Sorry to see that, OP. Unfortunately the more I see posts like this, the more I think I made the right choice switching to a soft top. I’ll buy a hard top once they figure it out, or when the aftermarket does.

How this shit passes QC is beyond me...
This is 100% the reason I switched from hard to soft top. I'll pay the extra $$ when a legit hard top comes out.

Yes mine is the same. The rubber seals were glued on by a monkey. Went looking for the cause of the horrible wind noise and found this and more.

Something important I figured out a long time ago: don't buy a hardtop yet. Wait for a modular one. They are cranking out these MIC ones and they have always had problems. Get a softtop, retro-fit a hardtop later....it's a convertible afterall.

Looks like my MY22 Hard top will be a MY24 Soft Top when I give up on the idea Ford is going to fix this

You will not be disappointed with a soft top. Mine is quiet up or down, easy to use, and does not leak.

Throughout this utter disaster of a launch, I've stood by. "The later mine arrives, the more likely that the numerous issues will be fixed," I told myself.

But this really gives me pause. I was planning on parking mine outside, and I live in South Florida, where there is a torrential downpour almost daily during the summer months – half the year. If the top is going to leak like a sieve, it's going to get ruined.

Just curious when did you take delivery of your Bronco? Is this MIC 1.0?

Everyone change your orders from MIC to soft tops, thank you!

really unfortunate for Bronco buyers. Paying so much for a car and deal with this headache.
I plan to order mine in a beginning of the new year and I have to have a hardtop. I wonder if wranglers top will fit ;)

The interior reminds me of this

I would squirter some expanding foam in the gaps till a fix comes

😐 at this point I need to just close my eyes because all I am reading is reasons to sell my 2DR that’s on the way
You’d regret that one. I don’t know if I have this problem with my MIC, but even if I had every single problem ever connected to a MIC top, it’s still the only vehicle out there that I would buy.

I haven't done a flashlight test (on this car or others) but my 2 door doesn't seem to have the gaps yours does. No leaks to date and no dramatic wind noise.

Maybe I am lucky, but it meets my expectations for utility and aesthetics.

Canceling your order or changing it to a soft top if you really don't want one, seems like an overreaction.
