Things To Remember When Removing Ford Bronco Doors

Adventure calls, but before you head out, remember the following:

  1. If storing doors on board with the optional storage bags: remove left rear door first, if equipped; remove left front door second; remove right front door third and right rear door last.
  2. Make sure the storage bag is fully secured; the bag must cover the edge and corners of the door to prevent accidental door damage before proceeding with the removal of the door.
  3. Store hinge bolts in the pocket of the tool pouch.
  4. Rear seat occupant alert will not function with doors removed.
  5. Return mirrors to the driving position before driving.

*Removal of doors for off-road use only.
