ADV Production Modular Hardtop!

[Kjbeggs]

I could see batch 1 slipping to January ‘25.
Oc course you then have to factor in delays for Christmas, Thanksgiving, March Madness, The Eclipse, Flag Day…

Anderson posted they have delivered 100 tops so far

TOR is prob not far behind or beyond that by now

ADV is running out of real estate. Ford is entering the market eventually haha

I have finally been told by my local shop that my Anderson Composites top is ready to ship…as of last night. So maybe next week I’ll have my white Anderson Composites hard top…only 11 months after order.

I am 1 of 10 beta testers of the Advanced Fraud Concepts top. You guys should all be ashamed of the way you’re picking on them. My top is wonderful and is far superior to the OEM and trashy aftermarket tops out there. Look how good it looks on my area 51 Bronco! Remember, patience is a virtue.

Does it leak when it rains?

If this were a soap opera, what would it be called? Some ideas:

- Too Many Days of Our Lives
- As the Deadline Looms
- The Bold and the Topless
- One Top to Live
- ADV's Hope
- From May to December Again
- The Agony in Wait

In a previous post I think I mentioned that I was speculating ADV to receive the first batch of tops sometime this month and then would start shipping out sometime in May. All a guess however… but this was around when they sent the email regarding the order status which happened to be around lunar new years. That meant the plant in China would be closed for a few weeks with no movement in production.

At least ADV has been posting new videos which means they might be getting closer to the first batch of tops arriving. If there was no movement there’d be no point in releasing videos. Again, just all a guess.

Um you realize they have been posting videos on the hardtop for a looong time now. Not exactly an encouraging way to to measure their progress in getting them into customers hands.

So when they say they have the "quietest option on the market", are they talking about the hardtop or the communication to their customers

Rain is an issue but on the plus side there’s no squeaking

It’s super quiet, can’t hear a squeak, a whistle or a rattle…can’t hear anything about shipping either.

Well, there have been zero issues reported with their tops noise level…

Yeah, but they've been operating this way the entire time. Posting teasers and install videos while sprinkling in information about rubber, labor shortages, etc., only to turn around and reneg on timelines that were promised ,time and time again. It's a tired joke at this point. I was one of those customers that held on to hope for a lonnnng time. The day before I asked for a refund, I went back and looked at the videos of sound comparison, durability, etc. And I saw how long ago it was.. It felt shameful to think that I believed what they were selling at this point. I'm so glad I got out when I did.

So no one from the first batch has got any production update or shipping notification ?



I guess the next couple of weeks tells the story about the last story which has been the same story

I asked on Monday and was told middle of May shipping.

early batch one reservation.

I am not optimistic, just hopeful
