Parts list for soft top

[DaveWKC]

I just recently bought a soft top off FB marketplace, and got all brackets and bolts except for the alignment tools? How critical are they? Should I buy the set that includes them or would I be ok with loose-fitting things and adjusting as I go?

That's what I did. I didn't have the alignment tool. I started with the bracket all the way down and forward, then set the soft top bracket on the alignment pins. I eyeballed to difference the plate would need to be moved so that the soft top brackets seat fully on the pins. After a couple of rounds of that I have been happy where it ended up.

Thank you! I have a few more days of rain, but will try my hand at this once the forecast calls for a few more days of sunshine!

can you guys confirm those parts that are needed to install the soft top? I called my local Ford dealer and they think it's the following: top latches (R $286, L $309), rear latches (R & L $75 each). I thought there is supposed to be a rear mount too.

I just bought and installed a soft top off FBM, My advice is mount all the brackets as far forward as possible. I left all the bolts loose and latched it in front, then tightened the rear brackets, unlatched the front and then tightened down the mid brackets....worked like a charm.

you wouldn't happen to have a list or pics of the hardware you used to install the soft top?

While this isn't directly answering your question, it might help identify the parts needed for those that purchase the top off marketplace as these are the parts that are typically left on the Bronco and not in pallet.

I could of sworn I had seen a parts list in its entirety somewhere on the forums though. Just haven't had luck tracking it down yet.

I have a small open gap between the bronco and the soft top on both sides where the soft top sits on the bronco. Is there a weather stripping we should be installing?
