Hey, so I'm at the dealer now picking up my bronco. Noticed a slight raised area in the hardtop at the rear that looks like a small crack. Is this a crack and how has this group handled this?

I would not take that top. Need to have them order another one.

Yeah that is a crack and there have been others posting photos here in the same location. I would file a warranty claim and then pray a lot they cover it.
Have you ever had the top off or tightened the bolts? > Oh...I saw you are just now picking this up. Have them photograph it and get something in writing that it came that way. Definitely demand a new top.

I have not. I have not filled out paperwork yet and have been inspecting the vehicle for about an hour here at the dealer.

I edited my post. I would have them document it (that it came that way), have them and you photograph it and demand a warranty claim and a replacement (not a repair....repair may not hold up over time). This is a known issue on this forum and Ford should be aware of it by now too.

make sure you have it documented and signed by the dealer in your hand.

Will do. Thanks for the quick response fellas.

Side note... everything else looks great, and that stero really is trash (n). Excited to have the Bronco finally.
