With spring, hopefully right around the corner, I'm looking forward to getting out with the hard top off of my new 2024 2-dr Bronco Badlands. What do you all use to protect from the inevitable pop-up shower or occasional outside parking on a dewy night? TIA

When I have my top off I just push the seats up like someone is getting in the back, works on sunny days to keep the seats cooler, and a towel in a dry bag.

At night, I put on a cabin cover, super easy to take off and put on. They are like $50 +/- on amazon. I do have a shade mounted which keeps water from pooling.

There is a company out of one of the Carolina’s that makes a weather proof cover for when the top is off our Broncos (2 doors we are).I have one and it is nice. Mine gets parked in the car hole but I take the cover with me all summer long just in case. Wish I could remember the companies name. I found them from this site.

If you park with the top off and don’t use a cover pull the visors down. If it rains and the visors are up they will fill with water. We got caught in rainstorm on a 10% chance day.

I use broncobikini.com. I have had a lot of jeeps in my life and always appreciated having a simple top that fits underneath a seat and can be deployed easily without requiring brackets. Just nice not having anything that adds complexity to when you want to put the front MICs or clam shell back on, or hard to hide/keep with Bronco when it is parked and top is off, or takes up space. That being said, bronco bikini could be better. I have had some in the past with Jeeps that worked 100% and would strap into the windshield and roll bars to give better coverage.

If it is really cloudy I will throw the front MICs on only, and if it is raining I use top lift pro to put my clamshell on and can do all of it in about 5 minutes total.

I use the Ford cockpit cover... got a new one on offerup for $100. Pretty easy to put on, just has to go behind ditch lights.

When my roof and doors are off for the spring/summer, I keep my @Broncover in the back.

I use the Bestop skyrider on my 4 dr. That way I get a locking clamshell in the back with wash/wipe/defrost, and instant on / off roof for the passenger compartment. I switch back to the full hard top in the winter.
