ADV Production Modular Hardtop!

[PhilCharnas]

Hey ADV has been quick to respond to customers that have left negative reviews about their hard top orders on Google reviews.

I just read thru some of ADV’s responses to those negative Google reviews and good lord they are in complete denial over why people are upset. ADV, in every response, states that the only reason for the 1-star review is because of a failure by their suppliers - and if their suppliers had delivered on time there would be no 1-star review. Prospective customers, however, are criticizing ADV for their poor communication, month-to-month string along strategy, and avoidance of any responsibility for the delays. The concerns over the actual delays are secondary compared to ADV’s communication strategy.

I agree, there are much better ways to communicate bad news -

Blame it on the Deliveryman, etc., etc.:

Is the Anderson liner, the one that looks like they cross stitched together the vinyl from an 80's Chevette seat then glued it to the ceiling?

I'm with you on that one. Just looks like a stitched pad barely velcro'd to the ceiling leaking sound and heat into the cabin.

Maybe, maybe not. I would guess someone who has the top would chime in, but the ADV top, even the one that is out to TCCustoms has NO sound or installation. So I would say it is hard to tell what they will have for their installation.

That is of course if tops ever gets to people to begin with.

You‘re in luck because @ADV Fiberglass posted on Page 2 (11/1/22) that they will be posting pictures of the headliner in a couple of weeks!!!

True. Haven't seen any of these in person so really shouldn't judge, just my first impression from the pictures. Hopefully the injected foam ADV is doing makes a big difference. I wasn't impressed with the way they did the sound measurements what seems like a year ago now. Why not simply hold a dB meter at head height between the seats with the different tops.

Today I received an email from Anderson Composites that their modular top was now available for order if I chose to do so.
(No leadtime given in the email).

Tonight I received an email from Turn Offroad saying their hardtop would be available for purchase tomorrow.

Your shot ADV...

 

[CTwaterfowler]

technically ADV said next update in 30 days
HOWEVER, instead of waiting until dec 27th, it would be nice to get the CHRISTMAS PRESENT EMAIL today and make everybody happy.
ADDITIONALLY, TOR and ANDERSON are up an running and gonna steal thunder and orders if ADV doesnt send something out.
what about it ADV ------aside note---- im not gonna switch , just anxious. but from what I see, others are switching .

It's definitely hard not to switch at this point with Turn Offroad coming out with a solution that is not only cheaper, but will actually begin to ship when they say it will........

 

[O-BRONCO-O]

We've waited this long, anticipating a superior product from ADV. Feeling pretty confident it will ship as promised this time. When else along the journey have they provided batches and potential shipping windows! Though frustrating at times, switching now might lead to regret seeing those ADV tops soon!

 

[Ninjak]

Tossing in this update: Armadillo designs have now received their headliners, and are starting to incorporate them into the tops. From what was shown the material is very nice and very THICK.

The clock is in the final countdown. I will be very happy when my top comes from what I have seen.

Merry Xmas! I'm wishing all ADV customers their tops are in the red zone!

ADV has definitely moved the triple constraints model. Normally you can have 2, at this point there's a maximum of 1.
Cheap - Premium Pricing
Fast - Deadlines are getting birthdays
Good - Optimistic for a yes, but yet to be determined

ADV promised Jan 15 for first-orders. They have 3 weeks.
