Pain in the "A". Even broke a couple of the small plastic clips down the side cause I was pulling the wrong way at one point. Even harder to get it all back together. If I hadn't decided already, I definitely decided today that I'm ordering the Bestop.
Congrats, Kos! Still No idea where mine is after being unloaded in Richmond, CA over a week ago as you’ll recall. Ford now saying March 27. No idea why it takes three weeks to truck it to Portland in one day. Ugh.It's finally here. Dealer called me this morning to say it arrived overnight. Asked if I could pick it up this afternoon and he hesitated a little saying wasn't sure if they'd have it detailed by then or not. Agreed to plan on meeting at 2 pm and he would call if it wouldn't be ready. When I arrived this afternoon he admitted he had had 4 customers come in because they specifically wanted to see the green in person. Told them they had to hustle over because I was getting it right away.
Great experience with my dealer. Even paid a little under MSRP! They are using the $1K customer satisfaction program $$'s to do a ceramic coat & under body rust protection (their offer, take it or leave it).
Only issue, passenger front seat won't move front to back, stuck in the front position. They'll fix it when they do the ceramic coat. Said parts shouldn't be an issue because they are all common with the Explorer. Maintenance manager said he had never seen that before and apologized for not catching it on inspection. I said the only reason I caught is because my wife went on the test drive with me.
Also, no better day than when it's 68 degrees out in April in Nebraska to pick up an open top vehicle! Guy even yelled "Nice Ride" at me when I was putting the top back up.
@Kos , can you help me find if my Bronco has left the assembly plant in Wayne? It was marked "shipped" last Thursday, but when I call the CSX line, it keeps saying "status not available". My VIN is 1FMDE5BH3NLA88434 and my Rail Car is BNSF 301295. Thank you in advance!!!!
EDIT: Would that be the 800-635-5768 number? tksLoaded on 3/10 and it is shipping via the NS (a very small percentage never touch the CSX, that's why you get a "status not available" message). Last reporting point was Danville, KY this morning. Can't see the forecast so I can't give you an ETA.

That's great information, thank you. Ford CS says their information still says it is in Wayne. My ETA is 4/3/22. Is there a way I can track it since CSX will not work? Again, thank you so much for the help!!!
You can find the various trackers here....EDIT: Would that be the 800-635-5768 number? tks

Wow , our build week sure benefited from that 2 week closure. I feel so bad for all the people that were built beginning of January and on that are sitting on ice mountain.I’m in build week 24, and decided to plot the build data including the weeks before and after ours. For your week there’s no ‘built’ column so I used ‘shipped’ instead.

We definitely shot the gap. A week earlier, we would been in Ice Mountain. few weeks later we'd be getting a Bronco missing chips.Wow , our build week sure benefited from that 2 week closure.

Awesome graph and info..shows the scale of the issue. If you factor in total builds, for instance I am a 1/25 blend was 262 of 1147 that day. Figure half were broncos say even 600 to 650 ..then do that for each day....10% built maybe...so 50 or 60 built/ shipped.I’m in build week 24, and decided to plot the build data including the weeks before and after ours.
