Torrential downpour and MIC 2.0

[WuNgUn]

So had this shit blow thru over night...

Could not see ANY water on the inside!
On my drive to work however, I noticed a few drops of water land on the inside of the rear window....

Have you removed the top since you got it? My dad is one of those old heads that thinks if you remove t-tops or any kind of roof it automatically leaks afterward. He won't remove the top to his Vette so the first thing I do when I get it for a year while family is in Thailand is pull the top off. It's sitting in garage now topless, lol.

Interesting how the first thing you do when your father trusts you with his corvette is betray that trust

I think this might be the fastest left turn of a thread ever.

It’s a Bronco. A few drops will be ok.

Maybe check the rear window seal for dust just the same and keep an eye on it. Also check the floor / carpet in the back in case it needs to be dried.

Rain stopped... Now we have wind! Up to 90km/h gusts

I had no issues while driving in the rain, but it rained when it was parked at work... I believe a little puddled on the roof. As soon as I started moving forward, it started dripping at my aux switches

I feel like I have the same storm going thru on the left coast right now. Lol Mind you, all it does here is storm lately.

I think that part of the charm and uniqueness of owning a bronco or jeep or any convertible off road vehicle is that your going to get wet, dirty or, otherwise uncomfortable because you are able to go somewhere your wife’s Lexus can’t go.

The rain in the bronco has rendered it useless. I will be willing to take it off your hands.

We had one hell of a downpour last night here in Wentzville, MO. My soft top bronco is still at the local rail yard with about 20 others. Very curious to see how they all did. Lol.

I haven’t gotten my hands on an actual Bronco with an MIC top yet, but I assume the seams must seal with gaskets in some fashion.
From my experience with dive gear I’ve learned that the smallest pieces of debris can cause catastrophic failure in an o-ring or gasket.
I doubt the roof panels will be as susceptible, but I would suggest that when reinstalling your roof panels you check the seams to make sure nothing is undermining the seal.

I was afraid of that too, but mine is now a fair amount quiter since removing and reinstalling all the panels. Trying a car wash today.

That's actually what I think many of the rattle or noise complaints stem from is either the factory or owner half assing installing their tops.
