I've seen some comments that once you remove the roof panels, it's hard to have them seal like they came out of the factory. Do you have to fiddle with them to get perfect fitment when putting back together?

Yeah it's a smaller engine but the reality is that it's only 0.4L smaller. We aren't talking major displacement difference.

OP I saw your post on the FB group as well. Owning a Ford out of warranty is always pretty sketchy and given yours has been plagued with issues I would probably move on. On the flip side if your Bronco had lived a problem free life, then you at least have faith to ride things out past warranty.

Autostop Eliminator. One of the best mods at any price.

Vendors that make $$ selling mods like this.

Not a lot different than BMW M owners or Porsche owners that pay $$$ for these ultra fast sports cars that never see the track. People want the image and capability even if they never push the performance of the vehicles to what they were designed for.

Ford couldn't make a viable case to bring the Bronco back if not for the mall crawlers. Based on Jeep executive estimates, 85-90% of owners use these vehicles as mall crawlers. https://www.powernationtv.com/post/what-percent-of-jeep-owners-actually-use-them-for-off-roading

Im surprised that wouldn’t be one of the EOL checklist items to test for safety compliance for every vehicle rolling off the line.

Shouldn’t a dealership at least stock the bolts if scheduling recall inspection? They are just bolts at the end of the day and it seems incredibly wasteful to have to order them after the fact and give you a loaner.

Dude. Most of your crude oil comes from Canada. It's probably why we don't have a shortage at the moment as we have a lot and our smaller population base doesn't consume nearly as much.

Seems to be no shortage up here. In fact Mobil has current mail-in rebates for $10 off 4.73L.

I've always been a fan of cloth seats. Warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer, and typically far more durable. It's a shame that automakers don't make them optional in higher end models. I think VW is one of the few manufactures that offer this with the Golf R and Porsche optioning...

That was my thought. Looks like a fixed roof around the glass in the design.

Not I.

What's shown in the photo is purely cosmetic and not an issue. Ideally Ford would clean the weld areas better but that is not rust or risk of structural damage. OP I don't know if Bronco ownership is for you. If you are going to worry about non-issues before even taking delivery, I can't...
