Hard Top to Soft Top Question

[MrSquilliam]

I have a 2026 Big Bend that came new with a hard top installed and want to put a soft top on it. I found a good quality one on facebook marketplace but want to confirm with someone who knows more than me that I will have all the needed parts to do the install. I have some pictures the seller sent me he had a 2021 Bronco not sure which series. Any help would be very much appreciated.

2 door or 4 door?

If everything is pictured, it looks like you might be missing some necessary parts.
I did the same, and found the parts list in this post tremendously helpful:

This pic shows all the parts (minus the back and side windows.)
I can't remember who posted it, but it also was helpful. (belated thanks!)

Seller should have all those parts, but you may need to negotiate them as part of the sale.

Good luck. It's totally worth it!

EDIT: I've got a 4-door.

This Pix looks complete for the 2 door top. The plastic bits are needed!

For the bestop, the installation video shows multiple soft pieces that stick into place, seals, foam parts etc. Can these be purchased from the manufacturer? Also do these have to be replaced every you swap tops (can hard top be reinstalled without removing these pieces?

The 1st part of the install has some electrical tape like material that you put down on the ledge that the hard top sits on. I'd just buy some 2" electrical tape to replicate. It stays in place with either top. The other foam they provided was not very dense and I remember that I replaced with some denser foam 2x4x1/4 foam I bought off amazon. I cut to similar shape. Not sure if you can buy from best top, but I'd be surprised if they didn't sell it. Was removed each swap...
