Sacrifices are made to make a product and a crapload of money. Been wearing masks inside a nuclear plant in TN since March. 12hr shifts 4 on 1 off for awhile. They can do it if they like getting paid.You say that until mandatory 12hrs and 7 days a week with masks on in the middle of summer
Generally speaking contract have outs for "acts of god"Hopefully Ford had some performance guarantees written into the contract of the vendor(s) supplying the tops. We're ten months into COVID - and a lot longer in the Bronco's development cycle- so one would think the suppliers should've been able to plan better for this.
This is a shortsighted reaction. Sure, they should have. But they didn't. What's your next best alternative?Hopefully Ford had some performance guarantees written into the contract of the vendor(s) supplying the tops.

From a global manufacturing standpoint, and that the Bronco has been in development for 3+ years, a change of 3 months is inconsequential.
I tried searching the forum yesterday regarding this and It was insane... sending me all sorts of tangents. I thought I saw in one of the Q&As that soft tops on 2 doors will be in 2022 or was it never?? lolI'm sure I can't be the only 2 door buyer who doesn't even want a hard top...
Create a new Trim level called Bare Bones and ship it without Wheels, Tires, Interior, Top and whatever else. I'll take it from there.just send me the bronco as is and send me the top later.
Have you seen how delayed Teslas are?Is there no way for Ford to get HTs produced through a different company? With all those people out of work, I would think there'd be a way to make the tops here in the US. I mean if Tesla can building a space rocket!!!!

Tragically ironic, as I would have taken pink with purple polka dots as my MIC hard top color.Apparnetly the reason for the delay is the color of MIC pellets the chinese top manufacturer produced. Ford order 5M pounds of gray pellets for gray MIC tops. They were delivered 5M pounds of black pellets for black MIC tops....so Ford had them return all of that because they did not want to make black MIC tops.
you get the MID package..... heated seatsNooo way. I am shocked I tell you. Shocked.
Who needs a top anyways when you have the MGV seats and rubberized drain floors? ?
What about when it’s cold outside? Wear a jacket. Be an Eskimo.
