I’m one of the weird ones:
would’ve been happier with a solid hard top, but I do like the frameless windows.
2 doors a must.
I may edit this in a few months if I take my front MIC panels off for a short drive.

My hardtop mostly hangs from my ceiling from spring to fall every year. It’s about a 10 min process to put it on if I need to.

I usually take the back off and leave the front panels on... no sun bake and half cabbing it! Doors off a few times. They have explorers and expeditions for you non removable guys. Get more of these though!!! more in the used market
. You solid guys MIGHT like the armadillo.

I am glad that the bronco still has a removable top, if you didn’t want a removable top why not get a explorer tremor, 4Runner or something. One of the whole points of the bronco is taking the top off.

I'm down with that. It's basically what my old Series Land Rover has, an aluminum removable top. Has held up well.

I will not purchase a model with the current hardtop construction/design.
It seems that the Bronco needs to keep the removable top available for customers that want that feature (it's just not me), but I believe that Ford is missing a number of customers that have no interest in the removable top and its perceived drawbacks.
I am a sad case since I have been laboring under a delusion that Ford would see the light and create a one piece bolt-on top that is infinitely durable and provides no leaks, less noise, easy/no maintenance etc. Have been checking this forum daily since before the roll-out expecting news about a Ford OEM not-easily-removable top or even a model with an integrated part-of-the-body (normal) top. Along the way have collected hundreds of computer files with specification details, config info, and many Bronco photos.
Hundreds of hours preparing for a product that has never arrived. I am mad at myself for my foolishness.
Meanwhile, other factors and life situation changes indicate that I will likely never purchase a Bronco - we missed my window of opportunity.
Sorry for what may come across as negativity - just wanted to express that making choices/options available to customers could be a good thing.

Na. Wouldn't be opposed if Ford offered one having had a Bronco II and an explorer in my past, but would not buy one out and out with a fixed top.

I live in the country and spend countless hours outside. I don’t need to remove the roof on a vehicle to feel like I’m connected to nature.
An Explorer or Expedition may have better on road towing capabilities, but to get to where the Bronco can go off road, you’d need to tow a side by side. And curiously, the biggest growth in side by sides are those with enclosed cabs that have heat and air.
Give me a solid top with a moonroof and I’m good.

I would have preferred a fixed (normal) roof with the removable hard top or moon roof as an option.

My only complaint/concern with my 2dr BD with the removable panels is the need to have frame-less windows...what a nuisance...

What if they had a no roof option with a true all-weather interior?
Nop, no interest. Out of 14 autos I've owned in my life, 9 have been convertible in some way. All four I currently own are convertible/removable top.
