It should be, if you can find a dealer who will put in the replacement. Its been a hit or miss, because Ford was denying things for a long time, and some service writers remember the denials and wont put in new requests for what's been denied in the past.
Good to know. I just got off of the phone with my dealership. I have an apt for the first Sat in March to have a tech look at it, take pics and send it to Ford for replacement. The honeycombing is getting worse, so I better attempt a replacement now. Also, my dealership here in Vegas said its the first call that shes taken for a MIC warranty.
Way back when, my original want was a white top so I selected the black mod top hoping a white alternative would find it's way or worse case I'd get it painted. Fast forward 3 years with 2 of those in a 99 status waiting for the mod top to even show back up and the last one waiting on my HE with surprise surprise, my white top!I'll keep driving my Wrangler until Ford can offer the body color modular top they showed all the way back on launch night. To be this far into the run and it only being available on the HE and only in white is disappointing to say the least. I will not own a Bronco with the MIC top ever.

I didn't save any of the old colorizer pics except for white with white top but here it was for any doubters ...
Worse case, buy a Heritage and paint the top whatever color you want, Lord knows I was tired of waiting!
Yeah, I cancelled my Grangtober order when Ford sent out the ultimatum emails to drop options or risk losing price protection. Bought a 2 door JL Rubicon the next week. Luckily, got in on it before prices went haywire there for a bit. I started with a black 2dr BadSquatch w/ Lux order, switched to Eruption Green when it was offered, and held out hope that by the time my number was called that they'd have the mod top available. Ford still not being able to build what I was shown on launch night and being told the only likely way my order would be fulfilled would be to step down from what I wanted was the final straw for me to step away. I'd consider coming back if the mod top were ever made available and I could get what I wanted all along so I check back in here on occasion.Way back when, my original want was a white top so I selected the black mod top hoping a white alternative would find it's way or worse case I'd get it painted.

The mod top isn't whisper quiet either, I haven't been in a MIC top at speed but my mod still has wind noise thru the seals. In the past I have compared the sound to my 17 year old FJC with its old original seals, which isn't bad but not Cadillac quiet by any means.
You should have held out for a softieIn a few weeks I’ll take possession of my mod top tremor using the $4250 ford gave me for canceling my original mod top order that turned into a heritage order.
*THIS IS ALL MY SPECULATION*
Hope you’re right. White paint hides everything but dirt.*THIS IS ALL MY SPECULATION*
My guess is that the black MOD top will be out next year with the MYT2025 refresh, maybe with the long-rumored "Oates" edition.
I think their original plan was to roll out the black out first, then the white with the HE, then the body color top. That plan went down the tubes when the MIC had all the issues and sucked up their engineering resources to take care of that, so they put the MOD on the back burner and ended up rolling out the white MOD top first so that they could get the HE's out. But then they ran into production issues with the MOD top as well and now here we are...
I'm with @Lowcountry Bronco and @BigFootie, my white MOD top on my HE is flawless. It's actually better than the paint on the body.
This was my original build, CO with the black MOD top.
Same.I'll keep driving my Wrangler until Ford can offer the body color modular top they showed all the way back on launch night
N'ah. They were offering them to BB walk in buyers with a discount to the MSRP of the car to clearance out those tops.
