That looks like the optional BesTop version to me…

I hope not.

Definitely not the OEM top

Okay so what do I need to make this work?

 

[ryanc721]

The listing was “OEM Bronco top- less than a year old”

As others have said that’s a Bestop model not the Webasto OEM soft top

 

[ryanc721]

Great so what does that actually mean

As others have mentioned its not OEM its Bestop, go to the best top site and look at their installation instructions it will show you how to get it on and if you are missing any pieces . Or go back to the person you bought it from and get your money back if you can.

I actually went on eBay and cancelled the sale and put reason “not OEM.” I appreciate all of you. In the process of getting an OEM one now.

They're occasionally listed on this site

If I am not mistaking, ford now sells the Bestop trek top as OEM. They don't sell the original OEM anymore. If you notice they are all the slant backs. I was about to do as you and purchase a used for 400 bucks. I called Bestop and they are very good and told me the pieces that I would need as they usually stay on the truck when swapped (i.e seals and foam pieces). They sell them all.

3 Installs pacs - Excuse any error in the info below, can't read my own chicken scratch

Part #596.65P - Belt Seal $31.99
Part #611.51P - Film Seal $65.99
Part # 603.25P - Foam seal kit $28.99

I ended getting lucky and finding a new still in box for 1000 by posting a WTB thread. The original owner had purchased it directly from ford a couple years ago and never installed. It is the Bestop Trektop.

Good luck - I honestly don't see the Bestop as a step down from the Original OEM they sold originally. I assume Ford techs know how to service the Bestop since they sell it

Here is a photo of a complete soft top setup, this is what I used when I bought my soft top to swap over for the summer. Big thing I missed is the side plastic pieces, I didn’t look closely at them and thought the ones on my Bronco were the same, they were not.

Best bet may be to go through the manual.
