That’s what Ford wants you to think.Yup. The two week MAP shutdown.

I agree that shipping is possible, but expensive and difficult. Perhaps the bigger issue is that they could never catch up. The hardtops built in 2022 will need to go on 2022 production, not used to retrofit 2021.Shipping hard tops later wouldn't be as troublesome as you suggest. IF Ford chose to do that: wire the plumbing and controls now, they could ship hard tops to the dealers in bulk....not too tough or expensive.
Ross - As you have some great connections and understanding of the industry, any thoughts as to the painted hard tops and when they might start production? Thanks for sharing all of the information and insights.There will be plenty of 2021 Broncos with hard tops. There will be more 2021 Broncos with soft tops.
Quality issues have been resolved. Production issues haven't.
This wholly depends on if and how quickly they can get this purported new supplier up and running for them.Ross - As you have some great connections and understanding of the industry, any thoughts as to the painted hard tops and when they might start production?

That all makes sense. Hopefully the extra attention, manpower and funding helps them get the process and production numbers for the tops up sooner than later. Thanks.This wholly depends on if and how quickly they can get this purported new supplier up and running for them.
Not to yell "fire" in this very crowded theater, but I wouldn't be shocked if we didn't see them in appreciable quantity until mid MY22, perhaps as a Job2 addition.
IF they get things moving at Webasto and want to try them there, they could be out sooner but likely in piss poor quantities.
You got it. No on reads anything on here and just makes their own shit up. Then people believe what they read on here no matter how inaccurate it isYup. The two week MAP shutdown.
At what was a 5 % soft top take rate ( 125k @ 5 % =6.3K ). sounds like a lot of stock Broncos with soft tops for MY21.There will be plenty of 2021 Broncos with hard tops. There will be more 2021 Broncos with soft tops.
