  1. [Updated 7/20] Early Delivered Bronco MIC Top Developing Honeycomb / Snakeskin Pattern

    New today- the snakeskin texture is now very visible on the middle panel. This has changed since yesterday. It's been in the cool garage since last night so it doesn't appear to be heat or sun related. FWIW, the snakeskin on my clamshell first appeared in the sun after sitting outside. I've had...
  2. When Production is Down Next Week

    They're addressing them and shipping them out ASAP. They can't just pull all incoming MICs for replacing these because of the domino effect on production, so they pull what they can and move them out. This week of shutdown will provide more than enough roof inventory to get these builds resolved.
  3. When Production is Down Next Week

    To my knowledge a Bronco unit coming off of final hasn't needed body repair since customer builds began. Last I heard about one was back in May.
  4. When Production is Down Next Week

    Shipping and post-production resolution will continue. Only units needing repair by the body shop (very rare) would be stuck there because of the shutdown.
  5. Ford has new painted MOD top supplier for Bronco after Webasto loses contract

    It's becoming obvious that the design was ambitious and difficult to produce with reliable quality. A severely constrained window to test units off the new tooling and new factory with new staff prior to launch was a magnifying glass on the problems. Webasto's refusal to address the toxic...
  6. [Updated 7/20] Early Delivered Bronco MIC Top Developing Honeycomb / Snakeskin Pattern

    I don't work for Ford in any way, shape, or form. Once I hear something on this y'all will be the first to know.
  7. Bronco Production Update From MAP - July 19th 🏭

    "Built" confirmation means you're good to go and heading out to the shipping yards.
  8. [Updated 7/20] Early Delivered Bronco MIC Top Developing Honeycomb / Snakeskin Pattern

    The gift that keeps on giving. New today I have the "snakeskin" texture on both sides of my clamshell and signs of delamination all the way down the drivers side rear clamshell seam. There is also a dark rubberized vinyl streak that has obviously peeled off from somewhere clinging to the top of...
  9. Bronco Production Update From MAP - July 19th 🏭

    I'd expect yours was likely bumped by roof availability. I believe the plan is to blend these back in ASAP (hopefully August) but can't say anything for sure until the roof situation is stabilized... again.
  10. Bronco Production Update From MAP - July 19th 🏭

    For summer / fall season we start drumline conditioning in early March. The kids start every clinic with 1.5 miles on the track, stopping for a circuit of push ups and sit ups every half lap. Additionally, after lap 3 and lap 6 we stop and do a full core-focused yoga regimen of planking...
  11. Bronco Production Update From MAP - July 19th 🏭

    Units held for roof inspection (and possible replacement) will be released as they're addressed. The batching holds are done, so I expect movement soon. I don't know if there will be a separate communication until/if they decide to change the current course of action on the MIC units. As of now...

    So many of you have reached out offering thanks, gifts, and booze to me, but that's not why I'm here. For those of you looking to show thanks with gifts, I'd ask that you consider making a donation to our Watkins Memorial Band Boosters organization (a 501c3 nonprofit) that supports the...

  14. Bronco Production Update From MAP - July 19th 🏭

    Model change over is in mid-December, and you'll know when you receive your build date and VIN (if not before) what your model year is.
  15. Thank you @PREMiERdrum

    Sorry if I missed it (or didn't get back to you), I'm trying to (and failing miserably at)answering whatever questions I can. I haven't taken the clamshell off yet but after staring at it for a day it looks like the warping / waving of the horizontal ledge around the mount points might...
  16. Thank you @PREMiERdrum

    You all are too kind. I enjoy being a part of this community and hopefully the bits of info I'm able to get ahold of help those of you waiting understand what's going on. Tomorrow morning a buddy and I are popping the top and carving an all-back roads route from here to Lake Erie for a day at...

    MY 23 and probably not a moment earlier.
  18. Bronco Production Update From MAP - July 19th 🏭

    Correct. Last I was told was that "the ink was drying" on the contract 3 weeks ago or so. I'm a bit surprised no specifics have been leaked out. Webasto has lost the contract for the MOD tops.
