If the same synchro rings come in the updated transmission as the ones for the TSB, is there a logical reason for performing the TSB on the 2024 model ?
I was advised by a shop that Wrapping would not work, as the holes and deformations can be seen even if the wrapping material is 10 mm in thickness.
Anderson should not advertise this hardtop as paintable as it requires thousands of dollars in prep work, and can not even be finished to match...
I advise you to not get the primered version. I got mine a few weeks back, after paying thousands of dollars in prepping and painting work it still looks like garbage. The surface is full of waves, holes, and unfinished spots.
yes, this indeed Anderson composite hard top that was ordered through BMC Extreme Costume in NJ.
Look at the headliner that is coming apart and you can tell is made by Anderson. Below are the pic. While it was being worked on at the body shop.
the owner of the body shop send the message below...
Email sent to Anderson by the body shop:
Attn: George
“We have been working on painting a top for a 2021 Bronco sold to xxxxx through xxxxx. These parts were supposed to be ready for paint. I understand what it takes to paint parts like these. As we have painted numerous hoods, fenders...
Waves and some other blemishes are a lot more visible to the naked eye, as when I take pic light reflection doesn’t really show many of the problems. Headliner is also coming a part, and the locking knob is not installed properly, on right front panel, as when moved to locking position, it...
The headlines is also falling apart, and the finish on the inside came right off as soon as i moved the locking knob. Waves are noticeably clearer with a naked eye, when you take pic. They don’t quite show. Other blemishes are difficult to see on pic. Because of the reflection, but I will take...
After 32 weeks of waiting, I received the “Paintable” hardtop, and I can tell you that this hardtop is very, very poorly constructed, with many deformities, including uneven wavery surfaces, holes, bumps, missing weather strips on the sides. The auto body shop sent a message to Alex, expressing...
I just got mine a few weeks back, "primed" paintable one after 32 weeks of waiting , and it is very poorly constructed, with holes, uneven surfaces, bumps, gaps on weather strips, a complete waste of $7k. Anderson told me that I needed to tell the body shop to fill in the holes and straighten...
I waited 32 weeks to get my Anderson “primed” hardtop and I can tell you that the hardtop I received is very poorly constructed, with uneven surfaces , holes, bumps , and other deformities. It was delivered to an auto body shop that worked on it for weeks, however could not get rid of the...
My dealer replaced the transmission, however, they said they would not mess with the TSB.
Do you mind sharing the name of the dealer that is performing the TSB?
My Ford dealer is very supportive, and the service manager is extremely knowledgeable. He contacted Ford Motors recently about this ongoing issue, and he told me that there is not a real, permanent fix to this problem at this point.
He was very disappointed with the answers he received from...
