The Bronco was born for open air, and a Ford Bronco soft top is how you feel it. Fresh air turns an ordinary commute into a golden-hour drive, a grocery run into a reason to take the long way home, and every trailhead into an invitation. Bestop builds that feeling into open-air gear engineered for the way you actually live with your Bronco.

This buyer’s guide walks you through the full Bestop lineup for the 2021 and newer Ford Bronco, from full soft top replacements to a powered one-touch top. Match the right top to your driving, your climate, and the look you want, then head to the product pages to lock in your fit.

What Is a Ford Bronco Soft Top? (And Does the Bronco Come With One?)

A Ford Bronco soft top is a fabric roof system that opens your cabin to fresh air and folds back, flips, or comes off when you want sky overhead. Ford offers a factory soft top mainly on the four-door Bronco, and Ford’s accessory soft top for the Bronco is built by Bestop. So open air can be part of your Bronco from day one.

From there, Bestop opens up more ways to enjoy it. Ford’s powered accessory top mirrors the Bestop eTop, and Bestop is an authorized aftermarket partner to Ford for the Bronco, building Bronco products to Ford OEM standards. That same engineering, testing, and fit come from the industry’s only OEM-certified soft top factory in North America, the same factory that has served as Jeep’s sole OE soft top supplier since 1986.

The Bestop Ford Bronco Soft Top Lineup at a Glance

Bestop makes four open-air options for the 2021 and newer Bronco: the Trektop Slantback, a full soft top replacement; the Sunrider for Hardtop, which flips your overhead hardtop panels back to fabric; the Skyrider for Hardtop, a retractable dual-row top for the four-door; and the eTop, the world’s only powered aftermarket soft top.

Think of them as four ways to live open. Some replace your top entirely, some work with the hardtop you already have, and one opens at the push of a button. The right choice comes down to how much open air you want and how you want to get to it.

Trektop Slantback: The Full Soft Top Replacement

To replace a worn factory Bronco soft top, the Trektop Slantback for the Bronco drops in as a full replacement with a no-drill installation. It uses your Bronco’s own sport bars to shape its clean fastback silhouette, adds factory-style door surrounds, and fits both 2-door and 4-door Broncos, giving you a fresh premium top in a weekend.

The Slantback is Bestop’s best-selling Bronco design, and its fastback profile gives the Bronco a purposeful, ready-for-anything stance. Remove the side and rear windows and it converts to a full Safari Bikini look for wide-open summer driving.

• Tailgate bar: Reach your tailgate and cargo while the rear window stays zipped.
• 30-mil tinted windows: 18% tint helps keep the cabin cooler on bright days.
• Premium multi-layer fabric: Available in Black Diamond marine-grade vinyl or Premium Black Twill.
• Frameless shape: Built on the Bronco’s sport bars for clean sightlines.

Pricing starts around $1,500 and ranges to roughly $2,100 depending on configuration and fabric. The Slantback fits 2-door and 4-door Broncos and excludes the Raptor.

Sunrider for Hardtop: Everyday Open Air Without Removing Panels

Yes, a Bronco soft top can open from inside. The Sunrider for Hardtop for the Bronco replaces your Bronco’s overhead hardtop panels with a fabric panel that flips back from the driver’s seat and closes just as fast. It is a retractable panel you can open at a stoplight and close before the first raindrop, while the rest of your hardtop stays right where it is.

That is what makes the Sunrider such an easy addition to daily life. Fresh air becomes a spur-of-the-moment decision on the school run, the coffee run, or the drive home under a warm sky.

• Flip-back design: Opens in seconds from the driver’s seat and closes just as fast.
• No-drill installation: Arrives pre-installed as fabric on a frame with door rails and instructions.
• Made in North America: Built to Bestop’s OEM-certified standards.
• Keeps your panels: Works with your existing hardtop, so there is nothing extra to stow.

For a closer look at how it flips back and installs, watch Bestop’s walkthrough of the Sunrider for Hardtop for the Bronco:

The Sunrider fits the 2021 and newer Bronco and is Raptor-compatible. Pricing is about $899.99 for the 2-door and about $1,099.99 for the 4-door.

