Oh for sure! I’m not saying ADV hasn’t made a huge blunder here, I was just saying I don’t think it’s necessary to disparage the customers that haven’t bailed yet.

I've always said I hope the people who paid for these tops get what they paid for. Definitely would prefer not for anyone to lose any money. And we can always use competition for tops on the Bronco.
But the whiff of exit scam is real. Even @CTwaterfowler moved on to TOR, and I thought he'd wait til the bitter end because he really wanted their top.
The best case is I'm wrong. Otherwise, some people gonna be hurting and that'll suck.
It definitely seems suspect. I think people should really start worrying about scam status when refunds stop happening

Well, last month they announced they were going to stop doing refunds in lieu of deliveries (in July. NO August. September? What year...). There was some 30 day notice or something, so perhaps we're still in that period. But I was a little surprised they got that refund.It definitely seems suspect.

you are correct that i really wanted the adv 1 piece, BUT after the debacle with the weekly updates turning into 20 business day updates , turning into no updates, i figured that i had had enough. I remember in feb when I signed up on tor and got a shipping date of 8/19 that i thought that there was no way adv would drag out the delivery of their tops until then. BOY WAS I WRONG. here we are almost in august and monday i am expecting my details on my top status and STILL NOT 1 FRIGGING ADV TOP HAS SHIPPED. or at least nobody posted it shipped on 6g. I still believe adv is trying to get the tops shipped but that having CHINESE COMPANY dispute has tied their hands. remember the final assembly FA, which ended up on the various videos that the customer had to do. install rubber, install headliner, install wiper assembly. also they never posted the installation process on the order website, its coming soon. I really hope they start shipping, but i was never so relieved as to when i got my refund by wire transfer. the adv top is very beautiful, but the tor is also a fantastic top from what i hear from all the 6g posters . I am really looking forward to getting it on my bronco.

Rally Tops started making there tops shortly after ADV started to take orders. They have been Quietly making tops since early 2022. I'm glad I switched my ADV top to a Rally Top.
Waiting on the rubber took too long, and a mistake was made, so it'll be another 18 years now before the tops are released out on their own.

Final assembly by buyer
More like total assembly by buyer. For the most money of any top and actually voids your warranty. Actually everything including washing it can void the warranty. Between the wait, lies, assembly, cost, and complete lack of warranty I question anybody's intelligence who buys one at this point

At this rate, Ford will do a design update for the Bronco (who knows when though), making these ADV tops useless for newer models.Waiting on the rubber took too long, and a mistake was made, so it'll be another 18 years now before the tops are released out on their own.

I was in group 1 and waited FOREVER!!! I requested my refund in June. I was told I would get a check within 20 business days. 21 Business days later I sent John yet another email to see what was going on. He sent the check a few days later and the check actually cleared! Phew! So glad to be out of this nightmare!

You know “buyer” is such a strong word. We here at DVA like to view our customers as partners in business. Our job is to design and our partners job to assemble. It’s truly a joint venture.Final assembly by buyer
