Quality control/inspection process failure.
Does the supplier (Webasto) have people in the plant installing their tops?

Did you bring it to the dealer's attention? They likely didn't even realize the defective top.

^^^ this, PDI’s at dealerships are half ass at best hope you brought it to someone’s attention

LOL “ bring it to the dealerships attention” the dealership don’t give a damn, this is one of those “if the customer doesn’t notice we’re not gonna worry about it”

LOL for sure. We've seen fist-sized dents , gouges in trucks, cars; hail damage all on new vehicles on the lot. They hoped we wouldn't notice and "oh, we'll have our body shop repair that, you'll never notice".

Makes me want to go out and check mine again. Been probably six months since I've given late 2022 a go-over. So good so far.

In regard to car dealers.... THEY"RE CAR DEALERS... (and I even had a decent one).

These are the same tops that Ford is willing to sell to you for the bargain price of only $5000. Ford should have put a stop sale on these tops years ago until Webasto got them figured out.

Well that’s partially our fault as consumers for accepting this as “normal”

Ford should have gone to the same mfg that Jeep has. I never had any problem with either of my 2 Jeeps.

But then -- I've yet to have Bronco HT problems. Maybe I got a good late-in-the-year and not a Monday or Friday top.

Wait. Webasto's still making them??????????? Are you f'ing kidding me???

This. The Jeep hardtops I've had were more or less indestructible, even through large hail.

I identified that every single one, 100 percent at 2 different dealerships, had cracks. Took pictures and posted them all. This forum barely flinched and basically said "what did you expect?"

Well -- I think you're making a couple of assumptions about the forum and what the group-think is... but everybody is entitled to their own opinion.
