There is an opinion article today in Ford Authority talking about a one piece roof option should be developed for the bronco. This stems from the fact a lot of people will never remove their roof and or there are issues with creaking and popping etc. I wonder if we will be spared all of this creaking and popping with the stiffer frame and the new crossmembers.

mine doesn't creak or pop but the wind noise at 70+ mph borders on absurd. I would be interested in a one-piece top.

I've had the same thoughts that the claimed 50% stiffening helps with the roof creaking that some have reported.

My Wrangler hardtop has the Mopar hardtop kit below. Dealer installed to correct leaks, noise, etc.

I really like the looks of that ADV one piece hardtop.

Ford really should come out with a fix of their own to improve things. I like the idea of a modular roof but would be happy if just the front two seats had a single removabal panel. I have no need to have a separate panel over the passenger compartment either.
