Who hasn't had any cracks with their hardtops?

[Rspayde]

This guy must be an aftermarket hard top producer. Trying to get everyone to Jinx their crack free tops.

I can say with confidence though my soft top has cracked exactly none times.

I have not noticed any cracks on mine. '22 badlands 2 door 49k miles, it has been parked almost entirely outside since I took delivery in April 2022 and has seen some harsh winters.

23 Badlands 4door, 20k miles, garaged the majority of the time. No cracking or delamination issues. I do have couple spots of snakeskin showing, but no other issues.

I feel like its a matter of when not if, but I would like to see are there folks out there who haven't had their hardtop crack. Please mention whether if its a 2dr or 4dr and parked in a garage. Thanks.

2021 4-Door, 50K miles mostly garaged with zero cracks.

The garage helps but I also credit it to applying epoxy to the rough edges to prevent water intrusion.

Zero cracks here - 2023 2.7 Badlands w/8000 miles.

No issues with the hard top. '24 2DR BB garaged.

I couldn’t tell you one way or the other. Ignorance is bliss. If water starts coming in I’ll just leave the soft top on year round.

You know... it does make you wonder why some folks (like me) have zero problems, and why some folks have had multiple tops.

You wonder if some MIC tops were built in one factory servicing one part of the country, or on one line in that factory, or they're put on torqued wrong by Ford, or how the glass is installed into the top... or what?

Probably never to be solved, but a curious problem just the same.

No cracks. '22 4-door w/ 45k miles. Top removed often. Rear hangs frequently from a ceiling hoist. Bronco spends the majority of it's time garaged, as I work from home.

2023 OBX SAS 4Dr, 20k miles and babied in a garage since new, no cracks.

Haven't noticed any cracks

Prepare for the very small but very vocal and polarized angry few who are convinced every single MIC top has cracks (everyone else is just too dumb and/or blind to see) 3, 2, 1...

2021 4-door, parked inside at night, no cracks (and the top was unexpectedly ceramic coated in the pic below when I had the service done 2-weeks after purchase ---- maybe that was the "miracle solution" ).

Sorry for the off topic reply, but is that Eleanor? And is she yours?

I believe that they all have cracks to some extent. Some are major and some are almost imperceptible. You have to look hard and know what you’re looking for. I didn’t think I had any, but my buddy with a 24 Bronco Raptor showed me, under the right lighting, that I had some under my rear cab windows on both sides of my 24 WildTrak. So did he? As does my daughter‘s 23 Badlands. Depending on temperature and humidity, they’re more noticeable on certain days. You can feel them better than you can see them.

This is correct.

I have a 23 Raptor with only 15k miles that is garage kept and driven mostly on weekends, as I have another vehicle for commuting.

I was thinking for a while that I was lucky, and with the conditions the vehicle is kept (always in the garage/not much driving), I'd remain lucky with the top; however, if I look at my top from an angle within my garage lighting, I can see cracks around the rear windows. If you look in the direct sunlight and such, you'd think my top is perfect.

2023 model year, 2 door, no cracks. I routinely take it off and put it back on all summer long during nice weather. About 16,000 miles and stored inside about 70% of the time

It is an Eleanor, but not mine. Just happened to be next to mine in the detailer shop that day. It's built on a 2012 Mustang chassis. Here's some other pics:
