I’m not touching my order. With my luck something will go catastrophically wrong.
I made the change to soft top, but I'm really holding out for my squatch and 2.7.... 7/23 res so I'm not feeling too confident...
So close from switching to a Black Diamond over the Badlands because I know I don't need sway bar too much. I just know that it won't help my chances much seeing as I have the squatch and 2.7....Fingers crossed I can still get MY21. I know my dealership can give a strong yes/no if I changed either...
It’s great that Arizona and “down south in Dixie” don’t want a wiper or defrost. however winter is a real thing, believe it or not it happens every year. Crazy I know but it’s true, I saw it on the internet.

I did exactly the same. Wildtrack to badlands with a soft top.

Soft top = theft. Not at all desirable for overloading and staying in any dicey environments. Guns and ammo in the truck, as well as other valuables. YMMV if your Bronco is more of a dune buggy for weekend trips, etc.
What is... Snow?
I actually hardly ever use the rear view mirror anyway. That's what side mirrors are for. My wife's Expy has a rear wiper. I don't actually know where the switch is.

yes, that one is pointless to me. I contacted bestop before and at that time they had no plan to make one for both rows of seats, but I'm sure somebody will. Aftermarket has barely warmed up it's engines.

Ironically, one of the most constrained commodities is the Modular Front Bumper (55G), which is standard on both Badlands and Black Diamond. The Modular Front Bumper is more constrained than the MIC hard top (43L), 2.7L engine (99P), and Sasquatch (765), so downgrading from Badlands to Black Diamond doesn’t avoid that particular constraint. You would need to downgrade one more series to Big Bend.
I went to the dealer about a week ago and changed my dual tops mod top order to soft top only.
Is there anything else like another option available to check right now to signify soft top with hardtop prep kit? Is there a chance my order may get built without it before September? My sheet does still say priority 99. I’m more interested in having the rear wiper being an off-road vehicle.
I’m not completely worried as vertical windows on pickups for me never got too terrible frost and obviously snow buildup wise. If they did remote start in advance will typically do the trick
In fact I have never used the rear defrost on my F150 which was also tied into the heated mirrors. In the last few generations of F150 there is a somewhat common issue with rear defrost overheating and shattering one of the panels. It’s just under $1,000 repair to replace the whole rear window and most of the time no help from Ford or recall.

Every year...SO FAR
