Bad news about MIC 2.0 quality after a few days

[FordDealer46755]

Offer a factory installed soft top 2-door and solve most of the problem. First thing I am doing when I get mine is hoisting it up in the garage and installing a soft top for ease of use (not for appearance).

Still can't get it right 2 attempts later mind you. The Ford purists on this forum are comical though, making excuse after excuse as to why Ford/Webasto can't get it right. People just need to call things out for what they are and stop playing to their base.

We have a thread that's less then 24 hours old, with 7/8 people showing legit evidence of MIC 2.0 issues, within a period of less then a month of ownership, on a forum that realistically probably makes up <1% of total Bronco ownership, and we're not even in the winter months yet. Lets call it for what it is...an issue.

I know jeep has had there issues over time as they have created a different generation of Wrangler TJ<JK<JL etc...but how have you not figured it out yet...for me what I can see is Ford should have put a brace in the middle for structural support. Jeep has 8 bolts that secure the hard top cap to the vehicle and it has no issues with popping + you dont have the middle piece that is removable. The more removable pieces you have the weaker it becomes...just my two cents.

Seeing how all these people are having issues with their Bronco's makes me glad I stuck with Jeep. I personally dont like or am a fan of the bronco but I do hope that it gets fixed soon so you all can enjoy the open air that ford promised.

How's that plan coming along to build a Wrangler killer and take market share away from Jeep?

How many managers have been fired, reassigned or demoted because of the bad decisions they made or approved during the Broncos design and subcontractor management?

What I have found unusual with the MIC 2.0 is that some of my edges are rolled/finished and others are "cut", almost like how you would break saltine crackers apart. Living in Colorado, I should know shortly how the moisture and freeze/thaw cycles are going to treat this top. I had the dealer document it at delivery and am hopeful that it will prove to be just aesthetics.

What was mark levine’s response?

Everyone at Ford who's pay depends on stock prices is at a Salt Bae restaurant, eating a gold tomahawk, three bottles of Dom deep right now.

I would happily take a soft top on my two door that I ordered!

 

[Hossfire]

The fact that the mic top is 695 option tells you all you need to know it’s cheap as fuck. Why build such a beautiful vehicle only to throw a piece of shit top on it

It's 695+ the cost of the soft top that you don't get.

I'm not going to post the pics of the FE that just arrived. Everyone needs to order the soft top until they start making MODs.

If Ford wants to start putting softies on the 2-Door or sell me a 4-Door for the price of the 2-Door I've had on order since forever, sure.

Picked ours up about a week ago...same same. 2.0 top still had honeycomb issue. Wasn't gonna stop us from taking her home though.

What was mark levine’s response?

Is he Mike Levine's evil twin? Or is that his alter-ego when he has to go out in public?

I don't see Ford having the stones to admit they screwed up and to completely shut down shipments again. Let's not cover up a real issue with the vehicles just because we're afraid of how Ford might respond.

"We are aware some Broncos are still having roof quality issues and are working on a permanent fix for all MIC customers" or even "The tops might look like ass, but that's just the way they are, deal with it" would be preferable to the radio silence from Ford though.
