I'm still interested. I'm about to order my Bronco, and I'm going ahead with a soft top for now to keep my options open. The Armadillo top is still the best IMO; I just want enough assurance I'll get what I pay for.
We ordered ours March 31
Nov 2023. Not looking to cause any trouble. In Armadillo, I Trust.
How could stating facts be causing trouble? You ordered a year ago. The top is not in your possession. If a company has a problem with you stating the reality of the situation then they should have done something differently to avoid that.Nov 2023. Not looking to cause any trouble.

I was being sarcastic about causing trouble. Also, They were still designing and prototyping the top when I ordered. I knew what I was getting into. I have appreciated all of the updates from social media and from them reaching out personally. I see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Gotcha. For some reason I thought they were actively selling and delivering tops when I ordered ours. So when they gave me a delivery date of May for my order placed effectively in April, that didn't seem out of line. And really the delays haven't even been an issue for me. But then it seemed like they stopped communicating with customers. Customers that paid in full up front. Not exactly inspiring confidence when that happens and they're still promoting the hell out of the product to bring in more orders.
we ordered November 29th 2023
I’m actively working on solving this. My GPS works no problem but I get no Sirius XM (which I really like). I’m going to drill a hole in mine and relocated the antenna to the top like the picture below.
I will try to document the process, and get as much as I can on this process.
Good news! The Dacia Sandero has an offroad edition coming out!Good news Everyone! (In my professor's Farnsworth voice):
Fabion messaged me and told me my top is ready, being crated, and will ship this coming week.
Oh happy day! He also informed me I will receive the email this coming week, but he wanted to let me know.
It has been a long journey, but the finish line is right there in front of me now
I am not the first to receive one via shipping, I do think cammackey received his top and installed it already as he has the Raw Aluminum, or now what they call the sandblasted top. He does extensive photo shooting and is using his Bronco a shoot vehicle.
At any rate, I will either update here or start a new thread as I have a few other things to go on with my top.
Well, seems how they originally hit me up the first week of October telling me the top would be ready the following week, I’m not a useful resource on what to expect on inspection, crating, etcetera@Ninjak and @SierraBronco very happy for you both. Please keep us updated.
If memory serves, @Ninjak received word their top was "complete" on or about November 18. That adds up to 3+ weeks for quality inspection, crating, etc, and maybe more. If you both would be so kind to let us know when you have actual tracking information. Thank guys, your contributions are appreciated.
It would be really interesting to know if any other members have placed a new order and their promised delivery. There have not been many responses or updates to @mangelo's list and I have not ordered one myself for so many reasons detailed previously.
Along those lines, still hoping to hear from @TheLawnDart about the terms being corrected or any other actionable information. Will Armadillo be transitioning to orders with a fractional deposit or, much more appropriately, COD since they are apparently in production? It would be a nice show of confidence and welcome change that might boost sales substantially, at least +1. Otherwise, the view from the sidelines is good for now.
