Nothing for me yet. I can only assume it will update soon. I have a bronco sport on order also and It had a production date of 8/2 and showed built date few days later.

Think it’s built and will ship? I’m wondering why they would ship mine with a MIC while others built before mine are sitting in a field. Ideas?

Because they got some good tops and know how to put one on your new build.
They dont know how to go get some broncos from the field and replace the tops.

I have yet to hear of a MIC top produced this week (8/2-6) show shipped, which makes me think they are built and holding/waiting for good tops. I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

8/3 build day MIC top. still “in production”

 

[CowboyK]

I see they’ve moved the first editions to next week. So, I’m hopeful the mic issues are worked out.

Same. Mine was 8/4. I’m hoping it’s not in Bronco purgatory. I saw some people moved to built the very next day.

One would think that after last weeks "down" week they wouldn't be building them just to sit and wait, but who knows whats going on.

I'm working with the assumption that most of the currently available MIC tops have been of rough quality...good enough to keep water out of a truck sitting in a lot, but bad enough that it would fail sooner than later in the wild (as evidenced by the delamination and honeycombing pics we've seen). The MIC top production has had to run ahead of vehicle production, so they probably had a whole bunch of those bad tops lying around. May as well build the vehicle that go under them and slap the bad roof on as a placeholder while getting the roof manufacturing fix in place.

I'm also working with the assumption that they are moving the First Editions up in production order again to try to get them finished in MY21...which worries me a lot about their level of concern about getting the top situation figured out soon (i.e. by November when they have to start thinking about retooling for MY22).

But it's all assumptions. We're all fabricating theories out of thin air, pineapples and salt. And hot sauce. Lots of hot sauce.

I like hot sauce.

I know people who are built with MICs for months. And wonder if it’s a “we will get to them when we do” kind of thing for replacements or they will replace them sooner once new ones arrive to ship what’s been built

Build date was in July, now 8/2. I've been "In Production" for weeks. Still excited for Bronco, but gotta be honest, the thrill is mostly gone!

What you are looking for in the aemservices link is for the release date. I do remember seeing one that was released, but I can't remember if it was a MIC top or not.

There would be 0 reasons to move the FE's up without having good tops, they could have left them all to the 30th.
