MIC top gasket … melting at 79F? Resolved: Just excessive adhesive.

[Wark]

This is as it relates to the 2022 Bronco MIC 2.0 hardtop.

We had the warmest and sunniest day here yet in upstate NY last week, with 79F and direct sun all afternoon. I went to pull my front two off and was surprised by a melting sticky mess. Some of the rubber gusset on the top started to melt. It happened with both front panels.

Anyone else see this? I would leave my windows cracked to avoid excess heat buildup, except that we get rain way more often than sun here.

Well that sucks but in the picture it looks more like adhesive melting vs. the seal itself. Mine sat in the 90deg heat with top off fully exposed to the sun the entire day over the weekend w/o issue.

That looks like the adhesive used to glue the seal in place. I have some excess by drivers side my A pillar I need to remove. We have been near 100 already here in Dallas and no issues with the seals.

Yeah, it's not melting.... That's just left over Assembly line gunk. I have it too

Like said it’s definitely the adhesive. I had a mess to cleanup on mine. Got it all over the paint first time I took panels off and that was in November.

Hi there. Can you send us a DM with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into this on my end.

Thanks e1 for the responses. It eased my mind a little with it being adhesive only and not the actual
