Well, if they warranty it maybe they'll let you keep that top. Could be a perfect opportunity to experiment with some white paint without fear of ruining everything.

What are you going to do, refuse delivery? Any obvious defects will be covered under warranty regardless if you see them at the dealership or a week later.

You wouldn't believe the shit sales people push past a customer.
That's why they crowd you while you're looking over your ride.
That's why they WON't willingly go to lunch or leave the customer alone.
I've witnessed it happen, for the sole intent of pushiing something past the buyer BEFORE the paperwork is signed.

Also, at the Chicago Auto Show yesterday I noted some pretty rough verticle edges, the trailing edge of the side glass on an FE 2dr they had on display outside. Passenger side.
Drivers side was properly rounded over/radiused/finished.

Delamination is going to be a real concern for those of us with MIC tops.
Non-Pro Tip: Inspect the hell out of your roof before taking delivery and insist on a warranty claim or repair agreement before driving off the lot… and get it in writing!

Not yet- just picked it up Friday. To be honest didn't notice at delivery. There is probably 15' of that edge and most of it looks good. Just didn't pick it up in the sunlight. Not worried.

So thankful to you early guys for sharing your experiences with these tops.

Think it clearly illustrates why the rest of us need to be patient. Great benefit to guys like you to get your rigs now and get to enjoy some wheeling before those tops become bad issues.

This thread and some others are a real service to the Bronco community. Ford and Wabasto (I guess) can improve their processes with these experiences and posts.

Cheers to you!

Sharpie should fix that But in all seriousness, that's not ok. And if that's the reason mine is still sitting "in production " at MAP, I'm glad it's still there waiting for a new roof.

Yes, get it documented and an agreement before taking delivery and driving it off the lot.

Maybe but I'd rather not start out with defects. One reason for my interest in a new vehicle, is to not have the issues and hassles of my older vehicles.

That open hardtop edge near the rear wiper will be trouble over time. Normally I'd pump some clear or black silicone caulk into that edge to seal it - sooner rather than later to keep out water and the elements. But not sure if the owner wants to mess with that given warranty issues.

Yup. There’s no way in hell that material is going to stand up to hot humid Florida weather. I give it a year before it starts coming apart.
Ive seen decent carbon fiber fail in short time. And I wouldn’t rank this up there with those.

Well scrap my hope it was just early deliveries

No, that's how Ford designed it... it's supposed to be that way. My dealer told me so.... LOL.

Oof.

I'm not picturing the exact location of this shot.

Looks like OSB. Seems to be above the rear window
