Went out to wash the Bronco this morning and noticed the back glass sticks out at the bottom and does not sit flush like it does on the passenger side. Took delivery of the Bronco in early February and this is the first time I have noticed this.

I have not been able to compare to any other hard tops yet. Is this normal?

Thank you for sharing pics. Yep, mine is off by quite a bit then. Not sure exactly how to go about adjusting it.

It appears the little piece of molding on the inside of the rear window is preventing it from closing completely. How does that molding look on the other side from the inside?

From the inside, on the passenger side the bracket that is on the glass clears the weather stripping completely. On the driver side, the bracket is pressing into the stripping. This is keeping it from closing all the way. Still, it seems the glass is positioned incorrectly and further to the driver side. The glass has a fairly large gap between it and the MIC top on the passenger side. One the driver side the glass is rubbing the top. I am wondering if I can loosen the screw on the hinge and reposition the glass. May have to end up taking back to my dealer.

Yes, it can be repositioned but you could also take it back to your dealer to do if you are not comfortable doing it yourself.

Hey there! If you send over a DM with your VIN and Ford dealer info, I can look into your concerns on my end.

Mine is the same, it's closer on the driver's side and the weathersripping piece sticks out. I was going to adjust it at the hinge, I think it's a Torx 30 but I don't curretly have a bit that size. The toolkit comes with the IP30 which doesn't fit correctly so don't try to use that.
