that 4 dr bestop looks great, I plan on getting the same one after my OBX MIC is received and I have a few Ford Reward credits to put toward it. Did you take any other pics of it yet, would love to see a few more angles.
Here's from the side, really makes it feel more sporty.

Found a couple more issues on mine this week. Can see daylight through the top to right side joint near the front right corner of the clamshell.

Also found this messed up area on the rear inner portion of the right front panel.

Dealer got my Bronco back today to have the top examined by their Ford person. I will keep you folks posted on what they find out. Is it bad that even though they gave me another bronco as a loaner, the fact it isn’t sqauched makes me feel self conscious while driving....

LIST OF EXCUSES THE DEALER WILL GIVE YOU
1. Well your top isn’t nearly as bad as some of the others I’ve seen

2. It is only a $695 addition

3. because it’s molded in color

YOUR RESPONSE
The fact that these issues are widespread and inconsistent across all tops shows very clearly there is a problem that needs to be resolved on a top by top basis.
Will update ASAP

It can't whistle without a large enough air leak... it's a feature... and it minimizes Carbon Monoxide concentration from the more than equally leaky exhaust. ;)

Yes they are replacing my top. When I don’t know other than cosmetic I don’t have any issues no noise no leaks etc.
Good to hear you are making progress on a resolution. I should have a similar update Monday. Thanks!

I am very thankful to receive my Bronco but my top is far from perfect. Looks like the front and rear sections are 1.0 and center section 2.0. You can clearly see the center section is a different color and is a little smoother.. The back has a primer applied sticker on 8/26. I don't see any delamination anywhere yet. I did not notice the difference in color at the dealer when I picked up.

I know nothing but that seems like you got an old section, they weren’t acknowledging a solution in August that I know of. We got that retooling etc email talking about October. I can’t believe that section was done 2 months before any other…

I’m 6 days into ownership of a dirt mountain bronco. It’s starting to honeycomb on the back cap. It also has some spots under the rear passenger window on the back cap where the primer/finish is delaminating. It wasn’t like that when I took delivery but it was also night and hard to really inspect.

the panels are also mismatched colors.

My bronco will be street parked here in Phoenix. There’s no way this top is going to hold up to 115° weather lol. It seems to be pretty poor quality.

It's just a cosmetic issue, would you like to go back to Dirt Mountain??? ;)

So....how long until we actually see a legitimate aftermarket hardtop for sale and how much should we expect to pay?
A while and A lot

hah yeah I mean I’m glad I have it. But this top is absolute piece of shit. People can sugar coat it all they want. It’s poorly designed, poorly finished and is going to give all owners problems until Ford figures out a more permanent solution.

I wouldn’t be thrilled if my top looked this way after 1 year…. It’s been 6 days and hasn’t been through an Az summer.
