$9,600 replacement MIC 2-door tops?

[andrusoid]

Evidently so. Dealer's body shop called me to let me know that their/State Farm's estimate had grown from app. $12,000 to nearly 30k. Big part was the MIC top which had taken some damage when my Bronc swung around and hit the side of the Sacramento city bus that nailed me in the front quarter panel. (Driver swears he light was green.)

Evidently, SF wanted to know if he could just repair the top. I had this machine for a bit more than a month. Drove it from Nashville to California and, no, I don't think I want the top to be glued/chemically welded back together. Pics available when I get them.

But, seriously Ford. $9,600?

Is that what it will cost soft top owners who wish to purchase a new one?

Wanted that from the factory. State Farm has to pay. Hopefully they won't total it? Not sure on that one.

Well, 2 doors have no factory option, but I thought the 4 door price was $2500, painted even. Not sure, anybody?

I went to a Ford dealer and asked for a price to replace a MIC and was quoted $16k in parts

So now all of us that switched to a soft top are now paying $8k more for our Bronco when we finally get the hardtop through Ford parts/accessories. F-ing Bullsh!tt.

Methinks him marketh up muchly! Would not go back there. State Farm's estimate was straight cost, I reckon. Also based on a 4-door according the the dealer's body shop.

Make them pay you instead of using their body shop. Use a shop of your choosing for the body work and put a Bestop on it. Pocket the 8k difference.

I hear ya. Loud and clear. Plan on selling this for the 04 model change, maybe. Keeping it all Ford for now. Really want to replace the intercooler, etc. but keeping it stock for now.

Take the insurance check for the body shop and hard top. Pay the body shop. Buy any soft top you want.

If they total it, BUY IT BACK. You can usually get it for pennies on the dollar. Then buy a soft top and drive it. Order a new one and sell this one.
