Hardtop flexing from heavy loads, solution!

[JcrOffroad]

While loading up our broncos for our Colorado trip this last August, we noticed some outward flexing on the factory hardtop. (See the attached video)

It was the worst on the side folding tent, the full hard shell tent only did it while being inside the tent.

So before we left, we whipped up some primitive hardtop support brackets. This fixed our issue and our trip went on without any issues.

When we returned, engineering went to work making a production version of our prototype. It’s a fully bolt in part and will work with any rack.

Very neat! That wouldn't be good for the hardtop to crack.

Wow. Nice work! This is some solid ingenuity.

I like it. That work in 2 door?
You knew this question was coming. But ive never had the top off yet, so i really don't know

The 2-door didn’t have the same issue with the top.
