Life after crack?

3rd rear hard top shell! 2 complete hard top weather seal replacements… 37k miles on 2022 and noticed a crack again today and honeycomb showing. POS Ford Product.

I have a 2021 MIC and so far nothing (although I wanna go check again now). I am wondering if there is a situational aspect to the acceleration of cracking. For example, are most of the cracked roofs in the south where it's hotter? Is it only on cars that are left outside and get hit by the sun all day? Is it only cars that have seen a lot of offroading? I'm not saying any of these are excuses, but I am wondering if it's not totally random as to who is affected.

I got a 2022 that’s had cracking like that on the driver’s side window panel for roughly the last year and it hasn’t gotten worse. I’m not taking a chance replacing it because I feel lucky that the rest of the top is perfect and it’s barely noticeable in that one spot.

The more you look for them seems to be common the accelerant, especially as warranty expires.

Last February I found a small crack just behind the rear passenger window. It has not gotten worse and I have not found new cracks. Hope this helps answer your question.

A year ago I found a few small cracks on the main back section of my 2-door top. Located near the upper rear corner of the passenger side door window. So far the cracks haven't spread or appeared anywhere else, knock on wood.

I have the honey comb and I have a 2024 with 18k. I kinda thought this was normal. Do you think you could have someone primer and paint the top to fill in the small cracks, imperfections, or would that paint just crack?

At this point I’ll never buy another Ford Product. I have nothing but trouble with this Bronco, camnphasers at 20k, oil pan leak at 25k new rear drive shaft, list goes on. I’m a Toyota guy and liked the bronco classic styling but will stick with my old 1980’ 70 series Landcruiser s I imported and love. Dead reliability and a solid car not plastic like bronco

I wish someone would make a decent looking 2dr hardtop. I'm sure the Armadillo is nice but I don't really get off on LARPing as an MRAP.

No it doesn’t.

I forgot I’d seen that. And yes it does look very nicely done.

Would look even better in tan.

This is what the future tan twill upholstered cracked MIC would look like….

Gotta do the flares too!
