Yes the order confirmation means that your dealer submitted your order and Ford is confirming that they have received the order. Your dealer should have provided copy of the DORA sheet that you signed.
The less constraints you have on your order, your order will more than likely be schedule over another that has multiple constraints. It's also depends on your dealer allocations. Mind you the hardtop is number 2 on the list of constraints which still could push your build to 24MY. Just keep...
No kidding a hood deflector wouldn't protect your windshield from that type of a direct rock impact. I didnt say a deflector would protect the windshield from every type of rock known to man thrown at it.
From hearing how easy the bronco windshields are getting cracked from rocks, Areoskin II hood deflector was the very first thing I installed. Highly recommend!
Going off my ordering experience, i recommend going with a large volume dealer, make sure you get a buyers agreement indicating no mark ups will be added upon delivery and making sure they submit your order as a COVP. Last thing, don't add any constraints otherwise you won't get scheduled for 23MY.
