And both made by Webasto.

Point is you'd think that somebody would've found a better supplier.

If they couldn't keep up with FCA pre-covid, what kind of genius would think they could keep up with FCA AND Ford post-covid?

Can't wait to build a doghouse out of my MIC top and put a best top softie on.

Does anyone know if the modular hardtop comes with sound deadener or is it also a option for the modular top also?

The way I see it, the new management team at Ford may have decided that in the interest of a speedy delivery they would standardize as much of the production as they can. These guys are literally sitting on about 200,000 reservations and do not know how they will deliver it.

I get it because honestly people have been waiting for this for a long time and maybe we give up a little bit of our preferences that can be updated later in exchange for early delivery and then as soon our favorite items -black or white painted tops -come out we can switch. That's what I am going to do. Maybe Ford can offer incentives for the exchanges when time comes. That said, I agree, the grey molded in tops look dreadful on some of the colors and Ford needs to work on product rollout; they are not Apple, i get it, but they can do better than this.

I was thinking the same thing. Ford can keep the $1895, I'd much rather have the Black modular Hard top. With Jeep they let us keep are place in line and as the color match tops became avaiable they would fill orders first to last. Lets hope it's the same scenario with Ford. But as I'm learning with Ford Motor Company, something so simple can become very difficult if not impossible.

Can’t believe Ford is doing this to us

Keep in mind.....Ford has been in the financial gutter quite awhile. Middle & senior management typically earns half+ of their salaries through stock options. When that dries up, folks leave...plus you get snubbed by superstar recruits.

Ford just doesn't have the horses. Did you see the BN video????

I agree they need to up production. But the more I see pics on the gray top the more I dislike it. Plus I was really excited about the rear windows coming off. If I'm going to spend over $60k on a Bronco I think it would be worth waiting for the Top that was promised, even it takes months to get. Heck I've been waiting for the new Bronco for years whats another 3 to 6 months.

I’ve skimmed through the pages and didn’t see any concrete talk of it so please go easy on me ?
BUT, I see discussion on the grey MIC, and *painted* black coming later. But I’m not seeing any info on just a black MIC hard top.. which is what I’d assume is like what’s on a Wrangler?

That’s what im asking about. I think it’s weird that the standard color isn’t MIC black. Does anyone know if there’s talk of one coming? Or are the only options for the foreseeable future grey and painted black?

Hey guys...is this the MIC carbonized grey top or a prototype top? If this is the MIC carbonized grey...I feel it looks perfectly fine...

Another thing. Is the PAINTED black modular hard top only high gloss? So if I don't want a high gloss black (the one they are making late avail) are my only options

1) Black cloth (plan to get anyway)
2) MIC carbonized grey

i.e. there's no MIC Black or Shadow black top?

There is no black MIC. The MIC is the dark “carbonized gray.”

If you want a Black top, or any other color, you have to get the modular top.

There has been speculation about why the MIC is gray and not black... will it fade less than black and look better longer? Does it go with more colors? Is it to match the fenders, handles and mirrors? Is it to push people to the modular? Is it a materials science thing?

No one has shared the answer.
