I heard on another forum from a Ford production worker that the delays are still the tops but it’s not just a production issue it’s a engineering issue as the tops are leaking and coming off at high speeds
Is this problem with any particular top? MIC or MOD? Soft?
Thanks

Reason #2 to go with the MGV interior... I wonder what is considered 'High Speed' in a Bronco.

This type of issue would seem to better fit the 6-week delay in production from March to May.

And not only do they have to re-engineer the top(s), but do quite a bit of field testing. Makes May 3 seem kinda iffy. I'm all for shipping the 2-doors with soft top only

Being that this is the same company that makes the flying corvette tops, not surprising.

That will be unfortunate but hilarious if true since some Ford EV manager was just quoted talking smack to Tesla about their roofs flying off. ?

Well, if they fix that, then Tesla won’t be interested in buying them anymore...?

I'm looking forward to the updated B&P. Any idea when this will be available?
Here is a screenshot from Esteban’s interview on Bronco Nation:

Its Bronco Nation’s answer to everything.

Kyle Hill FB group bronco 6th Gen :”Supplier and engineering issue. Roofs are flying off at higher speeds and leaking. Our facility has been delayed because of this. No we don’t make the roof panels either?” I can’t post a link you have to subscribe to that group
