I just got a 1996 xlt and am looking for a soft top for it. I have checked everywhere and can find them for the earlier models but not for the 96. Any suggestions?

I just ordered mine today online. It runs about $640 with tax and shipping.
They only go up to 1991....but they are supposed to fit the later models too. Some dribble about seat belts and a 3rd brake light ....just put in lapbelts on the rear seat and you can buy a 3rd brake light from wallmart that snaps in your trailer hitch for like $10.00.

Well, the soft top is on. It took about 2.5 hours and it looks pretty good on the Bronco at a distance.
I've got to say....I'm not that impressed with it. For almost $650.00, its really cheaply made. Its made in China.
Its single stiched and alot of the snaps don't line up with the snaps on the frame. The frame bows are thin walled pipe and the lengths are off by about 1-2 inches. The kit was missing a package of sheetmetal screws.
As for the new and improved tailgate frame, you are supposed to take it on and off each time you exit/enter according to the instructions. I would mount the frame to the tailgate with sheetmetal screws.....but the fabric rear window is about 4" to long. There's not enough adjustment in the frame bows to adjust it.
All in all, I'm disappointed with it. Someone else might like the top.....but if I had to do it over again I would just keep taking my hard top on and off.
