Second time posting on here, but have been following this forum throughout my 2 year journey with the ordering process as many, many of you guys have and with my order just getting shipped a problem as come up and figured I'd see what you all have to say/do in this situation.
I originally had an early reservation, not day 1 but relatively early, as the wait continued I canceled the reservation and decided to keep my current car, which I love. So time passed and I keep catching myself on this forum or the Ford Bronco built website, so in January of this year, I decided to reorder. After hearing all the delays with the hardtop I placed my INITIAL order with a soft-top w/prep kit. I then, 7-10 days later I texted my agent and request to change my order to a hardtop MIC, which he replied, the next day confirming the order had been changed. All is good, checking in once a month, no update.
Fast forward to first week of August, I request the built sheet to confirm everything is good to go, just had a feeling it would happen towards the end of the year and hell I wanted to make sure everything was good. I noticed it still had the soft-top on the built sheet, which then I stated that we had changed that to a hard-top which he reconfirmed that it was on the built-sheet but they had changed it in the Ford Ordering system. Okay, fine... seems logical enough to me.
Today, I received the assembly line photo, and to my surprise theres a soft-top.
I have already done a good bit of research on different hard-tops prior and seems like ADV is the only one remotely close to achieve something. Seeing people on here quoting $5-10K from Ford. Like I said ADV has one for $5-7K, but thats gonna be awhile. Highly doubt the dealership can order one to fix this error on their part. Can't really re-order a bronco and wait another 2-3 years for delivery since I am giving my current car to my brother who is turning 16 very soon.
All suggestions would be helpful. Yes, the most obvious is just keep the soft-top, which I will, but ultimately I want a hard-top, and I don't want to be screwed on a $1K option from the factory to thousands on something that was not my fault.
