ever had a jeep? wranglers do this too, its due to the pressure in the cab. (***Per my research on the wrangler forum***) The seals in the wrangler (and im assuming in a bronco) are designed to keep water out, therefore they make the doors really hard to close.

My rubicon did this until i replaced my freedom panels with the bestop sunrider. now theres enough of an opening somewhere to let enough pressure out that my doors close easily now. i wouldnt worry about this as long as nothing is rubbing.

maybe test this out by keeping your window cracked open to see if the door closes easier. or keep another door open while you test it out

The windows crack open automatically! Lol
Yeah, his needs adjustment. My 2 doors are perfect

Jeeps are full frame and require more force for that reason, as it's fully sealed when you close.

The Bronco being frameless, the windows don't roll all the way up and make a full seal until after the door is closed, so it's not quite the case of cabin pressure being the issue.

Either way, I think it's a GOOD thing, as it means the weather seal around the door is firm and sealing well.

The placement of the speedometer is terrible. It is almost completely blocked if you drive with your left hand in the 10 o'clock position. It also only has the speed listed in km, not km and miles like almost every other car sold in Canada since the mid-1970's.

I haven't looked at an actual speedo in 3 years...
Digital all the way (and right in the middle!)

I experienced a low frequency reverb noise in the cabin while off roading this weekend - particularly on washboard roads (MIC 2.0 roof) - opening the windows a little helped a little - but not much.

seat belt bulckle rubs against pillar in two door.
It sits right the tight spot between seat and pillar and bumps whenever seat is slid forward

I put mine between the seat and pillar and it hasn't moved or made a peep. Maybe move that seat more rear ward.

Lifting up the soft top rear pops the side panels front groove out on the passenger side, just about every time

 

[WuNgUn]

Nothing too much yet:
-large window visors seem a little much.
-The rear gate needs to be all the way open, and it opens slowly, to lift up the rear window.

That's about it. I have been fortunate, no issues with my Bronco and I like how it is set up and functions.

I love how the strut has 3 position detents. I've only lifted the glass once so far.

I've already done that a few times. crack the passenger window then close the door. It def closes as it should when I do that.

It seems like my door panel clip popped loose from the slamming... I have popped it back in and it is hasn't popped back out yet but I'm keeping an eye on it.

The ridiculously large visors… I guess qualifies as a quirk.

Can you explain when you mean by this?

I like how this "quicks" thread turned into a "Complaints" thread REAL quick...

Enh, that's all a 'quirk' is. A complaint that's not worth fixing, I'd suppose.

Mine is that I find i really like the soft top, but the fact that it in no way shape or form can be fully opened without getting out of the truck is tedious.

Whats everyones deal with the visors? They are the smallest visors on any of my vehicles. Its the tiny windshield...

It opens and holds at 45, 90 and 120 degrees. Under 45 and there is closing pressure on the strut. In between the other positions, there is opening pressure. Beautiful!
