i just got a 94 bronco. i would like to take the top off for just a few days but i am worried that when i put it back on it will leak. Has anyone had this problem and if so was it easy to fix.

I have had my top off numerous times and it has never leaked once. Dont worry, take it off, enjoy it. I think others will tell you the same. In fact, I only leave about 5-6 bolts in it when I put it on and it has never leaked. It takes less time to remove if you only stick the 4 corners and maybe 1-2 others in.
Hope this helps.

Pezley's right, it'll never leak, as long as you make sure the weatherstripping's in place. I've had mine off & on numerous times, with no leaks. I usually have about 6 bolts - the four corners and the two going up the sides, with no leaking problems - and we get a lot of rain here in the fall/winter/spring!

Make that 3 "Go for it's" I have had mine off many times as well. And like the others, I have had no leaks. Just make sure the weather stripping is in place. And get someone to help you. Its a bitch getting that top off by yourself.

Take it off I don't even have any bolts in mine right now. I will put a few in when I go wheeling . Also I'm missing alot of the weather stipping and I still don't leak.

Untill I lost my top in a wreck, it staid on the rack more then on my Bronco(no real leaking problem).
the only thing you need to be cearful of is not droping it while taking it off or putiing it on and how you store it.
I made a rack out of 2 2x4's some rope and a few eye bolts. (keep it off the floor, people tend to stack thing on it and that will crack the seams)
