[Updated 7/20] Early Delivered Bronco MIC Top Developing Honeycomb / Snakeskin Pattern
Interesting times for sure!
If the issue involved safety, I would be more confident of a Ford solution. It may be cosmetic and annoying. In that case, live with it might be the Ford reply.
Options to consider for 2-door owners are more limited. Change to priority 99 and reassess when time comes to place the MY22 order. Or, maybe let the gamble ride and walk away when it hits the dealer lot if Ford made a decision which places all the financial risk on the shoulders of the buyer.
Always options to consider! Unfortunately this takes away some of the joy of ownership.

I completely disagree with you. Even if we all cancel our orders, the net result is that we will be without the vehicle we wanted and they will still sell it. They have the upper hand, and can essentially handle this however they want and get away with it.
and I'll get another vehicle & life goes on

Delaminating tops is more than cosmetic.

I'm with you there. I am thinking that there will be some news from Ford before they schedule more 2dr builds, so I haven't 99'ed yet. I hope that is the right call.
If Ford gave assurances that a durable redesigned top will be available to purchase in ~18mos for $3K installed then it would be easier to accept a potentially flawed hard top or 2dr soft top.

Been Ford customer 45+ years and still have 04 Fusion, & 14 Taurus. My ‘85 Bronco is long gone and still wiping the tears. Don’t know what you got till it’s gone AND NOW? This must be “The Wild” Ford is talking about!
Got my Bronco yesterday and for the first time in my life opted for extended warranty. Went to six years/75,000 miles. Plan to keep this beauty a long time, and would be surprised if there aren’t a few bugs in this first year model. Ford NAILED it in general with this Bronco, but I know glitches will pop up.
Side note: I did have a relatively small roll bar paint scrape on one side from the soft top frame (I assume) that was already there from the factory. Likely from contact when the frame was installed. I lowered and raised the top last night, however, carefully and with no contact. I’ll just dab touch-up paint or even color it in with a Sharpie on the one small spot.

Make note of it with your dealer so the issue gets documented . Ford monitors this stuff and if people don’t report damage it will never get fixed

Already posted as well as the OP clarifying that he didn't put wax on it. (That is just the running joke on the board). It was more like an plastic safe protectant (think armor all like).[Apologies if this was already posted]

The top issue is result of a bad product, not user error.
So, if you try cleaning the top with a de-greaser like simple green to remove the wax you didn't put on, does it change anything in the (honeycomb) appearance?

I washed 2 large spots with Dawn dish soap and it made no difference in appearance. As previously mentioned, the others who have developed the same issues have never "waxed" their tops to begin with.
