Man, what a cluster...
Never could I have imagined that Ford would get so much so wrong.

It says “new rear top”, not the old one.The letter from David Johnson states that this only applies to Broncos built between January 28, 2021 and July 21, 2021. The Service Action states that delivered vehicles will have the top roof PANELS and REAR QUARTER GLASS replaced. It appears that the rear top will not be replaced.
Watch my22 onward MSRP going up by a lot because Ford has to make up for lost revenue and the cluster fuck they are in. Everyone that ordered after March 19th and not getting something in 2021 is going to be hit with an ugly markup...that's why Ford keeps mentioning March 19 in so many places in the 2 pages update
What's absolutely mental to me for fellow Dirt Mountaineers is how poorly they are addressing units built and just sitting around.
- If it's cosmetic only, like they say, give us an option to waive Ford liability and accept a bad QC roof at which point FMC is out = Money Saved
- If you can't waive liability like that (not a Lawyer so who knows...?) send the jank MIC, and charge me freight on the new one you're giving me anyways = Money Neutral
- Offer to toss on a soft top and refund MIC, if I want one later I'll buy one = Probably money lost due to the labor required off the line
- Run around with heads cut off trying to make tops like crazy and let 2k Broncos sit around while our customers get increasingly annoyed = Money assuredly wasted

Yes, they will be producing less Broncos with these parts. Should make room to continue production of the parts to meet the known demand starting end of December.

This is still such bullshit! This was your F Up! But we all get penalized. For those of us with Broncos sitting in a sand pit, allow us to change to soft top if we want. But again, we’re all at their mercy. If I hadn’t waited 5+ years from initial leak of a bronco snd a year + since reservation I’d tell them to stick it. How about 0% financing for 84 months? How about giving us something other than more lip service.

You cannot sign away gross negligence. That is what would happen if you sell a part that you were well aware of being defective, and there is an injury to person or property due to said defective part.

Like everyone else, this is so frustrating. In July I changed my BD order to a soft top, removed trailer package and safari bar. I left the 2.7 on my order. I’m really hoping this helps me getting build date. I reserved on 7-15-20 and placed my order on 1-19-21.

Just switched my 4door to a soft top. Hopefully I’ll be a September build now. Morning of Day 2 reservation holder.
I used to be so dead set on the bronco, but now I’m driving my perfectly good Gladiator around, wondering if I should just keep it. The longer this goes on, the less excited I am.
On the bright side, I was leaning toward the soft top anyways. My wife preferred the hard top so I was going with it. But now she would rather have it sooner with a soft top. I really like the idea of dropping the top when I want, and having it with me when I want it on.

It's not gross negligence if it's "purely cosmetic".
I'd like to know why "purely cosmetic" on a $1000 roof is gonna cause my $50k build to sit outside in Michigan for 2 full seasons unmoved. Be a lot more "purely cosmetic" wear on the whole vehicle after than if they just send me the damn thing now...
So they either don't want to, or are lying.

You would be surprised at what kind of injury claim a good lawyer could construe from "purely cosmetic."
