@ADV Fiberglass Thank you for doing this. Excited to have a high quality manufacturer work on this issue we have.

I’ve seen this top in person. The wiper motor doesn’t block your view much at all.

I’d save cash and skip the financing, then.

I doubt you’d get the financing before 6-12 months from now, based on what they’ve said so far, in which case you could probably save what you need and avoid any interest payments.

I'm good with waiting, I'm uncomfortable with buying first run of anything this large. Especially when there is no refunds and not much of a warranty

Some random thoughts.
- I'm not a big fan of the slanted back for a few reasons. Less room inside if you want to put something bulky. Living in Canada, we get a lot of snow and an inclined window will catch more snow than a vertical would.
- Good call on putting the wiper at the top of the window. Less weight to support for the hydraulic cylinders. Wiper motor will get less stress if there is snow on it (for those who don't clean it before driving away).
- Like a few others, I'm questioning the angle of the open window (90° vs. 70° for the OEM).
- One thing I'm disappointed of is the absence of drip rails.
- Kudos for matching the Trailrax rack with your roof.

I get that, but I was curious what it is for? Something to do with the wiper?

It is the rear wiper motor.

We assure you that this post is 100% focused around the hardtop. The hardtop is the almost the size of the entire Bronco so therefore it requires the majority of the Bronco to be shown.

Really though?

If I owned/operated ADV, I would have already nixed my plans to make this product, simply because of the pissing and moaning by you guys in this forum. Holy crap guys what a bunch of little man babies. I've never seen anything like this.

It is 10"x5" and does not affect visibility by much. You can still clearly see out of the window.

Probably taking a few pictures or/and a video with the window visibility will help, as it was asked multiple times

They answered it a while back. They think it would work better for snow.

We will be able to show the sound deadening headliner in November with the first few production units. At this time, we do not have anymore supply chain issues and are confident on starting to ship pre-orders in December.

Do you think it's possible to have a more accurate estimation for a specific order? It would be helpful as I could be in Cali in December, and I would prefer to install it there instead of shipping it to WA.

Same here.

Just curious... the renders of this hardtop show a very smooth finish. The pictures appear to be more rough, almost Line-x texture. How is the surface finished?
