I agree with you about cracks and unfinished edges. The snakeskin/honeycomb effect is cosmetic, however, and not worth the effort that goes into replacing in my view.
I didn’t see photos of your original top, the first replacement, or the second replacement. All I know is your Bronco has been at the dealer since November and you’re still expecting to wait another month. To me, it sounds like someone thinks you’re being too picky but, again, I’ve not seen any of the four tops you’ve had (so far).
There's no accurate way to determine that. Even though many have never had an issue, you'll rarely see anyone with a perfectly normal top make a post. So its obviously going to seem very skewed on here.
No it does not.
This statement is spot on. I'm one that has a good top (2022). I'm fast approaching my 3 yr warranty end date and I've gone over the top a couple of times and will one last time. Nothing. I suspect that mine happens to have a fairly uniform resin thickness over the whole top. So no cracks or snakeskin.There's no accurate way to determine that.

Some have issues, some don't
Same. Mine is also a 22 with no issues. It has some very slight rough edges where there are separate panels, but nothing to even worry about. Plus in 3 years, sitting outside 24/7, it hasn't gotten any worse.
For those of us that have went through several tops, we just want one of those mythical good ones
Completely understandable. I would too in your shoes!For those of us that have went through several tops, we just want one of those mythical good ones
Problem is the top is a key component and expensive to replace post warranty. I'm probably one of the least nitpicking persons around here, but I've got a small area of top cracking that I'm keeping an eye on, and it's a concern.
In the meantime, at a Jeep dealership across town, there are technicians trying to figure out why a customer's replacement top doesn't align on a Wrangler. Furthermore, the dealership security camera caught an outsourced contract auto parts delivery service driver laughing hilariously as he posted his TikTok video and sped away.Actually now that I think about it... It's impossible that it wont fit, or that the pin locations are different
Because you cant even order the old part number anymore, It's been replaced by the new one. So that means the original part number and the new one have to mount the exact same
Otherwise Ford would make some type of note saying something else needs to be replaced to make the new part fit.
I’m certain it will after warranty period. Cracks in much more substantial materials like fiberglass or carbon fiber continue to worsen. I don’t see how the lesser hard top material won’t.
