Also had my hardtop wrapped in matte black. It has been almost two years and it's completely failing on the roof but holding up well everywhere else. Could be an install problem but will probably have it wrapped again regardless because it looks so much better than stock.
I used some of the hardware that came with the top, you can see it highlighted at location (1) in the attached image. You can wrap the strap on the top around this and tighten it down pretty well. At the back, location (2) I have rails from my roof rack that I left on and can latch it to. You...
I used this same Adams coating on my bronco when I got it a few years ago, has been great on the painted surfaces but had the same results on the plastic bits (hardtop, wheel arches). I had the same freaked out reaction assuming I had just ruined my new car. I ended up using a more standard...
Which tonneau cover did you get, ideally I would use one also. The front two seats stay perfectly dry, especially when driving. If you are parked and have a crazy wind driven rain you can get a little water on the seats and center console but all the important parts stay protected.
This won't work for everyone but is my solution using the Havoc top. I keep the two front hard top panels on and roll up back half of the havoc top so that I can easily roll it out to cover the back if it starts raining. Don't recommend it if you have passengers back there but keeps it protected...
This won't be for everyone but I keep the two front hard top panels on and a rolled up havoc canvas top that I can quickly unroll if it starts raining to help protect the back seats. Wouldn't recommend this if you regularly have passengers in the back seat, still gets wet but not drenched. Front...
I found this to be a cheap effective solution. I also don’t have a ton of head room so had to skip the pullies: https://tieboss.com/collections/all-products/products/tie-boss-hanger-sling
If you order it make sure you ask for the strap extension.
Wondering what the worst case scenario is if the rear cargo area gets soaked? Doesn’t seem much to worry about if you have the back seats folded up beyond the speakers and sub. Seems that 2 doors might get a little more water inside just based on the Bronco design.
Just installed mine, really like this location.
Ran into one issue which is most likely a result of my lack of wiring experience. Hopefully someone can help me out.
I had my oem license plate light already pulled through the tailgate and behind the spare tire so I ran that directly to the DV8...
In the same boat here, rear passenger went out on me with less than 20,000 miles on it. Dealer says they are back ordered on top of it. Only up side is the bronco seems to still be stable and drivable but certainly not ideal.
I live on the east end of Long Island and drive on the beach regularly with my badlands non-squatch and do not air down at all, haven’t had an issue yet.
Has anyone installed this Havoc bumper? Looks like a nice design but can’t find any photos of it installed:

Add me to the list, came out from work with a small puddle directly under passenger side rear shock. Less than 20k miles. Pretty disappointing quality from Bilstein, a company I generally hold in high regard.
Scary to hear other people are having long term issues like this. My Bronco has been at the dealer for almost three weeks and no one seems to know what the problem is, even scarier.
