You know, I had several Miatas that never had a single issue with the hardtop. As a matter of fact, even my Ferrari hydraulic convertible top has less issues than this.... (and believe me, that's saying something). LOL
Clearly so many examples of building a decent top throughout automotive history - just WTF is going on with them??

Somebody needs to leave a bag of burning dog shit on Ford’s and Webasto’s front door step.
But they're already stepping in it daily!! 😆

Maybe they should collaborate with Jeep to get the top right :(

OT question, how is the MIC built ? Is it a frame covered with some kind of material/fabric, or is it molded ?

Relaxe......
I just want my bronco .....
This cosmetic issue of the top can be fix later after u received them...

I have a 2 door they did not offer a softtop option to get it faster....

Because of some cry baby the 2 door might get push again.......
I don’t see how anything you’ve said negates the fact the roof is not up to par.

It's been a few years but im 99% positive we used the same stuff for delaminations on kevlar/fiberglass and rotor blade repairs on Blackhawks. That's some good stuff!
Looks like great stuff. We used a 3M aerospace two parter at Boeing for joining fuselage skins we called "peanut butter" because of it's color, nasty shit but stands up to 35K feet, 600mph & 40 below. But very messy.

Well seems like you maybe can't build a quality top within the weight limitation specs. All the problems not just tops seem to be related....hmmm

I think it’s a trade secret but basically it is a cardboard box covered in Flex Seal spray.

LOL. BS. I guess you've never owned a fabric-top convertible. Own one long enough and you'll be replacing the top, trust me on this.
Well ignoring the fact nobody is talking about soft top roofs here. If yours was disintegrating and leaking from the factory you would expect it to be replaced. Any other stupid comparisons you want to throw at me?

Well, I am hoping the Aftermarket has a solution. I switched to a Soft top, but I am planning on purchasing a hard top once I get the Bronco.

Are you saying this thing is disintegrating in a matter of a few days, or you just didn't pay attention to it when you picked it up?
It appears to have separated ex post facto.

Do you have a process label for your Top ?
My MIC top has a 5/19/2021 date. Vehicle build date was 7/2/21
This label is on the mounting flange. A second one dates a coating that was applied.

I shall take a look and post if so.

how do we see this moving forward, do you think there will another re-tooling delay and 3.0? selfishing thinking of how this affects my 11/15 build week MIC 4 dr. I'd rather just get it at this point and have Ford replace/fix later. (I'll be getting a bestop softop afterwards for half the yr)
