I see carb Gray at the edges, just looks like it must have a sticker or tape on it.
I wasn't even thinking about possibly protective tape on it. I hope that is all this might be, and it didn't get a cover from a different color rig.

Protective tape used on painted parts during assembly, translucent pale blue in color - post-build QC should catch that...if not, then the dealer prep will.
Thanks! Hopefully that is all this is

Maybe we should be like Charger and Challenger owners where they leave the protective tape on or add it later for fashion. :unsure:
Dodge Bros literally buy/sell shipping protectors on eBay. Those dudes are a different breed 🤣

It’s just tape.

You should be fine. When I use the enhance feature while looking at your picture it appears to be a piece of blue tape or felt type tape covering the mount cover. There is def carb grey on each side. Feel free to zoom in on the pic yourself.
It does appear that you may have the non-wavy rear windows for the soft top.

Like many others I finally received the production line photo yesterday of my build, which is currently making its way through Oklahoma to Texas right now. After looking at the photo a few times my eyes noticed a strange color from the driver side windshield accessory mount cover. At first, I thought it might be a way the light was reflecting, but this seems to be a completely different color cover. Does anyone else notice this? Any idea of what Bronco color that may be? Also, I have looked at previous threads of people who have had to replace these and it seems when order they are not painted, so it does not look like a quick and easy solution.

My only hope is that this was caught during final inspections.... but I am not holding my breath on that one. Has anyone else seen this occur?

I think the eye is picking up the blue from the sticker on the windshield. This then transfers to the cover. This in turn plays games on the mind so it appears to be blue. At least this takes your eye off the dent in the rear quarter!!

The good news is none of those are painted. They are all MIC like the hard top.

What? No. They are body color painted.
Gotcha. I had read otherwise, about people missing them. Still waiting on mine so no first hand experience.

In before someone chimes in with “leave it that way and sell your unicorn at Barrett Jackson in 2223 for a large profit”

As others have said above it appears to be protective tape in this instance.

He’s not talking about the windshield sticker.
