The windows were open and the soft top was apparently attached and unaffected.
Convertible top owners of vehicles with fabric fabrics are familiar with how to fight inclement weather. It would be ideal for motoring to have sunshine and warmth all the time so that we can enjoy open-air driving. We get blizzards when we live in colder areas, which can be very frustrating.
These eye-opening photos are not from Ford. They aren’t even from his new Bronco. Tyrone Raddi shared some photos of his snowbound Bronco in the Bronco 6th Gen group after it braved 50-mph winds in Tuktoyaktuk in Canada. This is about as far north as you can go in Canada’s Northwest Territories.
He explained to Motor1.com that his Bronco was already thawed, cleaned and ready for use. He does wonder if the soft top on his Bronco is leaking.
Fair enough, Tuktoyaktuk can be a place where you might experience extreme winter weather. The Arctic Ocean is just a few miles away. It has a low average temperature of minus zero degrees Fahrenheit. Raddi says that garage maintenance is difficult in this area due to the ground shifting, which causes the doors to misalign. Most vehicles are left outside, exposed to the elements. The photos prove that the elements can sometimes be quite brutal.
Raddi informed Motor1.com the soft top had never been completely removed. Raddi undid two latches in August, but never opened the top completely. The top is also intact. He claims that the Bronco was securely fastened with the windows open and the top secured when the Blizzard arrived. The wind-whipped snow just found a way in. There is a lot of this, judging by the appearance of things.
The Facebook post is in a group so we can’t embed it here. However, you can see it at the link below. Ford is defended by many commenters, who point out that extreme weather conditions are an issue with any soft-top vehicle. Raddi wonders if his Bronco is having problems, or if the soft-top’s overall sealing issues are more widespread.