Skyrider for Hardtop: Dual-Row Open Air for the 4-Door

The Skyrider for Hardtop is built for four-door Bronco owners who want everyone in on the open air. It replaces the factory three-panel modular section of the four-door hardtop with a retractable top that opens in one smooth motion from outside the vehicle.

Gas-assist, cam-profile bows make it a one-person operation, and the large dual-row opening means front and rear passengers all share the sky. It stays weather-sealed and all-season ready, and it installs without permanent modifications to your Bronco.

Picture the whole crew heading to the lake, the top swept back, and open air over every seat. The Skyrider is 4-door only, excludes the Raptor, and runs roughly $1,600 to $1,900 depending on configuration.

eTop: The World’s Only Powered Aftermarket Soft Top

Some mornings you just want the sky, and the powered eTop gives it to you at the push of a button. Launched in 2024, it is the world’s only aftermarket powered soft top, opening and closing on one touch so open air fits into your commute, your errands, and every golden-hour detour home.

The experience is what sets it apart. Nine layers of premium fabric and a super-suede headliner refine the cabin and cut noise by up to 5 dB, so the eTop feels as good closed as it does open.

• One-touch operation: Open or close as you pull out of the driveway.
• Super-suede headliner: A quieter, more refined cabin, up to 5 dB softer.
• Works with or without doors: Open-air freedom on your terms.
• Certified professional installation: Fitted for OEM-level integration.

The eTop is Raptor-compatible and available for both the 2-door and the 4-door Bronco eTop. Pricing starts at $5,295 for the Black eTop, while color tops are available for $5,595. This is the modern way to own open-air freedom, ready whenever you are.

Ford Bronco Soft Top vs Hard Top: Which Is Right for You?

Choosing between a Ford Bronco soft top and a hard top comes down to the experience you want most days. A soft top keeps open air a moment away and gives your Bronco a classic, adventurous character. A hard top leans toward a fixed profile and added cabin insulation. Plenty of owners keep both and switch with the season.

If your favorite drives are windows-down, top-back, spur-of-the-moment kinds of days, a soft top belongs on your Bronco. It rewards spontaneity, from a warm evening cruise to a weekend at the trailhead. Many Bronco owners run a hardtop through winter and a Bestop top when the weather turns, getting the best of both across the year. And if you mainly want shade and airflow on hot days, a Bronco bimini sunshade pairs with your top for filtered sun without the burn.

Fitment: 2-Door, 4-Door, and Bronco Raptor

Which Bestop Bronco top fits the Raptor? The Sunrider for Hardtop and the powered eTop are Raptor-compatible, while the Trektop Slantback and Skyrider are built for 2-door and 4-door Broncos other than the Raptor. Always confirm your exact configuration before you buy.

Body style matters too. The Trektop, Sunrider, and eTop fit both 2-door and 4-door Broncos, while the Skyrider is designed for the 4-door only. Bestop tops are engineered for specific platforms and body types, so fitment varies by top.

To sort your options at a high level, the Soft Top Wizard offers a quick orientation. To confirm your exact fit, the Year/Make/Model (YMM) fitment tool is the authoritative way to verify, and Bestop customer service can help if you have any questions about your build.

How to Choose the Right Bronco Soft Top

1. Start with the open-air feeling you want. Decide whether you want fresh air at the push of a button (eTop), a quick flip-back panel (Sunrider), a dual-row opening (Skyrider), or a full open-air conversion (Trektop Slantback).
2. Confirm your body style and trim. Note whether you have a 2-door or 4-door, and whether you have a Raptor, since that shapes which tops fit.
3. Match the top to your climate and daily driving. Consider how often you commute, how much weather you see, and whether all-season sealing is a priority for you.
4. Choose your fabric and look. Compare Black Diamond marine-grade vinyl, Sailcloth, and Premium Twill on Bestop’s soft top material comparison page to find the texture, finish, and feel you want.
5. Verify fit and explore the product pages. Use the YMM fitment tool to confirm compatibility, then dive into each top’s page for full details before you decide.

