An aircraft carrier doesn't turn around in seconds, I would expect one guy to control every aspect of a multinational automotive manufacturer during a global pandemic fueling multiple supply chain disruptions. Direction requires buy-in, and that takes time.
I'm not saying everything is all good...
Farley is well respected in the auto industry. Lexus wouldn't be what it is today without him. FWIW, the Bronco program was well underway long before Farley came on as CEO (October 1, 2020).
I've never met the man, but in my opinion he's far from a clown. He's an enthusiast like many of us...
Yes, in my case it was just the driver side. The way the Bestop latch is designed it gets tighter when you move the striker horizontally away from the latch
Two things helped:
1st: I pushed the entire assembly rearward as much as possible when tightening the mount bolts.
2nd: I moved the driver's side windshield header striker forward 1/8-1/4 inch. Your results may vary as there is significant space to move them around. Ultimately, the latch wasn't...
Update:
We got our list, emails are going out to our reservation holders.
I am currently working with my Zone Rep to figure out if handraisers that received allocations from other dealers can switch to us. Will post what I hear back.

We expect small quantities. GT500 is around 5k/year and F150 Raptor is about 25k/yr. If I was to hazard a guess, I'd say about 2-3k considering Bronco Raptor is J2, and will likely be around 5-6 months of production.
Our interpretation is that there will be a majority reserved for reservation holders that signified interest via the link, and a smaller number of units allocated to dealers as specialty units are traditionally allocated.
