Would love to know what they did. Any chance you could find out or post your dealership's name?Same thing happened to me.
brought it to the dealer.
they said they fixed it, but not how.
next time it rained it didnāt leak
Plus it will be replaced hopefully before snow
I had one Freedom panel that developed the ability to fill up with water when parked uphill in the rain. Like you could hear water sloshing inside the panel. I finally found the micro crack where it was letting the water in and siliconed it.My first JEEP was a hard top (2 door JK) - leaked constantly as in this one - right over the electronics and dash. Second Rubicon was a soft top - best JEEP I owned next to my '48 Willys - but it doesn't have a top. LOL
That is if I can find one!You are going to like the soft top.
As I sit and read all the comments and issues with hard tops, the leaking issues, I have to ask are you sure it is installed correct? Latches are tight, seams lined up? They could be just what goes thru my mind. I have had my hardtop since June and I have had ZERO issues. No leaking, whistling, honeycombing nothing. I park my bronco out front of the dealership everyday so it is exposed as much as any vehicle to the weather. Being in OH that means it changes daily! Last couple of days we have had 5+ in of rain. Steady rain. Zero issues!
Maybe I am just the lucky one?
will some leak obviously we see that but the majority of top issues are cosmetic. The DM broncos (majority) will have no issues. It would be the same as sitting on a dealers lot, the back 40, precovid when excess stock sat for weeks maybe months without being moved or sold. I currently have serval vehicles thathave been on my lot for since end of June
all those DM broncos will be inspected again before they are shipped. Ford will not fix 1 problem just to ship with others. At least I would hope not!
BD has the washout interior, doesnāt it? Maybe think of the top more as āwater-resistant.āAnyone else have their MIC top leaking?
Originally the dealership tried telling me that Ford design it this way. "It has rubberized buttons and washout floors because it's going to leak"BD has the washout interior, doesnāt it? Maybe think of the top more as āwater-resistant.ā
Good thing they all have passive drains!Imagine all of the water leaking into the vehicles on dirt mountain right now...yikes
Hahahaha! See, I thought I was on to something. Unbelievable.Originally the dealership tried telling me that Ford design it this way. "It has rubberized buttons and washout floors because it's going to leak"
