@Tolzer I pulled panel that was coming off, stripped old adhesive, then reached out to Fabian re: best options before gluing back as orig glue rec people were still having issues. He shared new Manus sealant option saying "this has been working best":

@jofer SO kind of u to take these photos, really helps to troubleshoot ๐ Seems my wires are tucked away on top more than yours, but the BIG difference is the passenger side wires ๐ I'm going to focus there and see how it goes. ๐
MUCH gratitude!

PS I'm embarrassed my car is so clean...
Great write up @jofer thank you!
Do you have a pic from the front that shows how you routed and tucked the wiring? Debating whether I should just tuck wiring or things need to be re-routed and then tucked ๐
Much gratitude for the share! ๐
From what I can tell on Armadillo.designs website just now, they DO offer headliner, but no longer see CUSTOM headliner, ie so just black.

Feel like it worked for everyone but me ๐ I keep getting these warning messages and installed like everyone else! ๐ I've cleaned the sensor so no obstruction many times, can't figure it out.
Thank you EVERYONE for sharing. ๐ My front panel came off this winter, strange as Nor Cal not particularly hot compared to rest of country, did some desert travel last year, but nothing crazy hot.
@Slei looks like @Chritaka used 3M adhesive remover and tho a PITA, said it worked to remove old...
Could def use the space, didn't know mod was possible to make work! I also have DV8 rear window molle panels on inside of roll bars, maybe I have to mod more or it's impossible? Curious to see closer pics of how u modded / mounted ๐
Thanks for sharing, VERY cool!๐
@rayofsi I thought the same too!
To close while standing on latch side, simply make sure tailgate is open enough, hold window down flush with left hand (keep pressure), close tailgate with your right hand/arm standing far enough away that tailgate goes under your arm. Boom!
Give that a try ;)
@rayofsi the rubber seal back window is an easy fix, simply hold down hatch back as you close swing gate until swing gate is fully closed, then release. I stand a specific way every time I close back, but the solution works!
NICE looking rig, the top looks sick on your Bronco!!!

What about the single ARB? Looks like there is space right next to it for compressor though may be too tall for hood clearance?

Followed the instructions for install, all is good except my Adaptive Cruise Control doesn't work nor does pre-collision assist. (see attached warnings) These are both important features for travel and safety, I need them to work. Any thoughts what may be wrong? (see attached pics of install)...

Thanks @Ninjak ! Elite is pretty sweet looking, and love that you can leave the camera in place, plus a bit safer for theft. I've been reading that the elite bumper weight is a thing, definitely need the v6 or raptor, I have v6 so would be OK. Really appreciate the feedback!
Hi @Ninjak Doesn't the elite setup also allow the parking sensors and advance cruise control to work with no changes? Looking at installing the ford performance winch then doing all the modifications in this post vs warn elite. Any disadvantages to warn elite vs ford performance other than the...
If anyone is going to California Overland Adventure and Power Sports Show this weekend in Sonoma County, CA Sept 13-14, I'll be there Sunday the 14th with my BadSqautch Armadillo Designs GOBI Racks rig in case you are interested in seeing the gear in person, or simply wanna connect and nerd out...
@Chritaka thank you. Gobi racks are independent of top, they mount to vehicle for more stability. Height adds to base vehicle for a total of about 6โ 8 1/2โ on my BadSqautch, really due to the light bar.
Finally took some better pictures (see attached), spent all weekend getting it dirty, LOVE...
