My opinion is that damage came from the transport trailer. Looks like rusty metal scrapped along the roof.

Personally, I'd be very concerned about is if the Bronco roof framework got tweaked in the process. A new MIC won't solve that.

I love how many Velocity Blue owners have replied to this thread ✊
Ok, now I'm in!!!

Amazed that it missed the windshield frame and just grazed the MIC top. That's some type luck right there!

Judging by the damage that is there, I wouldn't sweat that, these tops are rather fragile. It JUST . BARELY. caught that top.
.... but by Gawd, if that thing had been sitting a 1/4 or 1/2 inch higher, this would be a totally different story!!!

Maybe even just an 1/8" , man that's was a tight squeeze!!!

So this rolled off the transporter yesterday. Dealer exchange from another Ford store. Looks like maybe the driver went under something that was just a little too low. 😬 Needless to say, it will be going back or getting a whole new replacement top.

I bet this would fall under the category of delamination and the GSB, see what they say.

I’d cultivate gourmet mushrooms in it. Or medicinal if you’re into that
