ADV cannot even get a single unit out the door. They have been making claims of their "Amazing" roof for over a year now taking deposits since February - with ZERO units shipping - first deliveries were to be April, then May - the first unit now planned for August or September - these guys do not seem to have any better solution than Ford does. Making youtube videos with the same prototype is getting old - Covid caused delays blah, blah, blah - quit making excuses if you actually have a product to sell.

That’s fine. You can put me down as a -1 for the 2 door version too. My money will be going to whichever company designs an aftermarket soft or hard top without the angled rear fastback window. Anybody else think those look dumb?

Feels like so many of the aftermarket accessories should just come with pre-installed Monster Energy stickers, and a free three-month subscription to a satellite radio service that plays exclusively Nickelback, Creed, and Buck Cherry.

I don’t think you will see an exact copy of OEM hard top. Slant back keeps prevents lawsuits. I don’t like the slant back either.

 

[BroncoBoy22]

I like that the slant is offered!

if you like the OEM style but want better quality go with Anderson. There’s is licensed by Ford from what I understand.

if you want unique style but better quality than OEM go with ADV.

it’s great we went from no choices to two legit ones

We do not offer a 2-Door hardtop at this time.

I’m not hearing a no

How can a pipe dream be compared to an actual tangible item?

In this video we compare a Ford Bronco Factory OEM hardtop with our Aftermarket Hard Top.

Highlights

Our hardtop comes in textured black to match the Bronco trim or in a primed finish for painting, while the OEM hardtop is only available in gray
Our hardtop is stronger because the rear section is one consistent panel, while the OEM hardtop is four pieces that flex
Our hardtop has a rubber seal for complete and consistent sealing, while OEM hardtop has gaps that create airflow and moisture
Our hardtop has the wiper washer assembly in a better location to reduce stress on components, while the factory hardtop stresses components
OEM hardtop can have issues with moisture entering the laminate and paper core, causing mold and separation, while our hardtop uses closed cell foam to prevent these issues

Recommended edits:

Give me my God damn hard top I pre ordered May of 2022 already. By the time I get my hardtop the vehicle will have so many kilometers and the bronco will have to go.

Why isn't Ford addressing the poor quality of their fiberglass tops?

We have voiced our thoughts. " CRICKETS"

Actually i don't think it is fiberglass.

Yeah, seeing the TOR hardtop vs MIC, I would agree. The TOR hardtop is much more rugged (definitely fibreglass) and you call tell from one of their videos of someone walking all over it. I’d fear if you tried that with the MIC, you’d just fall right through.
