My point was we dont know how the MIC tops will hold up in 45 -50 years, IPlastic roof panels do not rust in the traditional sense. The stain-less (not stainproof) fasteners might and the MIC 1.0 is being replaced partly due to environmental exposure (meaning they were only meant for indoor use, lol). When's the last time you saw rust on a 'vette or Avanti, or Fiero?
Now, to that 72 top on a 76, if there are any date codes on either piece your customer will lose concours points
I understand that the MIC tops are plastic and not metal, my point was we dont know how the plastic is going to hold up in 45-50 years due to the environment, plastic cracks, fades, scratch, ect ... what I'm saying is if you were going to restore your 2021 bronco in say 50 years you will more then likely need to replace or repair the top unless you Ethier find one that's been in storage for 50 years and it's in great shape, but really if you're wanting the value to increase on your bronco then just park in in the garage and let your grandchildren enjoy it,Plastic roof panels do not rust in the traditional sense.

In my opinion, I still do not believe that a 21 top will bring in more value unless it's in pristine shape, and I'm going on the assumption that this bronco will be driven alot and with the California sun beating down on that top, it will more than likely will start fading in due time.
