If anything I thought they wouldn’t be able to increase the price like they planned due to the competition.
Wow I guess like you guys said they are trying to recoup the refunds they lost

i guess with no news email so far, that means there probably is nothing worth while as far as updates to be sent out. Not like, we are churning them out to ship in a couple of weeks. my batch 1 happy feeling is going into the shitter. maybe late january/feb/march.
STAY PUMPED
ALSO NO INSTALL VIDEO EITHER

I for one would have kept my order if they just once leveled with everyone. Even knowing it would not be made at their shop. After they supposedly got the gasket material (in April?) and didn’t deliver everything else was a lie. When TOR made it on the scene it was a no brainer. Kinda like giving lunch money to the school bully I’d never be able to look at myself in the mirror, no way were ADV getting my $$$.

What's also strange is that there STILL isn't any video showing the sound deadening head liner, unless I'm wrong?!

I feel the same here. Yes, they answered all of my check in emails, and it was really hard to see that timeline and how spread out they were, yet still here we all are waiting on the same news.
As I said earlier, the communication strategy was abysmal here. Sure, more info was given about revisions in the last video. How does that square with the other excuses of labor shortages and supply chain problems? Either way you slice it, facts were concealed and people were deceived.
Will they get the tops out? They have to at this point, or the whole place goes under so they will. But, any brand equity they wanted to build with this top solution is kaput.

What was it 30 days before shipping there would be an install video? If they finally stick to something it would push out group one by a few weeks more. Who knows anymore. On a positive note I haven’t heard of a cargo ship from China sinking or losing cargo in the news.
Really do hope you guys who stick it out get a quality top. I very much wish I could get a one piece myself.
edit: getting stuff of ships does take way longer than expected sometimes so no need to panic. No matter what they say at this point it won’t help. You will all probably simply have a truck in driveway in a few weeks with no notice

Illusions of a product or service, to be delivered, if only you pay in full, up front.
A fool and his money are soon parted!
(I'm running a year end special for 2024 Home Remodeling, pay up front, in full, and we promise, we really will deliver, really.
Please venmo your payment in full to fools@bilked ventures.)

I patiently stayed with ADV since June and even defended them on this forum, but finding out the tops are made offshore (most likely China) was the last straw for me. It's not just that they are made offshore, but I believe they have been stealthy about this and the real reason for the delays is spooling up overseas production. I was already on TORs list, so I canceled and went with TOR for a Feb delivery. So far the communication and experience has been outstanding, and I'm liking the looks of their top, especially the aluminum mounting points for top carrier compatible with OEM. I could care less about a rear wiper/heater, so this was a non-issue for me.

Turns rear wiper is supposedly coming soon as an add-on option. I’m sure it’ll be sometime this year and at a reasonable price, if we can go by their current top release timeline and pricing. Never really know til it happens but Turn gives me more confidence with their overall hardtop experience in the Jeep world.
Starting to wonder who is in charge of the Advance marketing department. I mean they were sure to put out the price increase email, and even then they did not have info on the hardtop increase...it would seem they would be more diligent in giving the people who have purchased some better info.
I reached out to ADV today to inquire about the infamous install video and to see if they were still expecting to ship on schedule.
Here's the responses I got:
The install video will be out before you receive your hardtop. You are a part of Batch 1, which starts shipping in mid-January and will be fulfilled before Batch 2 starts shipping in mid-February. You are closer to the end of Batch 1, so your order will most likely ship closer to the end of Jan into Feb.
