No, because it is just pure speculation at this point.and you see nothing wrong with moisture getting to the cardboard?
What is speculation exactly? The cracks are there, fact. The interior of MIC is cardboard, fact. Cardboard doesn't like to get wet, fact.No, because it is just pure speculation at this point.
Well, despite the herculean efforts of Ford QC, a few good tops are bound to slip through....For what it's worth I tap tested as much of my mic top as I could reach and didn't hear any de-lams. Edges looked good. Melting snow and pressure water rinse didn't see any evidence of leakage.
Nope, that’s not it!No, the Z4 Coupe is better looking because the rear duck bill on the roadster's deck lid is not present. The hard roof sheetmetal and rear hatch drastically improves the overall look.
The front facia is still not as pleasing to look at as I'd like, but combined with the hard roof and hatch the overall look of the car brings out the good lines of the hood and fenders.
Um... stating the word "fact" and it being a real fact is not how it works. Since none of us are exactly familiar with the overall engineering and specifically the waterproof-ness of the interior structure of the MIC panels, none of us can make a "statement of fact" water will damage the top.What is speculation exactly?

Look, if that shit is acceptable to you on a vehicle that's upwards of $50k+ to some of us that's cool but for many of us we see the issue and know what's going to happen down the road. It's not even just the fact that it's going to crumble apart down the road but the fact it looks like shit straight from the factory. The tops will not hold up for years, period.
LOL.Nope, that’s not it!
there have literally been breakdowns of the MICs posted here by Ford employees that are dismantling the MIC 1.0...We know exactly what materials were used on the internal construction of the tops. On what planet does cardboard hold up to moisture?Um... stating the word "fact" and it being a real fact is not how it works.

Testing your "facts" and having the test data would be nice.
Thanks Chris for posting.I received my Bronco a couple days ago with a 2.0 MIC (built 10/25). Thanks to this forum I knew what to look for. Most of the edges looked good except for one vertical seem on the corner that had some delaminating. The dealer and I both took pictures, documented the issue in my signed paperwork and I was on my way.
After letting the top dry out I applied some epoxy to the seem and was happy with the results. The dealership is following up with Ford's Regional Sales Rep after the holiday weekend but I'm not even sure I want a replacement. We'll see what he/she says.

Can you also post a pic of after ? just for comparing ?
Thanks a lot
Nice job 4xFord! Makes you wonder why Webasto can't do something like that.Post pic as requested. Also added it to my original post.
