2023 Bronco Soft Top Window Seems Less Wavy

Can you still lift the back up, from the tailgate?

Of course.

Of course.

Cool, that was their excuse for the wavy windows in the first place.

The windows never bothered me either. Heretics we are.

Yes, we probably should be banished to hardtop hell
PS - I actually prefer the wave … really!

Took delivery of a 2023 Badlands on Monday, and the soft top side windows are the least wavy I've ever seen on a new Bronco. Did I just get lucky? Anyone else taken delivery on a '23 and notice this? They'll probably get wavy as time passes anyhow, but still.

Wtf...
That looks straighter than the glass in my hard top!

Look great compared to mine. I love my soft top. Haters gonna hate.

Amen to that.

I love my 4 door automatic soft top. Who knew a fake Bronco could be so fun!

Did this part number change? To me, this is part isn’t designed right, it isn’t lined up with the rest of the rail and is too flexible. Might not be 100% the cause of the wave but it sure isn’t helping. Was considering modding it to move it lower to pull the window tight, leaving it alone for now.

Notice all the dirt under it, it wasn’t sealing either. I adjusted the soft top main bracket, had a little to give to bring the front down but still not enough.

Thank you! 6 pages in and people don’t realize it’s how the windows are attached, not the windows themselves that cause the problem. Well, there was a person on page 5 that mentioned the rails, but still…

I don't have any skin in the game with a hard top. BUT... here are part numbers:

• Right side: M2DZ-78501C22-DB
  • Replaced M2DZ-78501C22-DA
• Left side: M2DZ-78501C23-DB
  • Replaced M2DZ-78501C23-DA

The problem is I can't tell through the parts system when the new parts replaced the old parts. For all I know the *-DA parts were pre-production components that were never put into production vehicles, and the *-DB parts were the only parts that were actually sold with the Bronco.

So those of you who currently have a soft top are going to need to post your part numbers from your tops along with your production date to try to figure this all out. Good luck/have fun.

Could you get the part number for the back aid top window also.

thanks

I've seen some so wavy that in order to straighten them up, the window would have to be so tight that no mortal man would be able to secure the fasteners.

No wavy windows on my soft top!

Exactly how I run in the summer as well.

I imagine, as it heats up and things get more stretched out from use it may get more wavy. Hopefully not, the waves look terrible.

I bet Ford is reading this thread laughing at all of us

I rolled like this May to October last year.

I went from a 2 Door MIC top to a OBX SAS soft top so I can roll like this all summer. Looking forward to April so I can get Bronco out and start driving it!
