I know we all know this information, but I saw this recently and didn't see it posted anywhere. Apologies if I missed it, though. I thought it was interesting to see everything summarized in one place.

Mods feel free to delete this if it's already been posted!
Whoever the guy is that Ford called on Jalopnik must live under a rock if he hadn't heard of the hard top issues.

Not embarrassed enough to provide a soft top option to 2 door owners. I say that they need a little more shaming!!!

Not everyone is completely strung out on the new Bronco, even in the industry. Even my buddies who have the same addiction to cars that I do barely know what’s going on with the Bronco. They could probably only tell you “it’s taking a while” and that’s only because I tell them.

Their business is cars so they should be on the Internet everyday just like TFL and others are

White,,White. The soft top needs to be white. I feel like calling Bestop myself and telling them. If not white then a light grey color.

Ford trying to make so many new model vehicles at the same time and trying to line up all the aftermarket crap for the Bronco that they were not keeping on top of what was going on with the hardtops .I am sure there was a person who was in charged if the hard tops getting made and made right and I really hope he demoted to cleaning the bathrooms

I contacted Jalopnik a while back about the issues...My guess is they were holding out for official word from Ford.
They don't want to lose access to cars to test from them, nor the press events Ford brings them to.
They don't want to burn those bridges.

That always was his job. They let him design the MIC because they did not care or think it was hard. The designer is not to blame, its his management. Its their job to see that it was done right and then check.

I agree even Wallstreet has not punished Ford too bad for the mistake, most people are oblivious to the issues unless they have a Bronco on order or worse yet a Bronco languishing on dirt mountain.
