having a soft top with holes.

@zacharyfike1071 2 года назад

I can tell a difference with just how you sound speaking. That new top is 100% better.

@Joelotto124 2 года назад

It’s amazing all that money for the bronco and the top has to be charged. It’s a shame that ford is putting out piece of crap products like that . If they can’t get a top rite imagine the parts on the rest of the truck. I was thinking about one but I will stick to my true and tested Jeep. Thanks for being honest in your review.

@Exodus4x4 2 года назад

Well to be honest you actually get more for your money for the Bronco, IF you don't pay an ADM. The factory top is horrible though lol.

@metalrain300 Год назад

@@Exodus4x4 Honestly, I feel like its more of a placebo effect. you just didnt like how it looks. which is fine. but your test showed it added no real improvement and you lost the ability to fully put it down at the same time. I'm not harping on you, it just an observation from the video.

@thomasberkey8163 Год назад

Far from crap, this guys is reaching hard. The top is fine and it’s quiet. I got mine with a soft top fully expecting to get a hard top at some point. Now now, no point. It’s way quieter then I thought it would be. Plus this guy showed their was no difference in sound with the bestop.
