I'm no longer concerning myself with the MIC top quality. My plan is to take it off as soon as my 2-Door shows up. I'll get a soft top from whomever sells one for the 2-door and be done with the Webasto fiasco.

I think with some plastidip, some sounds deadening material, and a little work, the tops will work out.......maybe.

I'm not sure plastidip is the answer but if the first couple model years get stuck with crappy tops and Ford refuses to take care of it, there's certainly ways we can make these look good and hold up better. We shouldn't have to fix them ourselves but I see it coming down to that unless you give up on MIC and buy aftermarket.

So....how long until we actually see a legitimate aftermarket hardtop for sale and how much should we expect to pay?

Over the weekend I went to my dealer and re-ordered for MY22. Only change I made was from MIC to soft top now standard on WT. All along all I have wanted is a body color matching top. Hoping Ford or maybe aftermarket offers that sometime in the near future.

If done right it will seal it all up, and then thick enough will protect.

It's just not permanent enough for my taste. There's other coatings that should be more durable.

I live in the snow belt, and work at Ghetto fire houses throughout the city. Soft tops aren't an option, there a invite to get cut on, and shit stolen.

They offer the roof in navy pier color combo? Nice.

They won't look or work well after a few months of water and freezing temps or water and humidity unfortunately. Having dealt with jeep hard tops for years I can tell you it becomes a nightmare to accept leaks and water collecting on floor day to day. The musty smell gets old.

Considering that 1) you have no idea whether the bolded is true or not and 2) these edges have nothing to do with how the roof's seals to the inside of the vehicle work...I'm dubious about this being an actual problem rather than purely baseless conjecture.

I’m starting to believe that having to wait 3 year to get my Bronco is quite fortunate. Perhaps by then, they will work out the bugs. But, most likely not. I guess we are all enablers: standing in line to give them our money no matter what they produce. There really isn’t any incentive for them to get their act together…..

Im sure after enough of them are out, it will end up as a re-call or if not a class action. So there will be an incentive at some point for ford.

I think the Bronco 6.1G needs to include a model with an fixed hardtop, moon roof and rear roll down tailgate window, aka the 4runner. I test drove a 2021 TRD Off Road trim with the windows down, moon roof retracted and dropped the rear window down. It was close enough to a hard safari top for me. I know its a dinosaur in terms of tech but this is just clown shoe stupid on Ford.

My old 2003 expedition had molded in color panels on the door. They looked just like that. You would think they would have learned a lesson back then. The dealer ended up taking them off and painting them to match the color of the car. What did your dealer say when you pointed out the color mismatch?

@snownow

Someone else posted that a few pages back. Not mine.
