Curious to know how other's front panels fit on their Bronco. Is it normal for there to be some unevenness or are they meant to be completely flat?

There are a few threads on this if you use search. They will probably mention TSB 22-2288. Just Google that.

Sweet, I have the same issue. Plus, part of the weatherstrip is popped up.

And the damn rear cap is cracking under the window, which is warrantable.

Hmm, the TSB is 2021-2022. Not clear why it's limited.

Knock on wood, Iā€™ve never had a single drop of water leak and Iā€™ve taken the front tops off dozens of times, so I guess Iā€™ll consider myself fortunate and keep truckā€™n until I replace it with a soft top someday.

Take it to your dealership. My MIC got replaced the beginning of March for that and the "honeycomb" issue.

You can easily adjust the latch points to fix this. You need to pull down the overhead console to get access to the latch plate bolts. They adjust up/down.
