Duck tape has a long established history of convertible top repairs. I see no reason hardtops would not benefit from its exceptional adhesive and aerodynamic properties. You could even get creative with the different colors and mimic an American Flag, LGBTXYz color pallet , camouflage etc.

totally agree....heres pics of my hacked up hardtop I used to build the half cab....Notice the inconsistent thicknesses of the bonding agent to the CARDBOARD.

They did the repair wrong, the wind will catch the seam... always start applying from the front to the back
I have seen worse ideas...

Well, 15 days out of my warranty and the hard top literally blew off, Ford is charging me over $2,000.00 to replace.

Started with a crack and then blew off, I had to rip it off...

Holy hell

Man I thought I waited a long time wow

Fortunately, ford was smart enough not to make the tops out of some sort of metal. Otherwise this would have been…oh wait never mind that would have prevented this and been smart.

my 1971 bronco steel hard top survived 22 years until 1993 when I succeeded at flipping the bronco over 3x doing 75mph. Wasn’t covered under the warranty though.

If you would have stopped at two it probably would have been.


And, glad you made it.

Thank you. I became religious after that one.
blew out every piece of glass and flattened the passenger side but the drivers side was fully intact.
not a scratch on me and the bronco was back on the road after about 6-months of work in my garage. I never should’ve sold that bronco(Sigh!!)..
anyway the hard tops were somewhat flimsy but did the job well. Much better than the new ones. I have a soft top on my 23 which I regretted it first but now I see the value. I guess if I lived in cold weather, I’d hate the soft top. We’ll see how long the windows really last without getting too scratched up.

Hard tops aren't going to just blow off. If a crack was that big it would have been flopping in the wind a long time.

Ahhh Ford's not the only one with this problem
