It's really something how big the assembly plants can be. That isn't even I big one! Check out these stats :

At least at one point they were producing only 40 tops a day but I never heard about how many more they were ever able to get out of the plant beyond that tidbit of news in early summer. That low production volume (plus low yields)... Ugh... what can I say?
I hear both of you! Today, when heading out to lunch to pickup a quick bite, there was an A51 BB 4D softie at my dealer that they just got propped up on molded rocks... Yeah, that was a bit aggravating. I called a buddy of mine with a Jeep that wants to buy a Bronco. He might want to get that...
I called that Ford number tonight that was posted in here the other day. She told me it's still listed as "in production" and she couldn't give me any new information... Ugh
I was going for at least a little more information!
My dealer told me to wait because of this MIC debacle and so that the credit check didn't happen multiple times etc. That was back in early August, but now it's built and stuck, so it was good to wait anyway.
I'm not doing anything with it until I get better timing from someone.
I'm with you (but skiing instead of snowboarding). I've got a Yakima Skybox and looking forward to using both in the winter and to OBX. I got the roof rails for that reason as well.
Yeah, there's no way I'm using the soft top in the winter. The top seems really easy to remove and to PowPow's...
The express airlifted timing was a must because other alternatives (i.e. Boat from China) would take weeks. I also read where the tooling came from Wuhan which screwed timing up from the beginning.
Who knows, since they seem to be under-promising and delivering, maybe they'll squeak out some...
I agree with wet application. I've done the dry exactly like @Johnny Mo described, but for applying it to the vehicle, I'm envisioning getting a huge crease 37 seconds into the process of doing it dry! 😅
