Since 2025, TrailRax has been in communication directly with Ford to address changes to the Bronco hardtop mounting points. As a result, we've developed new mounting clamps for the TrailRax Modular Roof Rack for the Ford Bronco that are compatible with both MIC and painted hardtops, accommodating both mounting point variations while maintaining the proven performance, strength, and capability of our Bronco roof rack system.

After extensive testing across all hardtop variations, we're confident these new clamps deliver a secure, reliable fit for every Bronco owner. We appreciate your patience and support as we worked to develop and validate this updated solution.

For those of you that ONLY need the new mounting clamps for your rack, please reach out to customer service and they will create a custom order for you.

Would the new mounting clamps be an improvement over the existing ones for those who have the original hard tops.

What is the change?
The new mounting clamps are designed to accommodate the varying mounting point depths found on many of the newer painted hardtops. This update was necessary because our previous clamp design was not compatible with some of the shallower mounting locations.

Other than the updated clamps, nothing has changed. The rack remains low-profile, retains the same load capacity ratings, and offers the same modular design and accessory mounting capabilities you've come to expect from TrailRax.

No, there is no need to switch to the new clamps since your rack is already installed correctly and functioning as intended. For anyone who has a MIC hardtop your TrailRax Bronco rack is already fully compatible with our original clamp design!

I ask because we installed a TrailRax on our '25 with a painted top. When I ordered it there was no indication that there might be an issue with a painted top. It appeared to install ok, but now I'm concerned.

Many painted hardtops were already compatible with our original clamp design, so you are likely all good! To verify proper fitment, you can send us some photos of your racks rear mounting points, and our customer service team can tell you if you are all set.
