I have the same issue and am pretty certain I’ve figured it out. When you flip the top back to the first position, look at whether the top hits a plastic piece with a pinch warning on it. It’s quite thin and sharp. I have this same issue on the passenger’s side of mine. The driver’s side is completely clear. I’m scheduling an appointment next week. The photo without it touching the top is the drivers side.Has anyone else experienced this issue yet? Luckily it’s small, but not sure what to even do about it? Going to take it in to the dealer and see what they say about it. Looks like it’s happening right at the bend when the soft top goes back
do you think with that small of tearing we would need to worry about further tearing? I would assume ford isn’t going to be like “oh hears a new soft top”
Personally I don't think so. Once readjusting it doesn't make contact with anything. I'm planning on getting a hardtop eventually so it doesn't bother me enough to go into the dealer for any sort of remedy
I plan to ask for a new top. I’ve had convertibles before and never had an issue like this one. I’d hadn’t just paid $50k for this thing and found others with the same problem I might not make a stink but they should address this for us. It’s not a big deal to readjust but it certainly impacts the convenience factor a bit. Also, I don’t think Ford will want to have hundreds for thousands of people with this same issue. It’s not good for their brand.
yeah I showed it to my father in law who’s a Honda dealer owner and he said absolutely warranty it doesn’t matter how small it is right now. Once I have taken in the car I’ll update this thread
Keep us posted!
This is exactly what I do as well as someone had previously posted about the issue. A quick thing to look for is that in the half back position, the canvas should be creating an S shape
