Your Ford Bronco brings the fun to every adventure with the remove soft top option.
Your soft top can be opened partially or you can fully open it. In addition,
you can actually remove the whole thing.
You can do this without removing any of the windows.
Simply lower the visors, then release these two latches in the headliner. Push the soft top
up and towards the rear of the vehicle.
In the glove box, you’ll find these Velcro straps
to hold it in place if you’re going off road or just driving on rough roads.
For this, you’ll need to remove the rear quarter windows and rear window.
We’ll start with the rear quarter windows.
Release the Velcro at the top of window. Then starting at the top, pull the rear
edge of the fabric out of the slot. Now, unbuckle the three clips at the
top and release the front edge by pulling the fabric out of the slot.
Slide the bottom panel forward all the way out to remove it.
Repeat the process for the other rear quarter window.
Now, on to the rear window. Release the Velcro
all along the top and flip it up. Fold the bottom corners rearward to disengage the clip.
Then remove the top corners from the slots.
Unbuckle the four clips at the top and slide the bottom of the window out, left or right.
Now, let’s go back to the soft top. Remove the straps.
Then press down the handle on the driver side of your vehicle to unlatch the soft top.
Lift and rotate the soft top towards the rear of the vehicle. Press down
on both sides of the soft top to latch it. Then add the Velcro straps to secure it.
From this position, it’s easy to fully remove your soft top.
Start by removing the panel covers above the rear wheel wells in the cargo area.
You may want to place a rag or towel down behind the quarter trim to catch
the bolts so they don’t fall into the wheel well. Next, get the Bronco took kit from your glove box.
Find the 13 millimeter socket tool to remove the three bolts on each side.
Push up on these latches on each side of the rear corners of the soft
top. Placing towels on the rails will help protect
them from getting scratched when you lift the soft top off with a friend’s help.
Store the top in a secure area, then replace the panel covers, and you’re good to go.
Start by once again removing those panel covers. Then, with a friend, place the top back on the
vehicle and secure the three bolts on each side, replacing the panel covers when you’re done.
Remove the straps, then unfold the soft top by pressing down
on this latch. Then grab this rail and lift the soft top back to the partially opened position.
Next, you must reinstall the rear window. Slide the window in the frame at the bottom,
making sure to insert the top corners into the slots
and then pushing the bottom corners in. Fasten the four buckles at the top
and press along the top of the window to secure the Velcro strap.
Now, reinstall the rear quarter windows. Slide the window in at the bottom. Insert the front edge of
the window into the slot on the seat pillar. Insert the rear edge of the window
into the slot on the rear window. Now, fasten the three buckles at the top.
It’s important to make sure that the top edge of the window is tucked under the tension
cable at the front. This will help avoid water leakage. Press along the top of the
window to secure the Velcro strip, and repeat these steps for the other rear quarter window.
Fully unfold the soft top, then secure the two latches in the headliner.
To gain quicker access to the cargo area, simply open the swing gate, then push up
on these latches on each side of the soft top. Then lift up the back and pull down on the prop
bar and secure it to hold the top in place. Now you have more space to load your gear.
