Bronco Hard Top 2.0 Cracking

[atthewmay]

The frigid MT weather has tested the hard top, with the top starting to fail. Ill have to ride it out this winter and hope that warranty will cover it

Is yours failing in the same spot?

Didn’t know you could wrap the MIC hard tops. Interested to see how yours turns out! What color are you wrapping it? What kind of prep work is going to be required?

Wrapped it in white and prep was simply washing and then wiping down with rubbing alcohol. Thanks to @BudgetBronco for the video on how to. It looks good from a distance, but the top and corners are sort of tough to smooth. For $200 and my first time it's not to bad.

See post to Stu10. Not bad and replaces my imperfections over FORDs

Gosh, so sorry to hear of top issues that folks are having. Glad I switched to soft top in May 2021, which also got me my Bronco 1-2 years sooner (at MSRP).

I read through all of this and I didn't see for sure but is this only on 2 door models? Anybody having the issues on 4 doors? I don't have mine yet so I am curious as to which ones are affected. 2 years, 2 months waiting..........

Added Bronco Bucking script today. I kinda like it better than the soon to be released REAL Heritage.

I have a 2DR, bought the soft top for it last summer. After removing the hard top, which is hanging in my garage, I doubt I will ever put it back on. It's just so fragile and taking the soft top on an off is no simple task. Ford should have made the soft top standard and sold the hard top as an option. I feel like I wasted my money on the hard top.

I also received my Bronco in late September and just realized this today. I've only hand-washed until last night, then I went for a TOUCHLESS car wash. I have a hard time believing a touchless car wash had anything to do with this, but I'm surprised I did not catch the cracking sooner. I will be placing a warranty claim asap.

I just noticed my front passenger roof panel has started to crack. did anyone claim a warranty yet? I always garage this thing

Are you all keeping your Bronco outside or in a garage? If outside, what’s your climate like? Do you think this is why looks like hardtops aren’t available now, because Ford is still having these issues?

Mine was warrantied and replaced in less than a month.

I keep mine outside, and I am on Long Island, NY. Hasn't been too cold yet here and it only made it 2 months before cracking.

Jeez, now we have to be watching the roof now? I thought it was just cracking around the sides.

Hi there, I'd be happy to look into your Bronco concerns on my end. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into things on my end.
