I messaged them the other day, and they told me they have "one year experience" building hard tops. That's pretty much exactly the same as Ford...
Check your facts prior to dissing a small independent company. Picking mine from up from ADV in mid December.
From what I’ve read, ADV didn’t even have the equipment to make hard tops until a couple months ago. Seems unlikely they’ve got any more experience than the others. Fenders maybe.I messaged them the other day, and they told me they have "one year experience" building hard tops. That's pretty much exactly the same as Ford...
I'm going with the ADV hard top. I think it looks better and they have 25+ years experience in this stuff. I'm cautiously optimistic.
Not that I know of, the mod top is smooth and painted, should be produced by Webasto unless it changed.
Why would somebody buy an MIC for $6k when the aftermarket options look to be of better quality and at the same price? Possibly much better quality. But, we will know for sure once we see them and compare. I have a feeling MICs will fetch maybe $3k-$4k once the aftermarket options are around and found to be of better quality. I’m interested in a hardtop and would buy ADV modular top right now if I had to choose based on them being the same cost and the little we know on how quality compares. It has a better design style than the MIC and probably less leaks and squeaks due to it having less panels than MIC.
It's hard to make that claim when not a single aftermarket top actually exists beyond a pre-production prototype, and based on what's been posted this week, ADV looked like hot garbage in some of the photos... worse than MIC 1.
I will reserve my opinions on fit and finish to the production models and putting them up against production MICs
They have apparently shipped 20 of them but would love to see what they look like installed...
That's 20 more than ADV has shipped
