I have one and love it. The fit and finish for me is great. I have never had another bronco top to compare it to, but I have had scout and blazer tops by STC and Bestop and the BC top is the best fit I've owned. My only complaint is that it comes with a sheet metal screw snap head instead of a stud mount snap head for the door header. I went to the hardware store and picked up 8 stud style snap heads for less than $10.

It's not any quieter than any other soft top. I have heard that they have a head liner kit that is suppose to knock out some noise. Mine is on 35" MTRs so its loud regardless.

Here's a few shots of the install on mine. I really like it.

How hard are they to put up in a rush, like an oncoming thunder storm while your out driving?

It's not like a bestop or STC j**p style -- It's not really built to take completely off in a hurry. You just take the sides/rear off and leave the frame/top in place (Safari top). The sides/rear are a snap (literally) and go on/off in minutes. Very, very easy. So you go from fully enclosed to safari (or visa versa) in a hurry. I really surprised my buddy who was wheelin' with me in AZ. We were Safari config (sides/rear off) when a thunder boomer came up on us quickly. He thought my EB was about to get soaked. In about 1.5 minutes, I had it all enclosed and dry! He couldn't believe how fast it was. I really do like the top because it's so darn sturdy. And I can still use my A/C even without a hard top.

I too leave the top on and just remove the sides and rear window. It only takes a few minutes to snap the windows back on.

I choose to leave the top on because of the florida rains that roll in and out in minutes plus the sun will cook ya.

We've worked with BC to offer speaker enclosure mounting specifically to their soft top.
I'm sure Jason will be able to share more details.

Here is a pic of mine, pretty quality craftsmanship. When the wife says something nice about my Bronco then you know it must be good. I dont see a time when I would take the top all the way off, with the windows out it is perfect.
