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.

I love so much of the styling they did on the new bronco, but it seems like they got to this portion and gave up. From this angle, it’s almost indistinguishable from the Jeep, at least to me.

I’m in the wish-it-had-a-power-window-like-the-gen-5 camp.

How else are you supposed to design a box with a wheel on the back?

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

But if the back can't be stored, then there's no point in the rest of panels being stored. You aren't going to drive around with the passenger panels off, and then keep the rear piece on - it would become a sailboat

Ok, for everyone that wants the roll down window, how would you propose making that work with soft tops? Or the fastback hardtop (speaking of looking like a jeep) that some people want?

Uh, I don’t know... maybe the same way that Ford is doing every other frameless window on the car? And please, show me a single Jeep that came from factory with a removable fastback hardtop... I can show you plenty of Broncos with them

Looking at the rear end, it looks just like the rest of it to me. A modern take on the ‘66-‘77s (which all had pop up rear windows BTW).

Yeah, and they also had drop down tailgates... guess what this Bronco doesn’t have

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 ?

All Tundra Crewmax trucks have this feature standard.

I f'n LOVE it and roll it down all the time. I'll miss it dearly.

mad face agreed. deal breaker if this is the configuration

well I’m not an auto designer and I didn’t stay at a holiday inn express last night, but like I’ve said before, literally anything other than what looks to me like a direct copy of the jeep.

It’s not like there aren’t loads of distinct looking vehicles out there, and the rest of the new bronco is so well done (from what I’ve seen) that this section is a let-down for me.

once again, I still plan on buying one, and I may change my tune when the whole thing is revealed, but for me personally I don’t like the way the back glass and roofline look.

Maybe that’s the only (or best) way to design it, and if so, give credit to Jeep, cause it looks exactly like it.

So I guess every single vehicle with a sunroof is a sailboat?

Well, if the alternative was this (below), I'm glad they went the route they did.

On the tailgate window access front what if the spare tire tilts a few degrees down and allow the window to open. Like it has a hinge vertically at the bottom of the mount and a latch up higher above it. Then you could leave the gate closed so stuff doesnt spill out but still access it all.

Other than Wrangler skytop or whatever the hell it’s called, no other vehicle would have that large of opening at the top. And with Skytop, you remove rear windows

I’ll have to see it before I say dealbreaker for me, but that would certainly be disappointing. Might have to examine the soft top instead.

It just makes it a targa.

 

[KCBRUIN]

I guess I always just assumed that the hard top would be very similar to or exactly like a wrangler hard top. I never had a problem or issue with the wrangler hard top. It’s a pain to store, for sure, but I still think I like better than a soft top.

 

[Imissmy1996bronco]

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.

Well, that sucks, as someone who lives in an apartment with no garage, that means I’m now limited to never removing the top, or a soft top.
