Happy weekend everyone! My apologies if this has already been discussed on here but I couldn’t find it when looking for help so I figured I would throw it in here so I can be a productive member to the community. 🫡

Anyways since I bought my Bronco a couple weeks ago I could not get the soft top to latch when fully retracted/open. I would have to really force it in with more force than is supposed to be needed and I was worried about ruining the latching mechanism.
After digging around I couldn’t find anything but upon looking I noticed that the latch on the drivers side looked to be angled differently than the other. After loosening the bolts, adjusting the latch, and re-tightening, the top now closes appropriately. Super simple fix so I’m hoping this will save someone from going to the dealer unnecessarily… Picture of the piece I’m talking about below.

Wouldn’t have gotten it any other way!
I tried but Ford did a Job 2 change to MGV mid ‘23. Been bitter ever since!!

Thanks for the tip on the top. Will try that for sure.
