I caved today, because I was able to make a build I was completely happy with while avoiding every single sin. The dealership manager said Ford only selected 6 so far out of his 100 + allocations, and they went as far down as #50 on the list to skip due to builds with sins. I’m #17 so I’m hoping this changes things for me. He said some switched to soft top, but not a lot.

Is Ford even going to have enough hard tops for the builds they’ve already scheduled?

Webasto makes the Soft Top too...
I've personally yet to see anyone post proof of this, and considering ford is also working with Bestop (the fastbacks and sunriders), AND how similar the factory soft top is to a Bestop Supertop, I'd be surprised if that were true. I'll concede if someone can show me otherwise though.

The worker from Webesto that was on here for a while said they were making them. DOn't know why he would lie.

I don't give a crap what you "concede" to, or are "surprised" about. I posted an absolute fact. Do your own research if you want proof, or just keep being wrong.

As I read all the info put out through official ford channels and the inside leakers. It's evident Ford executed an excellent promotion program. However, they are unable to deliver on there promises. They asked their perspective buyers to anti up a $100 fee to have the privlage of getting a new bronco which all of us willing did. Once they had our money, the naritive has changed. I have yet to hear even a wisper of Ford compensating us for our blind loyalty. If Ford truly cared about their customer base, they would offer an MSRP discount for those of us who blindly believed they would deliver on time. We don't want to hear their cry baby problems. They are a huge corporation. Suck it up, adapt to your enviorment and get it done! Or give me a big discount for my wait.

I get your passion for wanting the vehicle but you know its not Ford's problem solely with respect to part shortages.

I remodeled a kitchen last October and there was still a huge backorder on appliances, like 5 month backorders on a specific oven and fridge.

I was out by Long Beach, CA a month ago and there was still a huge traffic jam of container ships waiting to unload and load at the ports. I imagine that is common almost everywhere.

COVID wreaked some havoc, not only on lives.

How did you guys in Canada get your VIN? From the dealer or from FoMoCo via email? My salesguy TOLD me I have a VIN but I haven't seen it yet or heard anything from Ford.

Thanks
Dealership GM emailed my VIN. Ask your salesperson for your VIN. For 60k you are allowed to 'bother' your salesperson.

If Webasto doesn't get their shit together I wouldn't be surprised to see pichforks and torches in front of their building. Those idiots are going to push alot of us 7/13-14 folks into 22MY because they can't pump out anything. They SERIOUSLY need to get their shit together.
Webasto's beefing up their legal team. Anticipating legal action? Also anticipating lots of foreign hires.

A good lawyer can get you out of a contract, there are so many reasons, failure to produce, failure to deliver, quality failures, quanity failures, etc.

Lets just hope Ford was smart and they have invested in another supplier so they are not sole source. In fact, maybe they already have and are leaving the MIC tops with Webasto and the new supplier is working on the mod tops.

FYI, the factory soft top doesn't impress me much. Another aftermarket company(I don't want to say who yet) is making a soft top and their's is much, much nicer than the factory top. I would wait and buy a soft top from the aftermarket biz if that's what I was after.

4-door only, or 2-door also?
