- [Narrator] You drive a Ford Bronco to get outside
that's why we built it to let the outside in
with a removable hardtop option
and all the tools you'll need to remove it.
(upbeat rock music continues)
First, you'll need to remove the roof rack if you have one.
Get started by removing the front roof rack cover screws
with the T30 hex tool.
Then, remove the covers by pulling upward
and rotating toward the front of the Bronco.
Next, remove the front roof rack nuts
with the 10 millimeter hex socket tool.
And then at the back,
use your Bronco key to remove the cover
to access the rear fastener.
Loosen the rear fastener
with the special triangular bolt tool.
Then with some help, lift the rack up and off.
Your Bronco comes with two windshield trim covers
that you'll find in your glove box.
Place the plate over the roof rack mounting points
and secure the fasteners in place
with a 10 millimeter hex socket tool.
Then, attach the cover and snap it into place
and do the same for the other side.
Now, let's remove the hardtop.
First, you'll need to remove the front roof panels.
Be sure to start with the driver's side.
Fold the sun visors down.
Unlatch the driver's side header panel
at the top of the windshield.
Then, unlock the three L-shaped locks
on the driver's side front roof panel by turning them
and remove the driver's side front roof panel.
Repeat the steps
to remove the passenger side front roof panel.

The storage bag helps you protect the panels.
The front panels share a storage bag.
Make sure the panels are clean,
then flip the divider inside the bag out of the way.
Place the first panel in the bag,
add the divider,
then place the second one in and zip it closed.
Then, slide the bag
into the cargo area standing straight up.
Now to secure it,
wrap the upper roof bag strap
around the rear seat headrest snugly
without crushing the head restraint.
Hook the lower bag hooks to the forward cargo rings.
If you have a slide-out tailgate or other accessories,
you may have to store your panels horizontally.
To do this,
lay the bag down in the cargo area and install the loops
through the two D-rings and secure the panels.

After removing the fronts,
you can start on the center panel
by unlatching the driver and passenger side here,
then unlocking the three L-shaped locks.

Then, remove the center panel with a friend's help
and store it in a secure place.
(upbeat rock music continues)
There's one more thing you have to remove,
the rear panel.
To do that,
open the tailgate and lift open the tailgate window.
Locate the wire harness and washer hose
inside the cargo area on the rear driver's side.
Now, disconnect the wiring harness by pushing the tab
to release and pulling down.
Do the same with the hose connector
and secure both by plugging them
into their spots inside the Bronco.
Next, open the rear doors.
Then, remove the two screws
that secure the rear roof panel
at the C-pillar using the T50 Torx Plus.
Now, unscrew the four bolts on each side
at the base of the rear roof panel.
With the tailgate window still open and a friend's help,
lift the rear roof panel straight up.
Once the locating pins are completely out,
just lift the roof off.
Place the panel on a soft surface
and store it with the tailgate window open
to prevent damage.

With the help of a friend,
lift the rear roof panel onto the vehicle,
making sure to align the locating pins properly.
Attach the panel to your Bronco
by securing the four bolts on each side.
Then, use the T50 Torx Plus
to reattach the two screws onto the C-pillar.
Now, unplug the washer hose and wiring harness
and reconnect them.
Install the center roof panel the same way it came off.
Place it on the vehicle with the help of another person.
Latch the driver and passenger side latches.
Then, lock the three L-shaped locks on the center panel.
Now, take the front roof panels out of the bag
and place them on the vehicle, passenger side first.
Latch the header at the top of the windshield
and turn the three L-shaped latches to lock them.
Do the same on the other side.
Now, let's re-install the roof rack.
Remove the windshield trim covers
by pressing the button on the rear of the cover
and rotating it forward.
Then, remove the fasteners
with the 10 millimeter hex socket tool
and remove the plate.
Position the roof rack on the vehicle
and use the triangular bolt tool to secure the fasteners.
Then, snap the cover into place
and do the same for the passenger side.
Hand tighten the front roof rack nuts,
then finish with the 10 millimeter hex socket tool.
Align the cover with the alignment slot and rotate rearward.
Then, just use the T30 hex tool to secure the screws
and one side is done.
Repeat for the other side
and you're free to roam.
