  1. Bittersweet Moment - Just Found The Bronco I Reserved 2 1/2 Years Ago For Sale Online

    The fact it’s on their website doesn’t mean anything. All ordered broncos will show up on dealer’s ā€œFordā€ powered websites. If anyone calls and tries to buy it, they will tell them it’s reserved. This happened to me nearly anytime a Wildttak showed up on any dealer website. The sign one is...
  2. If the SAS/LUX/MIC is going to push a lot of us into 2024 with no PP - what are you going to do?

    Very similar to how I ended up with my Cyber Orange 2d last fall, my pending order is for racing red as well. Sometimes soon you just need to pull the trigger and be done with it. The color will grow on you, itā€˜s actually pretty sweet (and rare w/ 2d), people stop me all the time (universal...
  3. No more 2023MY scheduling for hardtops, Sasquatch and LUX (reported by dealership)

    I managed to snag my loaded 2D from a dealer lot a few months ago, but still have my 12 month old order pending (3 for 3: sas, lux + hard top). I'm temped to keep my order at this point for the sheer entertainment of hearing all the excuses from my dealer, and maybe it will take so long, that...
  4. 2022 Bronco vs. 2022 Wrangler impression after Day 1

    Surprised you didn’t mention the audio quality between the two. I honestly can’t believe B&O would put their logo on something which sounds so truly pathetic. I’ve ridden in 10 cent Hyundai rental cars with better audio than my $60k+ Lux Bronco. Alpine’s setup in the Wrangler is amazing for...
  5. DIY Rear Hard-top Glass replacement?

    One other follow up on this thread. Once you are done the install, head over to the Hard top squeaking - gasket lubricant? thread and get yourself some Krytox Gasket Lube (~$25, 0.5 oz will do fine). Clean all gaskets really well (Armor All Multi-purpose Cleaner worked well for me), and...
  6. DIY Rear Hard-top Glass replacement?

    I just called around to local dealers and found one who had the part. Other dealers were willing to order it in. 2021 window is the same, part number is M2DZ7842006A . I did the install on a 2022 2dr. I paid around $800 plus tax.
  7. MIC Hardtop 2.0 Wind Noise - Leaks Locations Found

    That isn’t how the car industry works. When VW makes a Golf for 20k which they plan on selling for 45k at the GTI trim, they don’t tolerate garbage QA. The lower end models always benefit from the higher end models QA requirements, parts bins and platform which underpins them. The problem...
  8. MIC Hardtop 2.0 Wind Noise - Leaks Locations Found

    Great post OP. To those who think expectations are too high on wind noise, I think that's a bit silly given the $50-65k price point of the vehicle. This isn't rocket science, it's taking panels and seating them to a gasket. It's basic engineering. Either the specs on the parts are...
  9. Prices are starting to drop!

    SF Bay Area is definitely close to MSRP. Tons of lay offs/hiring freezes here, the good times have officially ended. Were I still in the market, I’d be pretty bold to dealers here and offer MSRP, pointing out all the job losses. Due to the implosion of used car prices, Carvana (stock down...
  10. Daily drivability of 2 door vs 4 door

    Here are the ways I found the 2d superior to the 4d: - Easier to park, fits in smaller garages (length wise), and parallel parking - Easier to maneuver around - IMO better if you live in the denser city (like SF say vs something more spread out like Minneapolis) and need to boot around in it -...
  11. Rest your Turbos when you park before turning off car?

    I haven’t read all 9 pages, but this definitely isn’t needed on modern (say post 2000+ designs) vehicles with modern alloys and ECUs. If any sort of post engine-shutdown cooling be required, this would be programmed into the ECU along with the other ops modern cars do after you turn the engine...
  12. DIY Rear Hard-top Glass replacement?

    It does come off straight out, probably some WD-40 might be good to dissolve some of the red thread locker (which is why it's so hard to get off). I wiggled it back n' forth (and up) to break the seal and she popped off, but don't torque it too much, there are some delicate groves on the shank...
  13. DIY Rear Hard-top Glass replacement?

    Also, if folks are curious what the rear window part (M2DZ7842006A) looks like, here it is: As you can see it comes with the hinge hardware attached, wiper motor bracket, as well as the lower brace.
  14. DIY Rear Hard-top Glass replacement?

    Ok, so far so good, but I can’t seem to liberate the wiper arm from the motor assembly. Took the cover off, removed the bolt underneath, but arm won’t budge. Anyone have any guidance here? Update: It comes off straight off, you just need to wiggle it out a bit.
  15. DIY Rear Hard-top Glass replacement?

    Thanks for the instructions! It's the rear glass with the window wiper, I'll take a look at the instructions and see if this is DIY'able for me.
  16. DIY Rear Hard-top Glass replacement?

    Anyone replaced their rear glass DIY? I got the glass today from the dealer, and I'm wondering how hard this is to replace DIY? I'm always a bit nervous having the "professionals" work on my vehicles, as they won't take the time sometimes to go slow, and make sure everything is done as well...
  17. Streamtoyourcar Media Box Works on Bronco -- stream / cast / watch videos on factory screen

    Except with the minor detail that American based tech firms… have you know… laws? Regulations? Political recourse? People get fired, company’s get sued etc. Silicon Valley spends billions on privacy and security. With a foreign firm who just sells boxes on eBay and such…. good luck with that.
  18. Fullscreen Apple CarPlay OTA Update Coming Soon! - Per Ford (Mike Levine)

    Great news. Now if we could get rid of ā€œnanny modeā€ on CarPlay (limited scrolling) it would be near perfect.