Caring for Your Bronco Soft Top

Caring for your Bronco soft top keeps that open-air feeling looking and working its best across every season. For most Bestop tops, a gentle hand wash with mild soap and water does the job, followed by Bestop cleaner and protectant to keep the fabric fresh and the windows clear.

The powered eTop asks for a little extra attention to protect its seals. Wash it by hand, and keep it away from automatic and touchless car washes and pressure washing. Bestop’s four-season fabrics are built to live with, so regular gentle care goes a long way. For any questions about coverage, refer to Bestop’s official warranty resources, where the current details are kept up to date.

Find Your Open-Air Setup

Your Bronco was built for open air, and there is a Bestop top ready to unlock it your way. Whether you are after a full Trektop Slantback replacement, a flip-back Sunrider, a dual-row Skyrider, or the one-touch eTop, the right fit is waiting. Explore the full Bestop Bronco lineup, compare fabrics on the soft top material comparison page, and picture your next golden-hour drive with the sky wide open.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ford Bronco Soft Tops

Quick, direct answers to the questions Bronco owners ask most when choosing an open-air setup.

What Soft Tops Are Available for the Ford Bronco?

Bestop builds four open-air options for the 2021-current Ford Bronco: the Trektop Slantback full soft top, the Sunrider for Hardtop flip-back panel, the Skyrider for Hardtop retractable panel, and the powered eTop. Each is engineered for a specific way of enjoying open-air driving, from full top swaps to one-touch convenience.

Does the Ford Bronco Come With a Soft Top From the Factory?

Yes. Ford offers a factory soft top, mainly on four-door Broncos, and the accessory soft top Ford sells is built by Bestop. As Jeep’s longtime OE soft top supplier and Ford’s authorized aftermarket partner, Bestop engineers its Bronco tops to Ford OEM standards, so fit, sealing, and materials match factory expectations.

How Much Does a Ford Bronco Soft Top Cost?

It depends on the style. Bestop’s Sunrider for Hardtop starts around $899.99, the Trektop Slantback full soft top runs roughly $1,500 to $2,100 by configuration and fabric, and the Skyrider for Hardtop falls in between. The powered eTop starts near $4,995. Confirm current pricing on each product page.

Can You Put a Soft Top on a Hardtop Bronco?

Yes. Hardtop owners have two easy paths. The Sunrider for Hardtop replaces your overhead panels with a flip-back fabric section, and the Skyrider for Hardtop replaces the four-door’s three-panel modular roof with a retractable top. Both install without drilling or permanent modifications, so you keep the hardtop for later.

Is the Ford Bronco Soft Top Better Than a Hard Top?

Neither is simply better; it comes down to how you drive. A soft top gives you the quickest, most frequent open-air access and a lighter, more flexible setup. A hard top favors maximum insulation and quiet. Many owners run both, swapping to a Bestop soft top for open-air seasons.

Which Bronco Soft Top Fits the Bronco Raptor?

Fitment varies by product, so always confirm with Bestop’s Year/Make/Model tool. The Sunrider for Hardtop and the powered eTop are engineered to fit the Bronco Raptor. The Trektop Slantback and Skyrider for Hardtop fit 2021-current Broncos but exclude the Raptor. Check your exact model before ordering.

Can a Bronco Soft Top Open From Inside the Vehicle?

Some can. The Sunrider for Hardtop flips back in seconds for instant overhead open-air access without leaving your seat. The eTop opens and closes at the push of a button. The Trektop Slantback folds back into a fastback profile, and its windows zip out for a full Safari Bikini look.

How Do You Replace a Worn Factory Bronco Soft Top?

The Trektop Slantback is a full soft top replacement for 2021-current Broncos, so it swaps in for a tired or damaged factory soft top. It installs with no drilling, uses the Bronco’s own sport bars for shape, and adds 30-mil tinted windows with Bestop’s premium multi-layer fabric.
