This is above the driver side. Really visible in the light. Looks like a botched repair? I can’t clean it off or hide it with anything.

Its REALLY hard to polish/buff out plastic. I would make a warranty claim and only worry about fixing the top if the warranty claim is denied.

Up close it looks just like slight discoloration that’s made more pronounced in the light. I may try some different cleaner and then take it to my dealer. Rest of the top looks fairly good, though there are a few dimples even in the new version it seems.Its REALLY hard to polish/buff out plastic.

The photo makes it look as if the texture is different in the troubled area. Do you notice any texture difference or is it just discoloration?
I just paid about $700 to have my paint corrected (touched up) on my Ranger for trade in and even the pro's couldn't fix the plastic trim pieces with some slight scuffing. Thought I would pass that on. I'm about to pick up my MIC 2.0 Bronco any day now and I'm nervous.Up close it looks just like slight discoloration that’s made more pronounced in the light.

yeah I wouldn’t be too bothered if it was on top but this is right on the edge at my face staring at me every time I get in it haha.Mine has some spots and scuffs like that but they were all on the top of MIC 2.0 so I wasn't going to say anything about it. I can't see it from the ground. I would take some pics but its raining pretty good today.
It’s fiberglass. With paint on it . Or at least my FE hardtop is. I say paint because I have a scratch on mine. I have cut edges on mine and it doesn’t appear to be MOLD IN COLOR either. As the color does not goes all the way thru as plastic would .Its REALLY hard to polish/buff out plastic.

Seems to be paint on outside layer and white underneath any scratches reveal a white coloration and stand out terribly.It’s fiberglass. With paint on it . Or at least my FE hardtop is.

so this picture is I believe the same top panel as the one he is posting
yes, I am terribly disappointed in the quality of this top. I hope 3.0 is fixed and I hope the folks responsible for the poor craftsmanship are held accountable and I hope I get a new top.Seems to be paint on outside layer and white underneath any scratches reveal a white coloration and stand out terribly.
