Does the Ford Bronco have a retractable roof?
No—the Bronco does not have a power retractable roof. It offers open-air driving through removable roof panels and removable doors, plus fabric soft top or modular hard-top options; there is no full retractable roof in current models as of 2025.
The Bronco is designed for open-air experiences by allowing removal of roof panels and doors to enjoy an outdoorsy, convertible-like feel. While you can tailor the roof setup with soft-top or modular hard-top configurations, Ford has not equipped the Bronco with a single-action, fully retractable roof mechanism.
Roof configurations
The Bronco provides several roof approaches to suit different climates and preferences. Here is a snapshot of what is typically offered across model years.
- Soft top: A fabric roof that can be manually folded back or removed, offering a lightweight option for open-air driving.
- Modular hard top: A multi-piece hard-top system that can be removed in sections to open the cabin, but requires manual handling rather than a powered retracting action.
- Removable roof panels: Front and rear panels that can be detached (and stored) to replicate an open-air experience without a complete roof removal.
In practice, you can enjoy open air by removing the roof panels and, on many configurations, taking off the doors as well. The exact process and ease depend on whether you have a soft top or a hard top and your model year.
Doors and open-air capability
Details on how doors factor into the Bronco’s open-air experience and what you should know when planning for door removal.
- Removable doors: Bronco doors are designed to be removed by the owner with appropriate tools and guidance, and can be stored securely when removed.
- Open-air experience: With doors off and roof panels removed, the Bronco offers a very open cabin, similar to a convertible, but without a powered retractable roof mechanism.
Always follow official instructions for door removal and roof panel handling to avoid damage or injury. If you’re planning a trip or triporing off-road, consult your owner’s manual for the exact steps for your trim and year.
Summary
