Dropped my Bronco off yesterday afternoon for its Hard Top replacement therapy, it's 1st oil change, and to have a minor (cosmetic) issue warrantied. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and I'm back on the road by this weekend.

Still debating the hard top options. Ford 2.0 vs. Ford modular (if it happens) vs. ADV vs unknown new contender

@MontyMoose

@MontyMoose nice. I've never seen that before.

Like I said, I like the concept, but I gotta wonder: 1) how bad is the road noise without any dampening material? And 2) How hot does it let things get in the summer (since it's not like a moonroof that you can close off)?

@MontyMoose

@MontyMoose I agree with all those. My first thought was light and glare while driving and the heat.

Got her back on Friday. So far everything looks and SOUNDS good. The v1.0 top I had had the common locator pin "rattle," and so far this v2.0 does NOT. However, I haven't taken the panels off yet so that could change going down the road. Thankfully it's an easy fix with either the heat shrink tubing on the pin and/or the 1/4"x1mm felt on the grommet. The minor (cosmetic) issue was replaced under warranty: the plastic cowl that sits between the hood and the windshield as it was deformed near where the antenna is on the passenger side.
When I dropped it of I also pointed out that three of the rear defrost lines were damaged, and not in any place where one would expect any damage to occur. Dealer is claiming that Ford is saying it's NOT covered by warranty since it's "not burned out/looks like it has been scraped," but the service manager is offering to split the cost of replacing it with me because he thinks their decision is wrong. Currently have my sales agent and the "new vehicle delivery specialist" working on getting it fully covered under warranty since it has been like that from the factory and should be covered under the 3yr/36K mile bumper to bumper anyway, so

@MontyMoose Good news on the top and good luck in the fight.

did you order the hard top after you got the vehicle or did it come with the vehicle ? I'm trying to find where I can get one.

@qader999 Mine's a First Edition, so it came with it (though I initially ordered dual tops until Ford nixed that option).
