I wonder how the warranty claims will work out? MIC 2.0 replaced by MIC 2.0 with the same issues as 1.0 and 2.0? Will 3.0 be the same crappy top? Inquiring minds want to know.

Bad news about MIC 2.0 quality after a few days

Have had the Bronco for 5 days now, and this snakeskin/honeycomb splotch developed sometime today. Based on production date I’m just assuming it’s a 2.0, but I see no difference from a 1.0. There’s not a single rolled edge anywhere on this top, and there was a slight honeycomb on the back at delivery but no discoloration, so it is hard to see and only appears in certain light. Up until this splotch, none of the cosmetic issues bothered me. The only problem I personally had with the MIC is it seems like I have a window cracked open at highway speeds.
At this point Ford knows all these “2.0” tops are crap, it’s just what/if they do anything about it. I don’t even want to deal with the hassle of possibly replacing this top with another “2.0” top that’s gonna have the same issues. Call me when there is actually an improved top(Not that I have much hope of a 3.0).
Top issues aside, I absolutely love this Bronco.
Is there some wrong with the top??? Let's ask the experts, hey @Ford Motor Company, this looks okay to you, doesn't it?

I honestly think Ford is just trying to get the reserved/ordered Broncos with hardtops delivered with some sort of top on it knowing they will have to fix it later with a better designed top. Would be nice if they would just concede and deliver the Broncos with hard tops and swap to a soft top if there are issues until replacement hard tops become available. I think that would keep the deliveries going.

I don't think they have made it that far yet. Right now it is important for them to know how many are bad by filing warranty claims.

Mine was approved today. I think this may end up haunting Ford for a while. I really hope that Ford takes whatever time is necessary to do this right. The Bronco is too damn good for Ford to sell it short and let this tarnish an otherwise incredible vehicle. I love my Bronco and look forward to it getting the top when they have everything lined out.

I’m really not looking forward to dealing with a leaky roof. Ford bought back a convertible Mustang from me due to leaks and I’ve had a couple sunroofs that leaked. Not fun. Forum members have said I probably won’t see my Bronco for a long time because I have many restricted options on my build, (MIC, Sasquatch, modular bumper, 2.7, etc.). That may turn out to be a blessing.

I wouldn't be surprised once Ford gets the MOD top going that they basically discontinue the MIC altogether.
Your choices will be a soft top or an MOD at a normal wrangler price.
They tried to cheap out with an MIC and it's been a total cluster.

My right rear clamshell pocket/roof rack mount location has a separating edge.
Also I have a short gasket between the two front panels. It results in some wind noise. If I stick my finger up into that hole it quiets down.

The MOD has been a total cluster too. Otherwise it wouldn't have been delayed two years. Only difference is they aren't shipping it in cluster form. Hopefully they are using this time to get it right.

My son works for Teijin (was Continental Structural Plastics). They are in phase I of prototyping for a Bronco top.
What I don’t know is if it is for Ford or an aftermarket company, as his plant makes F150 Raptor parts and EVO Mustang hoods (along with Corvette body panels). They supposedly are picking up some Jeep work too.

Maybe they will just have to bite the bullet and replace all of them with mod tops, or a version of it without the modular windows.
Ford MIC top is no cheaper than Jeep. The difference is the Ford soft top is more than Jeep, making the "upgrade" fees a little less than Jeep.

I took my vehicle in for some warranty claims just to get them in the books. The roof was one of them. I seem to have air coming in between the front two panels while driving at high speeds. I haven't noticed any dripping yet but I anticipate the roof getting worse as winter closes in. My edges are not "rolled" like they are suppose to be either. You can see the three layers at the edges and in certain areas when you push down on it you can visually see them flexing. I'm not rushing to Ford for a resolution until I see what other people are getting back. Right now it's not an issue but I don't have faith Ford has fully figured this out yet.
