My salesman already hates me. Once I inspect the car, he’s REALLY gonna hate me. I plan to pull off every panel and inspect every square inch. All edges, surfaces, seals, seems, fit, etc. (and that’s just the roof). With the intent on claiming any and all of it before I take possession.

What good will that do, they can't fix any of it.

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

Has anybody actually done this?

So that it’s documented in the event that they can’t fix it, and I don’t get stuck with it

Why would you get stuck with it? Its a known issue, its not like you have a dent or scratch the dealer can claim it wasn't like that when it left the lot.

Delamination of the hard top inside of 3 weeks has no other plausible excuse, I guess unless you listen to some folks on here and put wax on it.

Dealing with dealers, the hours wasted telling NO to the finance guy...do you really thing adding more time to do a cavity inspection on just the top is actually going to make the difference between you being on the hook or not?

I think better time would be spent inspecting the rest of the vehicle, And maybe glancing at the top for any blatant issues.

Not saying don't do it...totally up to you. I just worry that folks are going to think if they miss a single flaw in the car, that Ford is going to blow them off and they are on their own.

I don’t doubt warranty will cover it. But I don’t like the idea of driving around with a brand new damaged bronco. Hoping the sooner it’s found, the sooner it gets fixed. And if it turns out to be a lemon I’d like to start documenting ASAP. I can see one of these leaking issues leading to a lemon law claim.

The fact that Ford didn't decide to reach out to order holders and ask if they wanted to change to just a soft top blows my mind. Or just have some fall back plan

Yeah, call it first world problems when the top on your $50k+ brand new vehicle starts swelling from moisture and crumbles away while you wait for the dipshit company that screwed up that top to give you a new one that might be worse.

This is unacceptable and these tops should be 100% perfect out of the factory. No swells, scratches, delamination, snakeskinning...none of it. The more of this garbage I see the more I think I want to push my order to a 2022 and hope these morons find some competence or get their shit together in a few extra months.

This is beyond ridiculous.

1st new vehicle? All vehicles new and used have imperfections, some worse than others. I doubt anyone is going to get a perfect top because plastic has scratches and imperfections…just how it is. I’m with you on swelling, moisture issues, etc. but you won’t get a perfect top.

nope, but it will be the most expensive vehicle I've bought and have made sacrifices in order to get it. I want it right and there's nothing wrong with that. If folks are willing to accept mediocre craftsmanship on their vehicle, cool. I am not one of those people. It doesn't have to be a flawless Lambo but it's going to be right or made right if I don't like it.
