Bad news about MIC 2.0 quality after a few days

[Petek70]

I assume they knew they couldn't get the new tops made in order to deliver 2021 broncos so they decided to dress the 1.0 tops up and send the broncos home. I bet all of these tops will end up getting replaced with the true 2.0. Who knows though.

Except the best Bronco doesn't have a soft top option.

Pfffffft

Is he Mike Levine's evil twin? Or is that his alter-ego when he has to go out in public?

Someone in this forum called him mark a while back, so i followed.

Spoke too soon, mine appears to have some minor separation on the unfinished edges on the rear clamshell. Three out of the four notches are showing it.

Just checked mine and same issue. Damnit. Was not there when we picked up last week.

It's a safe assumption, seeing as we all got emails saying our builds were delayed waiting for MIC 2.0, and here we are with Broncos. Either Ford misspoke when they said we were delayed, or these are supposed to be MIC 2.0 tops.

I'm open to some reality where there is a position between those two. I am biased, as we all are.

I hope I’m right and your assumption is wrong. Time will tell….

I think these are MIC 1 and 2 combined. Some pieces look new with rolled edging. I am in the 'miscommunication' camp.

How long has WeBASTO been making tops for other manufacturers? No other manufacturer has any problems but Ford they can't make a decent top for Ford? I hope Ford sues the shit out of them to re-replace all these tops.

I won’t buy a Bronco without the hard top. Currently waiting on the MOD, but I will be interested to see what happens with that since it’s already been delayed for two years which makes me think that it may have design flaws that make the MIC top look good.

I’ve got time to wait and see how this plays out. No way I’d go with a MY 22 at this point. Unfortunately for Ford, more time will give me more options, like potentially sticking with my Jeep, or maybe going with the new 4 Runner. I’m betting while Ford tries to fix these f-ups, other manufactures will be making the 6g Bronco obsolete.

Anyway, I’m sorry any for any members dealing with this new issue.

Hard to sue if Ford management and engineering led, directed and/or had final go/no go decision making on the design for a top that can’t be manufactured with consistent quality.

the mod tops will be shit too you wait and see

Different company has been contracted for those. So we shall see.

Does this align with the letter you received? If so there are tons of gaps and wiggle room regarding whether the panels came off the new tooling or are reworked. As stated in your post above it’s probably a combination of all three: 1) Reworked panels. 2) New panels. 3) A mix of reworked and new panels. I wrote “panels” because this document states replacement ”panels” will be provided, not “tops”. It also doesn’t specify if those panels will be newly produced from the new tool or reworked panels.

Leaves it open for lots of wiggle room for Ford and then assumptions by us.

What do you get from a cardboard roof top
Delamination and a full product flop
Ford and Webasto think we’re all chumps
Or you could just try to .......stay .......pumped

You’ll get no
You’ll get no
You’ll get no
You’ll get no
You’ll get no ford broncos

It's Ford's design, Webasto is just the production house.

It's Ford's...

Mind if I add this to the first post?
