If the problem is just with the hard tops, I wish they would have run with just soft tops first...maybe it's both tops causing delays, but I thought I understood from the Webasto employee on here that the issues were with the hard top and quality or design issues.
This is crazy as hell. How does that work when you have a ton of bronco's with no tops sitting on a dealers lot while it rains and snows for several months on them with no tops. Are you serious?

Could be a Quality Control nightmare not to do first batch test fits.

I will second Mike. Ford, I have your back on this. Ship me my first edition and I will enjoy my black interior while I wait for the top to ship. I will improvise ESPECIALLY if I could have a black top shipped later!

I'll wait for a hardtop that has fit and finish. Even if I have to wait for 2023. Now I have to race over to the 4runner store before they apply ADM to them.

Like the guy didnt know prior to conference
There are a lot of SEC regulations around public communications for publicly traded companies. Even if he knew, he may been waiting on clearance from Ford lawyers before he could say anything.

Just because both tops are made in US, it doesn't mean all the underlying parts are. So the US makers might be stuck with supply chain problems. I'd risk taking mine without a top if it comes in the summer!

Agreed. I'll park mine in the garage until the top arrives. In the meantime, I'll only take it out when the weather is appropriate. I just want my Bronco already. :)

The tops, or portions, are made in China. That is the delay, COVID related issues in China.
I think they're both made by Wesbaco/Webasco? if I have it right...in MI.

I don't like soft tops, but if they offered one for a 2 door, I'd go that route until they shipped me my MIC, or go topless. Make it happen Ford. I'll sign a waiver if that's what it takes.

Although I understand why they wouldn't do it, I would have probably taken it without a top in June as well :oops: Doors and bikini top with MGV interior? Probably OK.
