You don't measure NVH on a CAD file, it's obtained in real life testing on a prototype and then you update the design as needed for production.

Better quality my a$$, I had two and they were adequate at best!
They are twice as heavy, always dirty looking, because they’re white and the size of the rear portion is pain to store, where do you possibly see the superiority? lol
Comparing it to the MIC cut edges, delamination, sharkskin, mismatched color, poping and leaking.

Seriously. There’s no way Ford is going to charge $7k.
Who said they would, I’d say they will be cheaper, but not that much, look at the price of other non-accessories plus shipping!

Geez, I think you’ve been drinking the YouTube cool-aid, my MIC is awesome, edges are nice, haven’t noticed any sharks or patchwork, no leaking and is perfectly quiet…now I did have to remove and reinstall to stop some creaking, but that took seconds, when did you get yours?

If you buy the ADV, where are you going to store that big front panel? I'd never remove the shell, but would want the front removed frequently. Better yet, I want the Sunrider and that wont work.

Nope, just read the threads and photos here on B6G, glad you got one of the better ones.

I seem to recall the Shadow Black mod top being under $4k before they pulled it back. I would hope they stay close to that price or offer incentives to those that wanted it but had to settle for something else.

Every one I’ve seen has been fine, so I think the exaggeration by idiots is taken way too seriously…if there is a problem, Ford will cover it, it’s a first year product with a rather long warrantee, I don’t see this as an issue at all and some of the videos/reviews out there are just plain bad/useless!
Also, I assume I’m extremely lucky, as my Bronco has had less issues than any new car I have ever purchased, so I assume I’m the luckiest guy in the world, because driving my Bronco I feel like I am! 👍🐴🐴🥌🤟🇨🇦🏔✌🏜

Really?
You are saying Ford released the pricing for the MOD top before it was even produced or was that the extra you would pay on top of the standard top from the factory, because factory pricing is much lower than dealer priced parts! (Yes, I used to work at a Ford dealership in another life) :)-

I think we should just wait on Ford to build the mod top as was standard on WT and FE's. If there are enough of us that want one maybe we can get a mass purchase price? Sounds good doesn't it....probably wishful thinking

It was on the order form before building began. I had it on my initial order until they decided to to pull it back and made everyone choose MIC or soft top. Someone has a screenshot of an early order sheet showing it being available and the price.
