Here you go...What was the original proposed price delta for the painted mod top?

My wife's JLU has the Sky One Touch roof with the rear windows that pop out, so it for sure is a caol feature.Unknown if that feature made it to the final version. There were some issues with the prototypes, especially the 2 door which has a very large, heavy, and unwieldy slab of window. Hopefully they figured it out, very cool feature.
Ya my brothers new Jeep has it too. Fords approach is very different than the Sky one touch, their entire side panel comes off. Ford was just removing the glass. Not quite as cool, and more sketchy removal and storage process for the mod top.My wife's JLU has the Sky One Touch roof with the rear windows that pop out, so it for sure is a caol feature.
THISSince it’s painted, do we think it can be scratched easier when removing or using a roof rack etc or would it most likely be some sort of film or protectant?
Add 2-3 grand and you're probably in the ballparkI want to know Ford's estimate of when they will have these to the retail Market, as an after market item. I would jump on an $1,895.00 MOD top immediately, but I somehow don't see that price translating over to actual Retail price.
and maybe $3k+ added to that price. After seeing the aftermarket fiberglass top that was released after a slow tease over a month or so and the cost of that hardtop, I'll bet this MOD top will be more expensive adding from the parts counter at the dealership.Add 2-3 grand and you're probably in the ballpark

Guys, your not close. $1895 is NOT the retail price from the factory. Its the upgrade price over a soft top, which the price of is buried in the vehicle cost. So assume $2k for the soft top and the factory cost of a mod top is close to $4k. Then the fact that add ons are always much more at the parts counter than from factory. Then freight. You will not buy a mod top at the parts counter for $4k, it will be much more.When you compare to other aftermarket items like front bumper, skid plates, rock rails...to accessories prices - they can be 50% to double the price. I would expect the mod top to be closer to $3000 as an add on. I doubt it will not be the same as the accessory prices listed here.
I agree and I am being optimistic when I am estimating since I would think $4000 is too much for me. Maybe other aftermarket retailers will come under the Ford price, for example Best Top 4 DR soft top is $1500 with free shipping.Guys, your not close. $1895 is NOT the retail price from the factory.

I think the Ford top will be less due to scalehttps://www.advfiberglass.com/products/2021-2022-ford-bronco-hardtop?variant=39547147747430
This one is nearly $6k. I'd bet add $2k to this and you might start getting close to buying a MOD top from a Ford parts counter.
