ADV Production Modular Hardtop!

[604Bronco]

@ADV Fiberglass - Can you comment on if these tops are manufactured/assembled in the USA or overseas? I was always under the impression they were made in the USA and parts came from overseas, but just curious.

Pretty sure all products need to disclose where they're made, hence the little stickers on everything stating "Made in ______."

Thanks.

Edit: Their website also states "Made in USA." If it was just "designed" in the USA, it should say as such, so I'm hoping ADV can elaborate and put all this to bed.

I got the same video in my email and hope that I am in Batch 1 or 2 (first day, first hour order). Mine will not ship, I am picking it up in CA.

If they're really made in China, it won't be long before someone in China will be selling them.

Didn’t get the email. Does that mean I am not in batches 1, 2 or 3? I guess I should give John a call.

When did you order

When did you order

May2023 with a promised 12 week delivery lol. Not expecting to get it anytime soon but he did say they sent the email to ALL of their customers who ordered. Just another broken promise I guess…

I also wouldn't panic either. When I was a customer of ADV's, I wasn't getting any of their email updates - Nothing in my inbox or "junk" folder. However my order was in their system, so it might be some other technology gremlin.

Imagine being able to order a Mabett hardtop off Amazon for $2k in 6 months

While I would imagine they have non disclose,copyright etc, hopefully backed up with a letter of credit or something along those lines. That is one of the many risks you have to take if you a dealing with companies in of all places china. Sometimes , it's not worth taking the risk.
I bought a prefabricated aluminum folding t top for my cc.
I had to cut it down 3 inches so I could reach the rod holders.
I'm fine, but almost all my tall friends are hitting their heads.
But. The welder who did the cut-down told me he couldn't buy the raw aluminum tubing for what I paid for the top I don't know the adv is made, but I would imagine it would be a lot more for them to make it.
This is a big factor.
As I said before, if it passes adv quality control that's all that matters and it could be made on the moon for all I care

That ain't English.

Im just thinking out loud here but my guess is that they are having them built overseas and having big problems with the manufacture and quality control...they must have found out there design had flaws and had to go back to the drawing board?...hence the delay?

It doesn't sound like they are in house building the tops but I could be wrong on that.....would luv to get some intel on this..

Hmmm, I had my suspicions on this....the lack of work force was an oversea work force

After watching the newish video there was a lot of "back to the drawing board" scenario and delays with the top..

Interesting.

I still will say that if they had been transparent about the revisions, and redo's, that answer would have satisfied many people.

Hopefully, people who ordered now will receive their product and be happy.
