My only hope is when things disappear or go blank, that Ford is actually doing something. Updating, changing, whatever it is...just something. That's my hope anyway. Could just be 'bring your kid to work' day and their pressing buttons.
So we only get to see pictures of the damage?? Where’s the full bronco Picts? Congrats!Update for Vinny: No on Sasquatch - the rest of mine was correct, and...
Delivered!!!
As far as QC issues - I think it extends to other things than MIC tops based on a couple of things I'll be working out with my dealer. Some, I really don't care about. One, I would like fixed and I think it'll be an easy fix, so no big deal.
When my dealer called today, he said, "It arrived, but there's some transit damage and we need to figure out whether you want to put it in the body shop now or take delivery and put it in later." The way he described it, I thought it fell off the train or something. Turns out, it was directly behind something red and my bronco probably left a hole in whatever it was behind. I have some red paint on one of the tow shackles. I seriously don't care. I also have some paint damage on one of the skid plates. I said, "I'll do worse than that this coming weekend. I'll let that go.""
On to things that are not transit damage. First, when I popped the top, I noticed this. There's some minor paint damage on the roll bar. No big deal, I don't really care. I just have to wash off the grease pencil mark someone put there.
The thing that does bother me is there is a piece of trim that resides between the swing gate and the driver side tail light. It appears to be incorrectly fastened on the top, which is letting it rub on the swing gate when I open and close it:
This does bother me - it's a plastic part, so should be an easy fix, just, well, I suspect things like this are why there is more QC being done right now - there are some mistakes being made, so they need to correct the process.
But final note - I'm totally happy. These are easy fixes. There were worse problems with my Ram when I first took it and it had to go in and out of the shop for a couple of months before it was right, so if this is all I have to deal with, I'm a happy camper!
So demanding
- I just posted in the main forum, but for my 7/19 peeps (who are the best on 6G)!
How long did it take for them to get it off the train once it got to SLC?Update for Vinny: No on Sasquatch - the rest of mine was correct, and...

I'm figuring the train came in late last night or very early this morning, quite possibly, I passed the train up near Hill AFB this morning since it was one with the right type of train cars on it. It got loaded on the truck this afternoon and delivered directly to West Valley - they're about 5 miles from the depot, so they usually get the first deliveries of any trip.
I went about a week before I started getting rock chips out of the side of my last Wrangler. Sometimes, I got them in the weirdest places. Definitely, that trim piece needs to get fixed. It bothers me. The rest of it looks fine to me. The other side looks great - just that one piece of trim is wonky and I can push it where it is supposed to be with my finger, so that tells me the fastener isn't connected on the top part of it.
Mine did that last weekend (Friday?) and came back a couple days later. I was hoping it might have meant delivery was coming (yes, I drove by my dealer about 10 times last weekend...), but alas it did not. Now that I still don't have delivery, I'm not sure if it meant anything...
none of the trackers are pulling up my bronco. Is anyone else having this problem?
Mine went null last Wednesday. I thought it was because I actually bought the bronco before it arrived - once it was on the train, we did all the finance and everything. It was about the time I started getting e-mails from Ford to activate my FordPass and from Sirius to activate my radio.
