Ford OEM Hardtops availability and cost?

[MNBigfoot]

I will take their one piece hard top for $3k any time of day. Removable panels serve two functions as far as I am concerned: increase cabin noise s f be a source of squeaks and leaks. If I had a viable alternative I would have never bought a Bronco due to the removable top. Almost as pointless as a moon roof in my book. Others will disagree I am sure.

No argument here, we all got them for different reasons, if one seldom or never wanted to remove their top, a one piece makes more sense. As a modular design ADV is lacking.

They told me it would not arrive within the 2023 year

They lied, I denied the switch and my build date came 3 days later.

Yep, I watched a bunch but until I received my Bronco I didn't chime in! Ford really mishandled this roll out though Covid didn't help any. The soft top is okay around town but for highway driving or if you want to lock up hunting gear it just is not every secure. The noise level isn't as bad as my 1968 Pontiac Firebird convertible was (they have made great strides) but you can tell on the higway....it's a convertible.

I think they were trying to smoke folks out… doing their best to keep the orders for those willing to drop it and fulfilled the ones that wouldn’t drop.

Kinda stinks still the only way to get an OEM hardtop is to overpay for a used one, or order an entire Bronco and keep that or swap the tops. Personally I'm leaning towards the 1-piece ADV Fiberglass top. I prefer the look of it, and if I swap to a hard top, its never coming off.

if they made the OEM white mod top available at a reasonable price, i seriously consider it

Honestly the giant roll cage pretty much ruins the "open air" experience for me. And the soft top doesn't even go down properly.

I'm used to a convertible which actually "converts" (see avatar)

Kinda off topic, but what’s interchangeable between the 4 door hardtop and the 2 door version?

I was always a MOD top guy so I could never get it from the factory anyway.

Under no circumstances do i want a MIC due to their quality. So I’m paying more money for Andserson but at least I can finally get an OEM style top with better quality

I think you're correct. I know Ford would lie but think they would stoop that low

I just learned something! I would’ve thought the rear hatch section and the forward overhead section would’ve been interchangeable between the two. Interesting!

No…. I ordered in Oct. ‘21 and received it in Apr. ‘22–6 months—after being told over and over to change things, including by my saleslady. I just didn’t listen. Too much money to let someone else decide what I’d be driving.

You new?

Rear window? Rear wiper?
