Just got my 1st crack in the windshield...lower bottom passenger part of the window...errr!!! Going to do another trip then I will get it fixed.
Same spot about an inch up from bottom on the wife's side! We got it last September on our way to the White Rim Trail. I have been putting it off but someone said to get it fixed before it cracked and would need replaced. That person said they had problems with getting everything calibrated. I have no idea so decided to play it safe.

Wow, you really can't read eh? OP wanted a confirmation from those with NO CRACKS...
Ha, took the words right outta my mouth! That said, it's actually not really happening. A miracle. We do, however, have the contingent posting here who clearly can't read or follow simple instructions...

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: It's a B6G thing. Several threads, even in the first few pages, people can't follow along. Photo challenge being one of them. It was kinda funny at times. Then when you correct people they get mad. Just like threads going off topic. Something about B6G. The interweb is some interesting entertainment at times.

It is great to hear that people don’t have mic top cracks . Don’t know why mine is cracking not sure if my off camber activities are contributing . I do off road at least once a month and could it be the flexing don’t know. However finally I am getting it replaced under warranty which has been an ordeal. I plan to linex soon after so I don’t have to deal it with going forward. Hoping that this will be permanent .

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.
Asking who hasn't had any cracks on their hardtop is like asking who here hasn't wrecked their Bronco. I'd hope there would be a ton of ME ME ME answers. Also not specifying Mic/Mod/Painted/2Dr/4Dr is baiting for mostly good answers. I believe all cracking has been Mic tops only with a higher percentage of 2Drs having the issue. The dealer just ordered my 4th top since my 3/36 is coming up in May. I would have already been on my 4th but they never installed it as it wasn't up to par straight out of the crate. The service advisor did say he thinks they have changed the part number on the 2dr replacement but didn't know any specifics. He also said to expect a 6 month wait as he had a list ahead of me.
My 2Dr Badlands Mic top is always garaged when at home and every top has shown cracks in the same places within a few weeks before ever removing.

...and similar in that there will always be those who have wrecked unable to resist the impulse to reply. :ROFLMAO:

2023 wildtrak. 4 door on my second top. This one has a crack in the back. Waiting for Ford to decided if they will cover the replacement.

Second top only lasted 13 months before crack.

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.
Could be variance in batches or luck of the draw. I'm a member of Bronco Nation on FB with 158k members and I see lots of photos weekly of people with issues.

Well I did the post because all I saw was tops that cracked. Its like a customer service survey, usually the ones that reply are the disgruntled patrons. Being new to this forums and having just received my 25 Badlands 2dr I wanted to see how widespread this is.

I don't see your correlation at all vs. who wrecked their Bronco.

Quite honestly, here's how it sums up on B6G.

Most tops don't have cracks, you are overreacting.

My hardtop had some cracks, mainly hairline cracks but cracks nonetheless. Ford replaced it for me under warranty and I picked up today after installation. let's se if this one lasts.

I have a 2021 4 door - Garage parked.

no MIC hardtop issues at all. It's been solid. I remove the tops (all the tops) constantly in the summer (on/off/on/off) - no issues.

now scratches from Wheeling on the other hand - TONES :p
