Less that 5,000 miles and my hardtop is already failing

[ac360]

I've been on that road a few times, though not for many years now. Never had a problem with vibration causing damage to my old camper shell, which wasn't even rated for off-road use. Sheesh... glad I'm not getting the MIC top.

Not what I was expecting either having had no issue with the MIC top for 2 years until now. Will inquire with my local dealer on warranty at my next oil change appointment.

My understanding is the 2024+ painted hard tops are the new manufacturer. They also have a white interior finish with sound deadening.

You sure? That Bronco was already white to begin with...

EDIT:
Yep, you're 100% correct.
Here is a picture of a Shelter Green Raptor w/ painted top.

The white interior on the painted tops is such a strange choice. I like the darker MIC top interior visually but the quality is terrible.

Not really as this is the way it is with Jeep painted and textured black hard tops and it wouldn't surprise me if the MOD top is made for Ford by the same manufacturer.

Man too bad those painted tops cost a fortune to just buy outright. Would have been nice if ford just used what jeeps been using forever.

I had the white roof interior on my JK and I ended up painting it. Felt like I was riding around in the inside of a fridge

Or an Igloo cooler. Got used to it though.

Remember, the company Ford contracted these hard tops to won a design award for their innovative use of cardboard.

"German Engineering"

I like the white & black, looks great in my opinion.

For those who have had the hardtops replaced, how long was the process?

My local dealer ordered the top and brought my bronco back in once they've received the top, but now Im on week 3 of waiting lol. Last update I've heard was they had to order more parts and schedule a glass guy.

1 day in most cases. Depends on the dealer.

Not covered by an extended warranty? Not even Ford Premium Care?

As the warranty on the top expires at 36kmi even if you bought an extended warranty, what is the practical impact of these cracks on hard top lifetime?

Nope.

Nope. Tells you how much Ford trusts their product. Most premium care products don't cover body panels, trim, and accessories

That's funny, my S4 may be the cheapest car I've ever owned. That thing has been bulletproof.

Same story but on our VW's.
