Wasn't complaining, I was warning others. Don't want it to happen to others. My top failed on a weekend before I hit 36k, unfortunately, I had to drive far enough that I went over 36k that weekend. Not a great situation; sometimes you're the dog, sometimes you're the hydrant. I am fixing it myself now.Certainly unfortunate that happened to you, but bumper to bumper has always been 3 year or 36k miles, whichever comes first. Nothing new there
The warranty is one of the reasons I've leased most of my vehicles over the last 40 years. I'm buying the Bronco, but any sign of trouble, it's history.Certainly unfortunate that happened to you, but bumper to bumper has always been 3 year or 36k miles, whichever comes first. Nothing new there
The rear glass will be swapped like mentioned. However, Ford will cover the cost of the tint if a window needs to be replaced under warranty. It would be covered under related damage. If your dealership is decent at all, they would be able to get approval for it. They would just need to submit your original invoice/receipt to prior approval.
Ford just paid for my windshield tint after having the recall done and the windshield breaking. Luckily I didn’t have to rely on a dealer though, because I work at one and I got the approval
Does quality seem the same with your replacement top? Also, how does the MIC gray color match to your removable panels? I’m assuming you just got the rear cap replaced. Thank you.
Sorry to hear that. What I don't understand is that if some flex of the body is causing the cracks in the crappy plastic, why are not the Bronco Rodeo tops in pieces?
Actually being from fixed ops at ford dealer they WILL pay to re-tint the glass, It's covered under consequential damage.
I would say the color matches perfectly. I will include a pic of the only imperfection I could find on the outside. I would say it is only cosmetic. I did see some weirdness on the inside right under the side windows (same place they have been cracking-see pics). I will say if the new one cracks at all I will immediately trade it for something practical and boring like a tacoma.
Exactly. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. I know it’s cliche, but it’s true. I absolutely love my bronco. But I’m not going to give Ford a pass for developing a really cool and capable vehicle- with a crappy top that cracks and breaks 2k miles on. They need to figure out how to fix this. Whether it’s a redesign, new manufacturer, etc, etc- I don’t care. But with the overall good quality of Jeep tops, it’s inexcusable for them not to be able to do this.
Exactly. Ford took everything good & cool about the Wrangler and made it better with the Bronco.......except for the MIC hard top. From a "cool" and practical standpoint the top is good......but the build quality of it really took a backseat.
These tops should be flawless by now. I gave Ford a pass the first model year, probably the second, not the third. Inexcusable.
This ain’t brain surgery. Fix the goddamn top!
100%. At a minimum, all I'm really asking for is a bit thicker of plastic that covers the cardboard core. And if Ford is worried about weight......hell, we're all adding some many accessories and mods to our Broncos that factory weight is basically out the window the day we drive them off the lot.
