21-27 Ford Bronco Bestop 52462-17 4-Door Skyrider For Hardtop (Premium Black Twill)

Bestop 52462-17 Skyrider for Hardtop – Premium Black Twill

The Bestop Skyrider for Hardtop transforms the factory hardtop on the 2021-2027 Ford Bronco 4-Door into a true open-air adventure vehicle with the convenience of a retractable soft top. Designed specifically for Bronco owners who want fast access to fresh air without removing heavy factory panels, the Skyrider replaces the factory three-panel modular section and delivers an expansive dual-row opening for both front and rear passengers. The premium Black Twill material provides a refined appearance with superior durability, quieter road manners, and year-round weather protection.

Built with Bestop’s OEM-trusted engineering, the Skyrider opens smoothly in seconds using gas-assist cam profile bows, allowing one-person operation from outside the vehicle. Unlike traditional hardtop removal, this innovative retractable system eliminates the hassle of storing factory panels while maintaining the rugged functionality Bronco owners demand. With no drilling or permanent modifications required, this premium upgrade adds instant convenience, improved driving enjoyment, and an aggressive off-road-ready appearance.
