📣 Ford announces MIC hardtop solution (program 21B49): unscheduled orders will get MY2022, delivered & built Broncos will have tops replaced

[Nobody]

Any idea on the blend date or how long this has been there????

Dealer just said they had it for a couple days. Based on the conversation, I don't think it was more than 2-3 days. No window sticker, just a sold tag hanging from the mirror.

Man, so I changed from hard top to soft top in July based on the email Ford sent to speed up your order. I wanted the hard top but wanted the Bronco more. Now since I changed before this memo came out I am ineligible for the additional reward points. Had I just wait like a lot of you did I could have gotten the points and still got a build date.

That looks like an updated one to me TBH. The other ones I seen don’t look like that at all.

They haven't even begun production of V2! lol

While that is likely true, we don't really know.

Hope I'm not repeating something already stated somewhere in the last 40+ pages of responses, but am I understanding correctly that if a reservation holder of a hard top Bronco doesn't already have a production date (excluding First Edition), then they will NOT receive a '21 Bronco and will roll into the '22 model?

That is my understanding, yes.

Are you sure?

I wonder if @PREMiERdrum has any insight into whether v2.0 has begun production yet.

I’m sure he does, but will he talk?

OMG! lol

I thought Ford communicated mid-October; however, great if sooner.

OMG! lol

Do you know something we don't?

Do you not expect some ramp up period, or just balls to the wall on the first day of production in October?

WE DON'T KNOW is the bottom line.

They’re gonna have to test and evaluate or they’ll be right back to square one if the new one is the same as the old. It would be a safe bet that a few are out on mules right now baking in the sun.

The new tooling has yet to be installed. Give it a few weeks.... ish.

That's reassuring.... LOL. I can't say that I am even remotely surprised that they are not building production V2.0 tops yet.

So once the new tooling is in place, depending on what one believes, anywhere from 0-1000 hard tops a day will be produced. I am really tired of being a pessimist, but I just can't see them hitting anything above 500/day under even the best of circumstances. Someone suggested that they were at 300 bad tops per day sometime between late July and Early August... That would be phenomenal, if they were all good tops.

@PREMiERdrum, do you know how many tops they need to make (+/- 1000) to get all the FE's, DMSC, scheduled orders, and replacement tops to get back to not have any backlog for 2022?

What was it said in the official email about the rear windows....?
Are dealers removing the old glass and mounting it in the V2 tops for current customers?
Yeah, I'm pretty glad i don't have a VIN yet.
