Bad news about MIC 2.0 quality after a few days

[Broncodave]

Well I’ve had my gladiator for two years. I’ve removed and reinstalled the panels numerous times. Not a scratch, rough edge, delaminated area, crack, scratch, honeycomb, etc on it. It looks brand spanking new.

I've got no manufacturer allegiances. I'd happily take a Ford with a Jeep top!

Why are you guys so willing to accept a shitty product for what we are paying these broncos should be perfect

This lol. It’s pathetic the amount of excuses people make for shit product on here. It very disappointing that jeep has the more dependable product at the moment and fiat is garbage.

Does anyone have comparison photos between MIC 1.0 and 2.0?

These look exactly the same to me?

 

[Broncodave]

fiat is garbage

That's true, but their owners take these insults very personally.

That ain't good. We'll be finding out more about this possible issue as the Pacific NW Broncos roll in and spend the season here. It's October...

Yep. I am down here in Oregon...lots of water and freezing this Winter. I have a 2 door MIC on order. With this issue repeating it self....hell....I doubt I see it anytime in 2022 now.

WHAT I DON'T GET: The Broncos with MIC tops have been in testing for at least 3 years (probably longer). IS FORD REALLY GOING TO SAY THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT POPPED UP DURING R&D AND TESTING FOR MONTHS IF NOT YEARS???????????????????????????????????????????????

My build date was 6/25/21 on a 2 door and the top was in great shape at delivery and still is today. I feel so bad for those just getting their rides now with the top not fixed. This makes me nervous about replacing mine at this point. If and when the replacement comes in, I will see if they can keep it outside for sometime to see what the winter rain/snow/sleet does to it before I have it replaced.

why don't they just paint these things and just move on from this debacle....white, black and body color...can't be any more of a hassle than this.

OP, you need to start a poll, I think we are only talking about a small number of tops. Please put some numbers with it!

I am not sure it matters in the numbers. Ford quality checks out the door is missing these. A few here a few there...it's NOT acceptable. It just isn't. Someone will end up with these inferior tops...it could be you, me or him and her. If I got one after paying $50K for a new vehicle...I would be livid!!!! This needs to get fixed once and for all. I have waited 16 months now....I see no real hope of getting a Bronco now in 2022. Unless something changes.....the bubble burst a long time ago. I was so excited. Not so much anymore.

Please keep in mind that anything you do to ”fix this issue” could be used to deny a warranty claim. Let Ford deal with this.

Webasto be like

Webastos not that organized!

We are barking up the same tree here Bud, if this issue is small then I don’t want to wait any longer either. But I would rather have my rig and wait on a warranty repair than wait another 25 years for my Bronco. I hate that some are still having issues but some of us don’t have build date’s for our day one reservations.

The MAP crew got a little carried away with the adhesive when installing the glass in my new hardtop.

I know some people have wrapped their tops, just curious if that would work too...never wrapped anything (well when I was single) so don't know if it would work or not.

I decorate my brick house every year with Christmas lights up the corners attached usually with duck tape, I tried Gorilla brand but it is too thick and does not stick to the bricks as well, but two years ago I tried Flex Seal brand tape and I have yet to be able to remove all the tape from the house - it blends in and makes a good attachment point for the new tape going up before Thanksgiving.

Hay if you’re ok with Flex Tape holding your too together that’s great. I'm not ok with that. I don't know one Wrangler owner that needs tape to their brand-new top together. Just running your top through the carwash will start to effect and fray the tape. Using tape for X-Mas lights is one thing, but daily driving your Bronco with tape holding or sealing your top is not in the same ballpark. I get it I want my Bronco just as bad as anyone “5am day 2 res”. All I want is for Ford to come up with a solution and be clear about what that solution is. “IDK” Maybe send out the Broncos with the tops and replace them down the road when they get this all figured out. But don’t tell me it’s fixed when it’s clearly not fixed. But it all good you do you

I shall take a look and post if so.
