Who had that magic 8 ball? @HotdogThud was that you?
I only have the ATF magic 8 ball, and all it said was, "Do you have a dog?"
Yep . . good point . . . a used buyer would still expect the warranty - if less than 3-yrs

Here on Bronco6G we are aware of the Bronco production issues particularly as it applies to the hard top. I have been curious to know if the public has an awareness. This YouTuber (video is dated July 21, 2021) seems to have some understanding. This bit of knowledge I found interesting.

Looks like @PREMiERdrum stopped answering questions right when you asked the one I was most interested in!

I don’t visit BN very much, are they even discussing the roof issue and stranded Broncos over there?
No need to be noble they want to be laid off trust me. Especially for what the future holds.

I have it- it’s annoying. Sounds like I stalled out at the light. I wanna look cool… not dumb!
If this ends up being reality, and that seems likely at this point, Ford needs to give people who have a VIN but not currently built a chance to switch to the soft top. If selecting a soft top with hard top connections was an option I would have done that from the beginning.

I'll go one step further. They ought to give all of us who have been built and are in MIC top purgatory the option to switch it out with a soft top and hard top connections and discount the difference. At this point I would just be happy to have my Bronco shipped if the only thing keeping it from passing QC is the MIC top.
That speedometer has to be the most useless gauge ever. To finely scaled for a peripheral gauge, and speeds you’d be stupid to drive at the top.
On the flip, that is the perfect place for a 7MT tach, with redline at the top.
So what I am getting out of this is Ford can’t reliably build a hard top in any volume at this time, and they don’t want to have to pay to ship hard tops when they can in the future.
So our choice is soft top, and we foot the bill later, or wait for an unknown period of time.
Given that 90% of the orders started out wanting a hard top, I’d say Ford has a huge customer satisfaction problem on their hands. Also, three years from now used Broncos with soft tops will be available in spades.
