Armadillo Designs Aluminum Hardtop

[Ninjak]

My order was the Raw Aluminum top, then I switched it to white after the colour match to Oxford White. I would think it would hold up decently in a warm climate.

Mine's now maybe 20-30 miles away! Delivery to the body shop for installation was supposed to be Monday but we'll see. Jazzed!

Its all what you the end consumer want and likes, but personally being around aluminum that has oxidized it turns white and chalky looking and will look really bad. For example lay your head under your rig and look at the transmission or transfer case notice all the white specks on them, that's what the top will do if left uncoated / protected.

Appreciate it, looking forward to one day ordering one.

had a insulation panel fall off on me. it arrived with the same piece having fallen off in transit.
whats the best method to re-secure insulation panels at the moment?

Resonix black absorber is super strong self adhesive and amazing stuff, and can apply on top of a sound deadener with foil type outer skin for the ultimate. I removed all the Ford absorber in door panels and elsewhere and did this ....like a Gwagon now.

Not yet, but coming next week. I brought my Bronco in at the end of the day. They're installing the top and a few other things too, plus they're closed for 4 days over the Christmas weekend. I may not have it back before Monday.

Unfortunately, I forgot to get a photo of the top. It looks great!

Getting consistent water intrusion from my hatch... This sucks. . never has this with the original hard top in 3 years I had it on.

from the hatch? Or is it coming in from the top but on the side?

I saw some water marks on the inside of the hatch. So I'm guessing it's all from the hatch somewhere

I need to go and check these out. Only 30(ish) miles from me

Have you found a solution or messaged Fabian and the team to see what they say? Curious of the resolution in case I have similar issues. I have had my Bronco covered for the recent rains we've gotten as I havent had time to adjust all the latches and such and didnt want to deal with any possible leaking yet.

the rear glass on the hatch was not installed properly... waiting on fabian. He mentioned sending out a replacement.
I water tested this with my pump sprayer and half a gallon of water. with a few oz of water, i had water intrusion on left and right sides from the top part of the glass.

Currently have a slant back that I will be posting up for sale in the upcoming week or so, it’s still in raw form and on pallet as seen in picture. No longer own a 4door so don’t work for new Bronco unfortunately. Have liner black hex pattern, as well. Also have the Inner side panels and a custom rear shelf. Have a full set of talion aluminum skids too. I’m located in ft Wayne, Indiana just thought I’d say something in here incase anyone is looking for one quick without the 4-6 mo waiting time.

Was told to sikaflex 221 the rear glass from the outside. Not sure how well that will hold since i can't clean the surfaces i'm bonding. But we'll see i guess.
