Removed the Hard Top for the first time today

[1Markman]

I had a couple of friends over today and the weather was nice so I decided to take the hard top off for the first time. Now I have a question. What should I put over the section on each side of the rear of the bronco where the hard top used to sit. I am not a fan of the row of mounting holes that are now exposed. Look pretty crappy on my otherwise clean EB.

Any thoughts? If this has been covered, please point me in the right direction. I tried a search but could not come up with much.

If someone makes a diamond place cover, that would probably look nice...

I thought the mounting holes looked unfinished as well.

My problem was solved when I realized I wasn't going to put the hard top back on. The soft top rails went in to the same holes and it looks great.

Do you use the soft top year round in Utah? I went to school in Provo and it was plenty cold in the winter. I guess if it works for you there, I should not have any problem in California with a soft top only.... Guess I need to find a good soft top... Any other suggestions out there?

Found these that look like they are exactly what I need. Has anyone used these and how do they mount?

I believe it use two screws. You could probably change the mounting holes to go into the first and last bolt holes and just use some small bolts

If it's the holes only you are concerned about Ace Hardware or your local
has some rubber gromets that would go in the holes.
could even put a plastic chrome button in the center ;D
