I thought I would share this. When I took delivery on my Bronco Big Bend, I noticed a stray bit of plastic in the cargo area. Didn't think to much about it until I went to take the top down for the first time. I notice that one of the clips for the side window was missing. The half that's attached to the top. That was what the random bit of plastic was. Took it to the dealer for warranty work. I thought, OK, just a bit of plastic that can be snapped back into place. Nope! They are ordering a whole new top, which he said cost $3250 plus labor if it wasn't under warranty. Crazy stuff for a little piece of plastic.

That's gotta be like a 10¢ part...

I'd hoped the side panels could be purchased separately but perhaps not.
Hopefully eventually but he seems to be referring to one of the clips on the top side that connects to the window piece.

That’s not unusual on a new production model without a supply of parts to back it up. It’s just easier to send the whole piece.

Well Webasto who makes the soft top as well, is probably putting it's extra talent and time into MIC 2.0 soft top parts are not a priority. Early adopter issue, not great, but I knew there are good and bad that comes with being one.

Another reason to leave the bronco unlocked so some idiot doesn't slash your top to get inside. Thats a bit steep $ wise though. Id just go bestop soft top and be done.

Thieves are too stupid for that or just won't care. They'll slash an unlocked vehicle as well.

" We had our top cut about 1.5 years ago. Doors were unlocked but they still cut the top. "
