From what I've gathered here the problem is supply, not of white paint, but of modular tops.
It's obvious to me they see the appeal of a white top. That's why they've been shown with them.
The Magnuson Moss act does not state anywhere that "manufacturers must have a certain number of parts on hand." Anywhere. At all. It simply says if you offer a warranty, you must fulfill it in a reasonable amount of time. Exactly the reason you won't be able to order one. They will have to...
The probability of your "possible solution" working is about as likely to as the other thread's OP.
Just thought it was humorous is all, didn't mean to bust your balls.
The Magnusson Moss Act says nothing of the sort.
It deals with warranties and simply states that a warrantor must remedy the product within a reasonable time and without charge.
How do you think people windup in recall situations where the repair is delayed because of parts availability...
Ouch!
Good excuse to build speed on the downhills.
To be clear I meant rain buildup on the inside of the windshield can hinder visibility. RainX helped.
In my experience dealerships don't HAVE to have a VIN.
There's been more than a few times I've ordered from the dealership and successfully told them "I don't have the VIN handy, do you want my money or not?"
Have you been asleep the last 9 months? Literally everything is delayed.
Including...
Your step dad is right. I've driven my YJ topless in some fairly heavy rains. As long as you keep her moving it's surprisingly bearable.
Worst part is that windshield wipers only work on the one side!
Ford has stated that they are in such short supply that they might delay delivery of models with modular top.
If they don't have it you can't order it.
I think it's safe to say that at some point in the future one should be able to order a modular top from their Ford parts counter, in whatever factory color they would like, Oxford White included.
Which is what the OP is talking about I believe.
I also think it's safe to say that nobody will...
It's made of the exact same material as the MIC from what I understand. The inside, where you can see the composite construction looks the same on both.
To the best of my knowledge you cannot powdercoat composites.
