I don’t want to worry 2DR buyers but this doesn’t look good.

Not as bad as it appears, not great. Etching in the glass and misaligned latches have been consistent issues with some tops from Webasto.

Decidedly concerning that units were paired with bad tops during production. More concerning that several units have been delivered with these issues.

I expect some adjustments when the plant starts cranking again on Monday. Brass is fully aware now and the magnifying glasses are out.

FWIW my MIC hard top is flawless, and she went thru her first car wash yesterday just to check the seals. It's a GREAT design that unfortunately got sent to a crappy vendor.
If it's not too much trouble, could you post some closeups of yours of the areas people have been complaining of?

So I just linked to "1five1 garage" and they posted a video 4 weeks ago with a.....wait for it....

a 2 door Badlands Bronco with a soft top...link below...the next shoe to drop is...they make one so why not offer it...

A large majority of the 2 doors that were going around to dealerships to view had the aftermarket fastback soft tops. My dealer had a 2 door cyber orange for a couple days with the same top. They were laughing saying we can’t even see one with a factory top it so bad.

If anyone around Philly / NJ wants to see - Fullerton has the 2 door MIC I posted photos of yesterday on this thread. Reposted below. I didn’t look super closely, but the exterior shell looked fine, but the inner areas by the side windows were marred and thrashed. I would imagine some other inner exposed areas may be similar quality. Kind of makes you wonder why they decided to cloak them in sound deadening straight from the factory. Because the interior side where they pulled it from the mold may look pretty trashed in some nooks and crannies. Could be hiding some blemishes.

This was a demo.

Why don’t ford just take controlle of webasto or just cut ties all together seems like evryone that works at webasto does not know how to make a decent hard top

No worried at all. My 2dr build date was moved up to 7/20 about a week ago.

I have accepted that I'm not getting my 2-door this year. I'm trying to be positive and hope all the PCM reprograms and bugs will get worked out before then.

It doesn’t even make sense. I’m not saying the OP is incorrect. Merely saying I don’t know how this would work out long run.
