Howdy all, just traded softop (off my rig 19,000 miles) for a hardtop (his rig 400 miles) with another gentleman. Have had it out in the sun 3 days max and now I'm getting the snakeskin/honeycomb defect. Taking to the dealer to look at, am I hosed warranty wise? Have the original hardtop owner's VIN just in case.

If possible, I’m going to wait until the mod top comes out, file delaminating top claim with Ford and pay the difference for a painted mod top.

Ya mines worse than that and dealer told me Ford rejects every "snakeskin" claim they have put in recently.
Thanks for the heads up, maybe a line-x or raptor line will solve it, maybe just paint the whole thing.

Also just noticed our mic 2.0 hardtop is beginning to delaminate too. Maybe it was the summer heat but this was a nov 2021 build date. Have an appointment with dealer next week to hopefully have this warrantied and replaced also.

If you want to trade back to a soft-top, I'll make the drive over to ID and won't care about the snakeskin..... Just saying.... ;)

That sucks…. Mine is at the dealership today having the top replaced. Hopefully the new one lasts longer. The FoMoCo employees that monitor these forums were very helpful throughout the process.

Hi, were you able to do anything about these darker front panels? Any warranty claim? I just got mine hard top replaced with 2.0 and it came like yours as well. My front panels are darker and it was perfect previously. Now I kinda regret that I swap my hard top :/

I realize that this is going to be a continuing issue for owners until Ford really figures out this problem. However, if you're still under the factory warranty, I would continue to replace the top over and over to extend the warranty coverage of the top itself. I wouldn't necessarily wait until the problem is solved, until then they may tell you the top is out of warranty, especially if they're considering the MIC 2.0 top a fix at the corporate level. I'd hate for them to tell anyone to buy a new top because you're now out of warranty...

Eep! Reading this I am happy I have a soft top with no issues as of yet, and the aftermarket is coming on strong.

That Aluminum top from Armadillo is looking better and better.

I would suspect there are a lot more out there that look like this than we know. I had no idea until I actually backed into my garage and saw it from above (3 steps into my mudroom from garage). Not noticeable at eye level of course.

'22 Bronco. My clamshell started to bubble, for lack of a better term, a couple of months after delivery. Dealer ordered a replacement which arrived this week and is being installed next week. The front passenger panel has already been replaced.

My '22 is starting to do this too, ugh. Any luck with the replacement?
