Agree with the earlier comment about "Bad top comp." written on the window. Inspection confirmed the top was bad. Came from the factory that way? Why?

Yeah, no doubt you're happy to have it! My comment was more about Ford knowing that the top was bad and shipping it anyway. Gotta wonder who made that decision and why.

With the rough, unfinished edges, do you think you'll be able to get it replaced under warranty, even if you don't have any "problems" with it, like leaks or delamination? More importantly, do you think non-Ford employee customers will? Just curious if it's worth getting "bad" tops with some assurance that they will be replaced.

I think Ford is at the point where many Broncos are going to be finish on warranty. The bean counters came in and said ship. Some people will complain, but still purchase their order, hoping for a warranty fix, others will refuse and the dealer gets a vehicle to sell, and still some with just say f-it I got a vehicle I don't care.....

And I'm sure the trucks won't be delivered to the customers with an explicit note that says, "Hey, we know that top of this truck is defective, but know that we will proactively be replacing it when new tops that meet our standards are manufactured. We will contact you when that time comes."

Probably more like, let's send these out and only address the ones that get complaints and hope for the best.
