Actually, there could be something to this. I would take a VERY close look at the structure of each of the panels and see if there's any difference between the one outlier and the other pieces. You may be trading a structurally superior piece for an inferior, but color-matched, piece.
You sound the service writer... fishing for the OP to say he used a dirty microfiber brush to wash it. lol
That sounds like the same nonsense Ford told me about my (at the time) 4 year old Expedition that had severe bubbling and flaked off paint on my hood and decklid. They said if their was no perforation or penetration then it was not covered by the 5 year paint warranty. What a crock of crap. I was livid at the time. I ended spending several grand of my own money to have the hood and decklid treated and repainted. I still say keep fighting it, but I am not sure how far it can go up.So here is the latest. I got an email from Ford today that basically said that it is up to the dealer to decide if the top has any defective issues. I am so done with Ford and this truck. I have always loved the Bronco from back in the OJ days and beyond and when they came out with these vehicles, I felt that I had to have one. Now after this experience I am not sure I will ever buy another Ford again. The tone of the email was very mater of fact and they acted like I am being unreasonable? Anyone can see that this top is defective? I am attaching a copy of the email for everyone to see. I hope that this type of thing doesn't happen to any of you guys reading this. The funny thing is she talks about painting the top??? Ford certainly will not paint the top. It is comical. I am wondering if they will feel the same way when my attorney speaks with them?
