ADV Production Modular Hardtop!

[BroncoBoy22]

I was thinking more like $2500.

I honestly think that will happen in time. China already has the molds. It’s only a matter of time now

I don’t think a single person that defected to TOR is regretting it. As a matter of fact I think they are all relieved. They saved about $2500 when you include assembly, a much better warranty, AND they actually have their tops

Think of the people who have ordered this top and aren’t as “in the know” on this forum everyday like most of us. Could you image this showing up to your door and clueless of all the assembly steps required?

More importantly, how will the hardtop disaster impact Lebron’s legacy?

Hopefully he leaves the Lakers in the off season so we don’t have to worry about it

That was actually a big factor in my finally making the switch. The more I though about ADV's modular design, and the increased failure points it brought with it, the more leery I became.

Who is Lebron and why should I care?

There is no way this can be as rigid as a single piece design. Throw in a roof top tent with people moving around in it and I'm more concerned. Lucky for me I'm never buying this top I just hadn't seen these points mentioned.

Exactly, it's happened thousands of times. Amazon is full of Chinese copies of anything and everything. ADV should kept the process at home. So glad the 100% deposit was a red flag to me.

Not even in the same league as MJ.

Who pays for the warranty shipping back to ADV?

The customer.

All true!
I'm almost glad they messed this up so horribly now, allowing TOR time to sweep in offer what should be a more solid product, with a better warranty, better prices

I watched the video. And all I can picture is me, outside in the yard with dirt, cold, wind blowing, snow? maybe 90 degrees and the Sun beating down. Trying to but this top together, sweating bullets, cursing, Back killing me, loosing parts, tools. And it taken me all day to put it together.

Unfortunately our manufacturing teams timelines were pushed back more than we wanted (from what we stated back in November). We are doing everything in our power to move things along quicker. This is a production top used in the video. Feel free to come visit our shop and see the production units in person as well!

Why dont you be honest with people instead of stealing money for years now with no product in sight

I have to admit, my stomach sank a little when the new announcements hit last week right after I canceled. Then I saw the details about the assembly (which at least now explains the $500 cost to do it on-site), and I felt pretty good again. For some folks with the time and skill, it could be a fun project.

Not for me, and not at that price point.
