  1. MIC Hard Top Wind Noise Reduction - 2023 Edition - Plus Bonus Fix for Bad Adhesive

    In the picture, it looks like the panel over the window is higher and further away from the right panel than it should be. If that’s the case, you may be able to adjust it but I don’t remember how adjustable that mount is. I think it’s similar to the procedure for the front to adjust it for...
  2. MIC Hard Top Wind Noise Reduction - 2023 Edition - Plus Bonus Fix for Bad Adhesive

    Glad it was successful and helped! You bring up a good point that not everyone will need every modification. In the least, this guide, and the comments in it, serve as a reference for many situations
  3. MIC Hard Top Wind Noise Reduction - 2023 Edition - Plus Bonus Fix for Bad Adhesive

    Depends where the wind noise is coming from. If you get a passenger to sit back there and hear the wind from the gutter section, then it could help. If you hear it from the intersection to either the front or trunk sections, then there is other adjustment needed (or extra stripping in this post)
  4. MIC Hard Top Wind Noise Reduction - 2023 Edition - Plus Bonus Fix for Bad Adhesive

    Hmmm, that won't be impacted by the front latch position. I haven't tried, but the other latches may be able to be adjusted
  5. MIC Hard Top Wind Noise Reduction - 2023 Edition - Plus Bonus Fix for Bad Adhesive

    Not sure where the gap is with your Bronco, but you may be able to get that resolved by moving the front brackets. That assembly has a lot of slop, but it's a super quick fix if that's the issue.
  6. These roof panels are garbage and Ford should be ashamed of themselves.

    The good news is the foam/strips do eventually smash into place more permanently, so it does get much easier over time
  7. MIC Hard Top Wind Noise Reduction - 2023 Edition - Plus Bonus Fix for Bad Adhesive

    Isopropyl is pretty safe - you shouldn't be cleaning anything metal or painted for this, just the composite panels
  8. MIC Hard Top Wind Noise Reduction - 2023 Edition - Plus Bonus Fix for Bad Adhesive

    Inward (towards transmission) and outward (towards tires) For the pool noodle, see the section labeled "The gutter"
  9. MIC Hard Top Wind Noise Reduction - 2023 Edition - Plus Bonus Fix for Bad Adhesive

    Yeah, that's the easy stuff. You can shove the pool noodle insulation down the sides as well. Be sure to make sure the front panels are adjusted inward, mine were full outboard and created a gap back my rearview mirror
  10. MIC Hard Top Wind Noise Reduction - 2023 Edition - Plus Bonus Fix for Bad Adhesive

    I managed to die the rear off by myself - it's you just have to prepared to walk off with it and rest it somewhere like a blanket to do the work. Not the easiest maneuver, but possible. I would only do all of the top panels or none. You'll likely create angles if you jack up one side and not...
  11. MIC Hard Top Wind Noise Reduction - 2023 Edition - Plus Bonus Fix for Bad Adhesive

    That's my understanding. If you trace the path that the filter is in (you can see in the interior shots of the rear hatch off) it would make sense as a drain for any water that gets by the seals. I would recommend keeping it open - Water damage is worse than wind noise ;)
  12. Finish The Job FORD

    I would think paint under a bolt/nut would cause it to loosen over time as the paint layer deteriorates and the stud stretch reduces. Probably why it didn't come painted
  13. Plastic pin stuck in front roof seal?

    I have the pin and opening. I assumed something is stuffed inside and the pin holds it in place. I haven't figured out the opening, but we have the same feature
  14. Burning smell in 4A of Slippery Mode?

    I did on mine but it went away after a while. I assumed it was oils/greases getting up to temp for the first time. If any other comments follow up with identified issues, I'd be curious what they are.
  15. MIC Hard Top Wind Noise Reduction - 2023 Edition - Plus Bonus Fix for Bad Adhesive

    @CXXX Nice work! It definitely takes a bit more effort to close the top when the weather stripping is fresh (I had to push/pull on the panel while securing the latch) but after a couple days, the stripping compresses into a more permanent shape and it becomes much easier. The only difference I...
  16. New Product Release: IAG Four Piece Interior Dome Light Kit with Harness

    Hearing "hundreds" sounds a bit like Tobias "We're building dozens!" as I'm sure demand is in the thousands! I'm sure you have a count of the "Notify me when in stock" records, I'd be curious how many thousands it really is. Glad they're so popular and this a successful product for your...
  17. New Product Release: IAG Four Piece Interior Dome Light Kit with Harness

    Started ordering at 9:00am (apparently I'm a fool for not trying before the actual drop time) and it was out of stock (4dr) by the time I typed my credit card... I guess they weren't joking with "limited quantity," I wonder how many were available?
  18. Borla exhaust sound for 2.7 -- reviews / feedback?

    I'm in the exact same scenario - exhaust, wife, and all, haha! Only I ended up keeping the stock on and the FP Exhaust is back in its box. I have the same thoughts as you on the system. I ended up adding lots of weather stripping around the top, kilmat all the body panels, and I'm kinda liking...
  19. Custom Aux Switch Labels / Stickers for 2021 Bronco

    @StickerFab Reviving this old thread only because I just got my Bronco and saw your note on the matte finish. I would be very interested in that mainly to help the labels blend in better with the plastic! Maybe worth creating a poll to see who would be interested in that finish on this site?
  20. MIC Hard Top Wind Noise Reduction - 2023 Edition - Plus Bonus Fix for Bad Adhesive

    Very much so. I honestly dreaded taking it on the highway because it was making me dislike the vehicle I waited nearly 2 years for. Now I look forward to every drive! It also didn't take very long and the cost is pretty minimal. But as others have said - it may only be worth it if you got an...
