My soft top is starting to fall apart.

I do agree that the lack of a black interior option across the trims was disappointing . . . the interior did bother me and cause me to think about going Badlands for a while - but my 5' lady said we had to have side steps! - but once I saw the WT leather in person I really liked it and it set my mind at ease . . . still would prefer all black, but this is a worthy compromise.My biggest complaint from the beginning, and still is, the ridiculous limitations on interior color options by model. Why the hell can’t I order a black interior on an OBX when Ford clearly designed that model to be their “luxury” model? Everything is built on the same line. It makes no sense to not just offer all four interior colors (or whatever it is) on all models and then just reserve the leather seating options on higher end models if that’s something they want to do. Not being able to get a basic black interior on every model is dumb.
There are a couple TSBs on this. You can make it better but not perfect. I fixed it after my dealer gave it a shitty attempt.The frameless windows. After 5k miles I think I love everything about this vehicle except how the windows catch every freaking time I open the doors. Feel like I’m going to break them if I open too fast.
Other than that, it’s the perfect vehicle. 4 door 2.7 base Sasquatch, hard top, I wouldn’t order it any other way.
Warranty is your friend...My MIC top squeaks like a pig! Pisses me off. Other than that...love it!
I ended up going with the "block"/navy cloth interior on the OBX and installing black Katzkin leather aftermarket. Pro with going this route was the price is roughly the same as factory MGV/leather and I got the cooled/heated seat option. Negative with going this route was no power seats and no rear seat middle armrest/cup holders (when I ordered). My understanding now is that about a month after my build date (late January), Ford caved and started including the rear folding arm rest/cup holders setup with the cloth interior option as well and it's no longer just limited to MGV/leather.I do agree that the lack of a black interior option across the trims was disappointing . . . the interior did bother me and cause me to think about going Badlands for a while - but my 5' lady said we had to have side steps! - but once I saw the WT leather in person I really liked it and it set my mind at ease . . . still would prefer all black, but this is a worthy compromise.
I had downsized from raptor as well! Definitely smaller seating than an f150. Central storage compartment drives me nuts, tiny and no manual was included with mine as it’s built into the 12” screen. Hopefully I have power if anything ever goes down to figure out which fuse does what.Hardtop noisy(even with soundproofing) compared to Raptor. no driver seat memory or AC seats
Really wish it had the gear display and lockout like my raptor. Gas mileage 16.3 on raptor, bronco 17.6.I had downsized from raptor as well! Definitely smaller seating than an f150.

Compared to my raptor, I love the car Wash. Seems easier to dry As I no longer have to climb into the bed to get the window.
It gets better mileage which is great.
I selected the roof rack to go with the hard top. It somewhat gets in the way when removing the panels.
Sound is meh…definitely miss the quality of sound from my raptor. Need a new solution here.
Interior lighting is blah so I may try the mods that I see here.
Granted it’s my car but I miss memory settings as I know my wife and kid will eventually drive it. I also miss how the speedometer and gauges read/looked in the f150. Bronco to me, the gauges are just goofy layout
Spastic auto high beams and no rain sensing wipers. I love this truck and have no regrets. I have owned three jeeps and couldn’t be happier with my Bronco.I got my build date today so I'm expecting to receive my Bronco in July, but I was wondering for those that already had theirs what your biggest issue with the Bronco is. I'm admittedly a filthy offroading casual (I got the BB/midpackage and it's really just going to be my daily driver with occasional offroading) but I was thinking about what mods (mostly interior) I wanted to go for
