Makes you wonder what they do with all the defects. Need to get a defect, coat that thing with Line-X and see how it holds up.

Once you coat the top with anything, you can pretty much say goodbye to your warranty coverage on the top.

I know. That's why I said "need to get a defect" aka a throw away unit. I certainly wouldn't suggest this for a warantable component.

Update- 01/16/2023

I took the Bronco into dealership service appt this morning for the hard top cracking. The dealership took pictures and said it may be an hour or so till they complete the write up. So I waited for about an hour in waiting room and they called me into the service area. The tech told me that there was an existing TSB on the hard top cracking and mine got approved for replacement. I said are they replacing the side panels only? And the tech stated that the whole hard top is to be replaced. So I was happy to hear that as I have read in other responses on the forum of color differences between the side panels and rest of hard top. Tech stated it may take up to 2 weeks for new hard top to come. NP I said and off I went. They gave me the work order for my records. Tech asked me to call in a week to get update.

Do you have the TSB number? I have a small crack around the roof rack area and will be taking my Bronco in for service and if there’s a TSB I will have them replace it, thanks.
