When I took my top off I laid down a moving blanket on the ground and set the top down on its forward leading edges rather than on the guide pins. I felt it would give more support to the structure rather than concentrate the force on the pins. Plus it took up less space.Call me crazy but I fell like we should be able to set the tops on the floor and not worry about this. Dumb video in the manual says place it on a "soft surface". Not sure that would do much.
Seriously?Sounds like your weather stripping changed the angle of the top.
Not a bad idea. Any worry about the weight being on the rubber seal?When I took my top off I laid down a moving blanket on the ground and set the top down on its forward leading edges rather than on the guide pins.

LMFAO... once again, please show me how that happened BEFORE I installed additional weather stripping on the side of the B pillar.Sounds like your weather stripping changed the angle of the top.
Man, that sucks, get after them before 36k, because it is covered by the bumper to bumper warranty before 36k. Not that they will fix it, but at least you have a chance before 36k.Man what a shitshow. Don't feel bad, my mic 2.0 rear shell is literally falling apart and it has never been off.
Luckily it doesn't get a lot of miles. It's been at the dealer for well over a month now, fuel pump died at 6100 miles. Just waiting on the new shellMan, that sucks, get after them before 36k, because it is covered by the bumper to bumper warranty before 36k.

You said you pushed up the top to put in weatherstripping, and then your top cracked...LMFAO... once again, please show me how that happened BEFORE I installed additional weather stripping on the side of the B pillar.
Where exactly is this angle change?
I'll wait for your analysis
I lifted it up to move it rearward, and I then set it down on the Bronco, when the one guide pin failed to support the weight of the top and caused the crack as the pin caused what was possibly an existing stress fracture or other material defect to create the visible crack.You said you pushed up the top to put in weatherstripping, and then your top cracked...
