  1. Adaptive cruise control from 0 speeds?

    This would be amazing. I had a GM that would come to a full stop.
  2. Soft top separating / splitting / tearing issue!?! (Update. It got even worse!!)

    Mine was repaired last summer. At the time there was no procedure so it was a bit of a hassle getting it addressed. I took mine to Galpin for a second opinion. After many calls between Galpin & Ford Dearborn, the decision was made to have the techs from Galpin Auto Sport take a look. Once they...
  3. 5 Tire Rotation - Bronco TPMS Sensors -The FACTS

    I just had this argument with my dealer today!! I just had this argument with my dealer today!! You are 100% correct. Furthermore, the official Bronco user manual not only recommends 5 tire rotation, but recommends it be done by the dealer. ā€œFor the best tire life, a five tire rotation is...
  4. Which GOAT mode do you use most often?

    I’m like you. I rarely turn that hockey puck. I just select hi/lo, sway bar, lockers as needed. I would give ā€˜Rock Crawl’ an honorable mention as I do use that mode as a way to access the front tire cam in drive-thrus, car washes, etc. I’d like to see a more complete description of all the...
  5. Soft top separating / splitting / tearing issue!?! (Update. It got even worse!!)

    For context, this was the condition of the top when I dropped it off
  6. Soft top separating / splitting / tearing issue!?! (Update. It got even worse!!)

    Received this yesterday. Dealer attempted repair. It peeled again before I could come to pick it up. Dealer has ordered a replacement top.
  7. Soft top separating / splitting / tearing issue!?! (Update. It got even worse!!)

    Mine has been at the dealer for 3 days now. Service rep texted me that they completed the Ford recommended glue repair, and it has already begun peeling again. He said he is re-submitting to have the top replaced. If Bestop made a square back top I would have already bought one.
  8. Soft top separating / splitting / tearing issue!?! (Update. It got even worse!!)

    Heard back from dealer. Ford has requested a repair rather than replacement. Appointment is tomorrow morning. We’ll see how this goes. I’ll post before & after pics
  9. Soft top separating / splitting / tearing issue!?! (Update. It got even worse!!)

    I had my Bronco in for the official SSSC inspection last Monday. Dealer tech agrees that the top has failed and signed off on warrantee replacement. I’m told now that no procedure has been established for replacement (I.e. parts to order, install procedures, etc) because the Bronco line is so...

    I’m in Castaic. I’d join but I’m working tomorrow
  11. Soft top separating / splitting / tearing issue!?! (Update. It got even worse!!)

    I heard back from Ford yesterday. After an inspection at Galpin Ford in LA, a ā€œTriple S Cā€ or ā€œSSSCā€ report was filed. It has been determined that my top is to be replaced. Next up is to coordinate with my service advisor an appointment to have the work done

    Santa Clarita 6G service?? Does anyone have a recommendation for a basic service shop in SCV? (Oil change, tire rotation, filters, fluids, etc.) I refuse to spend any more time or money at Auto Nation Ford Valencia. That place is a disaster.
  13. Soft top separating / splitting / tearing issue!?! (Update. It got even worse!!)

    I’m the OP of the thread you got rolled into. Just had an inspection and seems like we’re headed for a replacement top. Service rep is submitting a ā€œtriple S Cā€ or ā€œSSSCā€ report to Ford Dearborn. Waiting to hear what next steps may be. I feel it’s only a matter of time before we see the flood of...
  14. Soft top separating / splitting / tearing issue!?! (Update. It got even worse!!)

    Here’s my current status. I have an appointment at Galpin tomorrow morning to restart the inspection process. The fabric is now laying on my head as I drive. Every edge is showing signs of separating.
  15. Soft top separating / splitting / tearing issue!?! (Update. It got even worse!!)

    Took delivery of mine in last September. I noticed the issue about 6 months later
