Dealer said Molded In Color Hardtop not availble

[GToddC5]

The MIC has been a disaster from the get go. Ford should do whatever it takes to get it right.

To be safe, I have a Bestop soft top for my 2 door, so the MIC 2.0 can early retire to the rafters until they figure it out, lol.

Greetings all,

Just back from the dealer (1-29-2022), after ordering my 4-door OBX and I was informed that Ford, for the time being, will no longer aloow orders for Broncos with the MIC, Molded In Color Hardtop on both 2 and 4 door Broncos. Evidently, FoMoCo is having major fitment issues, so that option is discontinued till Design can fix the fitment issue. I had to order mine with the soft top, or no order at all.

Yeah, yeah. Dealers say many things to compel customers to to close a sale. Ford would have sent out an email to the folks who matter: Customers.

Did you try to buy your Bronco at the Boom Boom Room?

Should have demanded the champagne room too!

Wasn't that based on info from someone at the call center and not an official Ford statement.

oh, okay...but still sounds like BS

No mic for 2 door doesn't make sense.... They don't have a softop option as far as in aware. I'm not sure this dealer is being honest with you.

I think the “300 per day” quote came from a customer service rep that got reprimanded for saying so. Everything I’ve read so far says the MIC is still in short supply. I hope I get delayed until ‘23MY, so I can get a painted modular top.

Me too, but I love my Bronco I have now so much, I don't know what I'm going to do when mod tops are available. My husband is hinting that I should look into the Everglades when it comes out.

You can make sure that happens by telling your dealer to change your priority code to 99. That preserves your order but ensures it won’t get scheduled. Then when MY23 ordering season begins have them submit a new order with a regular priority code

In theory that's correct, but has there been a formal announcement made by Ford that 99'd reservations will be automatically forwarded to MY23 as was done for MY21 to MY22? I have a second order (7/14/20 reservation) on 99 in the hopes of letting it roll into MY23 to get a MOD top (assuming it is ready by then), but haven't seen anything official yet confirming Ford will allow 99s to ride another year. For sure some orders may get pushed to MY23 for various commodity constraints like this last time around, but that is different. Please correct me if I missed an announcement, it would be good news if it has been confirmed.

On another post a man said he spoke with someone at great length on the subject and she said they were no longer suggesting people to order soft tops. My son ordered a BLs with hardtop on Tuesday and got his confirmation today, projected 15 months.

I think I'm going to just start building my EcoSport.

i started a new thread with a quote from someone at ford saying more problems with the MIC top, it was deleted less then a day later by the mods here.

Whoa, that's news to me. I've taken delivery of 2 MIC roofs so far. Now I just need my Bronco to install one, then sell the other at a handsome profit.

If I end up with a MIC, I’ll take a short term lease, then get the modular top when available. Can’t use a soft top where I live, shitty weather and no garage.

Where are you in Florida? I’m heading down to my place on Marco Island tomorrow?

 

[Fordmanbob]

I’m curious how much this is going to cost them in lost business. How many people will switch to a wrangler or buy something else instead of wait. Not a big deal as it isn’t costing anyone money right now but what happens when all of the dealers start adding the mark ups even if you ordered it over a year prior? I had to go to several dealers before I found one that wouldn’t charge market ad on.

Hell with it...I'm waiting on the MOD top. If it ever is built

It just pisses me off when I see a Jeep with a beautiful, painted hardtop. Why the hell can’t Ford get the same thing?
