What's an EASY hack/fix that REALLY improved your relationship with your Bronco?

[WheresMyBronco]

There's a ton I could probably include here, but these 3 things alone improved my relationship the most with the Bronco (by fixing my frustrations with it)

1. MIC Wind Noise Reduction Guide​
2. Adding Weatherstripping to Doors​
3. Suma Performance Mirrors​

Made it much quieter and easier to live with on a day to day basis.

3 stacked washers under the front seat bolts.

Suma mirrors are a near tie.

ASS deactivation dongle/plug in.

Added Tackform wireless charger to my dash phone mount. No more plug/unplug when I get in​

Getting the update done on the windows so they drop down 1/2 an inch when I hit the unlock button on the fob. No more window catch!!!

What is this update? Something done at the dealer or a FORSCAN thing?

What did you replace them with? Any pics? I have the same and dont love mine.

I purchased the white accent colored handles from Ford and white vent handles from BDUSA.

But on a serious note, switching to a soft top. Less creaky and easier to enjoy the open air at a whim.

Ok there Ford marketing team…

Silicone grease on the rear window seal (where it meets the tailgate) will make it silent when going over bumps. I waited far to long to do this assuming it was the rear body panels or storage area.

I used a clear 3m medical tape-worke

Silicone grease? Can I just lube her up with Vasaline? Would that work?

A nice strip of good sticking, rough textured tape works great. Black electrical tape looked nice but was too smooth so it made lots of noise with the rubber seal. I've had a strip of 3m transpore tape through a rainy winter and its worked great and held up but l want to find something like it in black. I just like not having the noise or adding grease...

Forscan deactivation of all the chimes/noises. Transformed the vehicle for me - hate that stuff.

Next step - cut/bend the headrests so they don't tilt forward so much.

I'm gonna try black gaffer tape tomorrow...

Ooo I will try that. I had been using SuperLube, but it leaves behind a sticky residue after a while.

Most of my cheap / easy hacks have already been mentioned by others here. I know Bestop has been mentioned: a bimini top of some sort is nice if you go around topless, helps keep the sun out of your eyes and keeps my face from getting as sunburned. I have a full one for completely topless that i used a good deal last summer, and a smaller one I got for Christmas but haven't had the chance to try out yet for running with just the front part of the hard top off.

Keep all rear seat belts latched which eliminates the seat belt OK nag screen.

I like this better than paying $80 for some shims, and it is more relevant for this topic.

Door module updates at your dealership. I had them do it while they did my oil change.
