Painted tops discontinued?

[Louis]

I’m thinking of going with the mic with the black Bronco. Maybe change to an aftermarket painted one if I’m not lovin the look.

All the MIC 1.0 that was not destroyed and several early MIC 2.0 will likely become MIC 1.2.6 and 2.1.4 with the paint modification. I’m actually Looking forward to it. I’d take a cast off MIC too but I think I’m still missing the Bronco piece.

The modular top is not a recycled MIC top, it is a completly different design, built by a completly different company. Ford pulled the contract from Webasto when they screwed up th MIC tops and gave it to a new supplier.

First wild sighting: Painted Black Mod Top on 2021 Bronco

@North7 was your daily average post count going down?

Not at all, just a stupid my dealer said thread deserves a stupid long reply.

Sorry to bother you. It’s the first I heard from them in a long time and I thought I missed some info. Won’t happen again.

The painted hard top was never just a painted MIC. Windows are removable and the top panels are different. They are also metal.

Sorry, the modular top is not metal, just a different type of construction material.

Just an FYI, the modular painted roof was confirmed to be a metal roof design. Completely separate product line from the current hard top.

Link please?

Where was it confirmed. All the ones I’ve seen in testing were fiberglass

Thank you for posting since you are a confirmed person in the know about the mod top, not just another poster having read something somewhere and then repeating it as truth.

Yea, looking now, it’s just random third party sites that mention them being metal. Could have swore I saw some official language back in 2020 about them being metal too, but can’t find anything now. Guess they aren’t metal after all!

This is painfully pointless.
No wait this is a mirror!

It's not metal. Same inner construction as the MIC but with a different SMC outer shell.

edit: OK so everyone already responded lol

The black BL that was making the rounds in the early days of Super Cel East and West had a black painted mod top. I saw and touched it in person. It looked like painted metal, but when you tap it, you can tell it’s a fiberglass shell.

I saw that video and I really liked the top. If I can get the 22 with the mic next fall I’m going to go for it. Thanks for responding!
