i was a 7/16 blend date, 7/19 production date and was excited like you. Now I'm bummed because it appears the MIC tops are having huge problems to the point, I'm not sure they will send my built 4Dr Base 2.7L Sasquatch MIC any time soon. Not to be a buzz kill, but unless you've ordered a softtop, I would temper my enthusiasm.

My guess is that many, if not most, of the MIC tops that have been delivered to date will need to be replaced. I am starting to think, the entire design of the top will need to be re-engineered and new production begun. This may take what will seem like an eternity. Many built Broncos are in limbo with no communication from Ford. Ford is not asking for dealer softtop builds, if not enough customers don't switch to softtops. If you're a MIC top and don't yet have a VIN, it may be a while for you. If you have a VIN, it's anyone's guess what will happen with your vehicle. My hope is that Ford ships our Broncos quickly with the MIC tops they have and figures out how to fix or replace them later when the inevitable problems start. My fear is that they might hold out Btoncos on the rot lot until they build new tops. That would really suck! Sorry if I sound all doom and gloom, but there's some bad stuff going on.
I think there was a group of you that must have gotten those bad tops and are now stuck in purgatory. It seems to be limited to your group though. Other MIC Broncos are being built, shipped, and received every day. All those that got pulled are probably waiting in some parking lot waiting for extra tops to be changed out. Unless Ford comes out and says “soft tops for everyone” I dont think we will have issues.

Who told you the actual build Day? The dealer? All my Ford communication has only had week of notifications
the dealer can see it. So can the sales staff.

I have the exact same build as the first two posts... got my VIN on 5/26 with a build date of 7/26
Ditto, but an OBX. 2.7 lux sas MIC. 7/26 build pushed to 8/16 week. Looks like a lot of us 'loaded' builds are grouped together (and pushed together) although I noticed this a couple weeks ago. Already sold my car, so I pray to have it first week of September if possible.

Seems like everyone in this build week is either a BD or a BL so far. Haven't seen any other trims.

build in sig
Oh nice, there's another trim. Did you get modular front bumper or any bash plates? I don't see them in your sig so I am assuming no.
