I went to a local mom and pop auto shop...Napa Auto parts has them as well, they are Torx bits (T40 or T50 I think), with a tamper proof indent in the top....make sure to get a couple because there are two sizes you will need to get the top off completely.

I just bought my Bronco and just took the top off for the first time a week ago, if you need any help or tips, email me directly ([email protected]) and I will do what I can to help you..

Only thing to add is dont lose em.. dey aint cheap.. store mine in glad container as top is off for the summer.

so would a regular torx bit of the right size work, or do you have to have the tamper proof ones?

yo,

You can use a reg torx if you break-off the little "****" with a small punch, etc.

One thing, I thought only 92-96 had the security torx?
