Must Have White Soft Top!!!!

[Sparkie]

Ford used to put white tops on Mustang convertibles for years. They have to be meticulously maintained as they will get extremely dirty and weathered.

I have owned 2 white convertible tops cars, a tan top and a black top. Yes, the black top is so very forgiving if you let it stay dirty. However, it was not that hard to clean the white tops. But honestly, the white tops looks so nice. When I pulled up to the ice cream stand on a cruise night and parked my white top next to the same model car with their black or tan top, people swarmed my car.

Easy to keep top clean. Wife’s car. Garage kept. Biggest travesty of the Heritage vehicles is Black soft top only option. And for 2025, you can get painted tops in Body color. A white top is so easy, yet Ford is cheap as usual.

Here's a thought.... heading down to border (Mx) or reach out to some shops near by.

Good luck!

I want a white soft top. Anyone, any help, anything. Will pay to have one. Trying to find a person, place or company that will stitch one up. I have the black soft top as a template. Would pay $$$$$ but not paying and waiting a year. But willing to work with anyone that can make it happen. Any help appreciated. I have reached out to the big three with no response. Pisses me off they will build other colors for J&&p and not Bronco. Want to drive my Heritage with a white soft top. Please help. Again, I am posting that I am willing to pay ridiculous for a white soft top. Heck I would even do a 2/3 flip backing white as an alternative. Thank you.

@Carnutdallas , I had a severely worn out tan top on the sports car in the photo below. It was in serious need of replacing. I went to 5 custom car upholstery shops (one did custom marine work) and they all refused to do it. So I contacted https://www.convertibletopguys.com/ in South Carolina. I had to removed the top with the frame with the window still attached and ship it south to them. I had them replace the tan with oyster white twill fabric. The lead time for the work was nearly 3 months, but those guys did a fabulous job. The white did require more frequent cleaning than the tan, but it was not that hard and definitely worth it. Sometimes it just needed a hard spray down from the garden hose.

Since neither @RealTruck or @Bestop_Team (any color you want as long as it is black) believes we truly want white tops, I was hoping the Convertible Top Guys could help me get one. Unfortunately, I don't have an existing top and frame. However, your post says you have a top. So give them a call and see if they can do something for you. As one of their customers, I will confirm their quality is fantastic.

I have a Heritage and I agree with you.

My white convertible sports car was only garaged for winter storage. In the summer, I swear the birds loved to use the top for target practice. The garden hose would clean it off quickly enough. If the sun baked it on before I got out there, the a pre-soak from the hose and a soft brush took car of it.

People were saying that it would be impossible to keep the white wheels clean as well. After almost two years, that has proven to be not true as well. White wheels were not uncommon on many 4 wheelers back in the 70’s. Same for white convertible tops. People should drive by a marina sometime. Plenty of white canvas tops.

I have contacted both @Bestop_Team and @HavocOffroad about getting a white top. Neither of them will do it. So I ordered a tan Voyager Fastback top from @RealTruck . The sales woman said it would ship out to me within 2 days. It's been almost 3 weeks and @RealTruck still can't even tell me if their warehouse has the top ready to ship yet.

That's a long time to wait and not receive any response. I'm truly sorry that this has been your experience. I'm happy to take a closer look at this for you. PM me or email me when you have a chance.

Thank you for your support. I don't know if you have more authority than @RealTruck 's Customer Service. They also said this is taking too long but they cannot get a response from @RealTruck's warehouse. I sent you a direct message with my order details and dates that I have contacted @RealTruck 's customer service along with their service tickets to the @RealTruck warehouse.

Does @Bestop_Team make anything in white for the Jeep? Would they make one in white for your Bronco, since they would already have the material and the patterns?

Bestop either bought or licenses the patent for the electric 6th gen Bronco soft tops originally marketed by MyTop.

When MyTop was initially advertising these tops, they included several color options. I'm not certain they had a white option, but I remember they at least had tan.

A few days ago I asked Bestop if they'd eventually be offering multiple color options for the eTops as MyTop had done from the outset. They said black is the only option for now but they are always monitoring feedback on their products.

I have an antimatter blue Bronco and always thought a white soft top would look good on it, even if it was dirty. On top of looks, I imagine it would stay a lot cooler in the summer compared to the black soft top I've loved having so far.

When my black soft top finally falls apart (and that day is rapidly approaching), I'll be buying a white painted hardtop from Ford or a white eTop from Bestop depending on which is available.

Jk, neither will be available.

My wife has a Heritage LE and I contacted MyTops almost 2 years ago to inquire about a white top and they advised that they no longer offer it as a color option. They did have it several years prior and stopped offering the color due to “constant issues with maintaining its color”. I requested & received their various color swatches including a tan, silver, grey and others but none met my wife’s approval. There is no chance she would deal with the various manual steps to drop the top so the auto folding MyTops was really the only option for her. When BestTops bought the company, I reached out to them and they have no interest in white let alone any other color.

@Carnutdallas the struggle is real & I gave up since the only game in town doesn’t want to play. I was able to find a place or 2 that would custom make a top in white but my wife only wanted a push button, powered solution so her Bronco remains as a hard top only. HWHL

As the owner of multiple white convertible sports cars, I confirm the following has always been true:

1. White canvas tops look fabulous on almost any color vehicle
2. White canvas tops will dull to a slightly off-white color in two or three summers
3. Dirt from the road, trees, and birds are far more noticeable on a white top -- up close. While cruising down the road or speeding down the highway, nobody sees it.
4. Cleaning often (sometimes just a garden hose) and only with proper detergents will help the top last longer
5. White vinyl tops stay true white better than canvas but suffer from "cracking" along folds and seams
6. White tops are found on boats and marine docks all the time. And yet, I never heard a proper explanation why the auto industry abandoned white tops. Maybe it was the same people who decide everyone only wants 4 door automatic cars...

Attention seeking much?

I used to have few wives like that.

I have kept boat canvas clean enough for years. Not worried about top looking a little used after 4-5 seasons. It will come on and off and stored. A white top should not be an issue if you make a Heritage Edition. But we know how Ford is. The Bronco is the only Ford I wanted and the last I will own. We plan on keeping for as long as we can, so spending the money to have what we want is in the budget. Just need to find someone to participate with the dream. Cheers.

PS. Please share the manual top leads you had above

Probably the same reason why people said you can’t keep white wheels clean. They are too young to remember that’s what we had back in the 70’s and before black wheels became the rage.
