$2k less doesn’t hurt.

I understand. I hope the tops work out for those who still have orders. The one-piece option was what drew me in in the first place.

I haven't been following this thread closely and just caught up on the manufacturing news. While I was originally willing to pay a premium for a US-made product, I'm disappointed they weren't upfront about outsourcing production.

Ultimately, I don't need a hardtop enough to justify the extra cost, especially when comparable options are available at a lower price point.

It’s the gift that keeps giving the whole year through!

I had the chance to stop by @ADV Fiberglass yesterday and check out their modular hardtop.


The first thing I noticed was the profile. The rear window is angled at the same angle as the angle at the top of the tailgate. The plain flows from the break line above the handle up to the roof line. The rear edge of the rear side windows follow the same

borrowed this from a previous post and thank the op for the content, I removed some text to just show the rear glass mostly.

I believe this to be better design than the others and I also wonder about the gel coat top layer on the Turn product
Being around boats all my life I am a little worried that hazing or cracks could develop in that top
Time will tell and I have come to terms with the way this all rolled out , not happy but a person has to choose and move on.

Notice that the inside top is smooth fiberglass, whereas the inside top in the photos on the adv are a carpet like liner.
I noticed the difference and shot a question concerning the headliner.

John confirmed that the headliner in the website postings,is in fact a smooth carpet finish.
Soooo, I guess we now know what the soundproofing headliner looks like.
No idea why this wasn't pointed out to us before, but it certainly ..in my opinion. Looks a lot nicer than the liners I have seen on the other hardtops.

What "inside" photos of the ADV top? I only see the same old exterior shots and renders

Go to their website. Click on bronco hardtop as if you were going to put in an order.
On the upper left a pic of the bronco with a hardtop appears, scroll through the various photos, you will eventually see several shots of the inside of the top.
It's a carpet like finish with raised sections going across the top

Pics may have been there the whole time. Never focused on them

Took me a while as I was looking in the modular one which doesn't have these photos. The one piece does though.

Especially with all the complaints about wondering what the liner looks llike

Yep, that's what got me too.

Looks like some kind of spray on texture?

Agree. Looks like the LineX spray-on liner to me.
