Curious how Wrangler does this? Does look like a hard interference?
Yea I watched video and wondered how often you Jeep owners feel the need to just access back through window only? Or have you found this set up fine?

Looks like a catch for the swing gate, wasn't there a weird looking bracket on the swing gate in another picture? Maybe some kind of latch.

my old POS 2004 Jeep Liberty had the same thing. i never had the desire to only open the glass HOWEVER I can’t tell you HOW many times I would close the door with out the glass. Then have to open the door again to shut the window With the door.

it’s a process for sure, but you get use to it.

That seam you see at the back is not an indication of a removable piece. That seam exists because the top, rear and sides are all separate pieces that are joined together in the manufacturing process. They are bonded together permanently.

Sorry, but it's true. The rear section of the top can be removed, but it comes off as a complete assembly. Additionally, there are removable pieces over the driver, passenger and rear seat.
What kind of weight are we talking?

Wait! Rear seat? ?

I don't have the actual weight, but it's something that I have been able to do with 2 people with not much difficulty.
So, a weak spouse could help you remove it without the constant fear they will drop it? Asking for a friend. ?

What?! That means the roof panels can't be stored in the vehicle.

Also, you said rear seat. Is that for the 2-door as well?

Im torn:
-Love the idea of power back glass for airflow (rarely use A/C) and always secretly jelly at the Tundras/4-runners for that reason
-Flashbacks of me crawling into the back of my ‘87 FSB, shoulder deep in sharp sheetmetal trying to uncouple the burnt out motor so I can get the glass unstuck and never getting it working correctly ever again *shudder*

on second thought a fold up/removable window works just fine ??
Almost bought a Breezer window for my F-150 until my wife said to stop spending money on that truck and start saving for the Bronco ?

We‘re talking about the back piece. Not the smaller front panels.

Wow that tire is magnificent.

But ugh this back section is my least favorite part of the new Bronco. I agree with @Chaos_273 it feels like they gave up design wise on the back top. Just even a few degrees more of an angle to the back would have done wonders. All Broncos had more of a fast back look then this and I’m sorry to say yes this aspect it does look like a Jeep.

Seeing the whole package I’m sure it will look better but this will always annoy me. Everything else looks wise seems perfect though.

Did you just admit you owned a Jeep Liberty?

It’s cool... I owned a Chevy Aveo once but I don’t go around telling everyone that...?
