[old goat]

you think that JEEP folks are paying off the Webasto folks to F*%@ up the tops ?

How much do you want for the crappy hard top?

Yeah, I think this is the one that tips my hand to swap to the softie. The whole hard top is way beyond a cluster at this point. I also feel that there’s gonna be a lot of warranty claims and I’d prefer to avoid that, plus hopefully someone comes out with an aftermarket one before ‘23

Oh for fucks sake Ford! Can’t you getting anything right? This is embarrassing.

Uh oh! I think that means that the gelcoat is too thin.

What do you think the take rate will be on swapping to the soft top this week before the 23rd deadline….? LOL

I’m about to and I’ve been tip toeing the fence for a long time. Like a few others I really don’t want to drop the Wildtrak trim.

I was in a Ford showroom yesterday looking at a 2 door with MIC top. Same defect- dealer knew it, Ford knows it. Dealer not sure how Ford is going to fix it.

Ah seriously? That’s recall territory. I’m sure Ford wants to avoid that at all costs. Having a recall before the majority of year one orders have left the factory I’m sure will not look good to investors. I’m usually pretty positive, but this is a QC nightmare!

that looks like crap Webasto work , can't they figure out the mixture for the mold?
who makes the tops for Jeep ? if it's Webasto then why can't they use the same mixture for the ford broncos
just saw a jeep this morning and looked at the top very closely , it was really nice texture / color .
why can't they begin to use the same for the Bronco?

not Webasto. McLaughlin Boat Works.

I need to see some more recent MIC deliveries up close to verify they’re doing better with QC. Hoping the new ones are better made. I’m probably in denial

Worst thing is...this is the part of the vehicle that is and has been under scrutiny. My guess: WYSWIG.

Wouldn't surprise me to see the MIC discontinued entirely after MY22; good riddance. Important to note that WE still don't know Ford's contract with Webasto. Could be that Ford specified the design, materials, AND production process...and Webasto's only role is to connect the dots.

What a cluster.
