This has become boring and depressing.

“The biggest risk is losing sales to early adopters who move on to something else.”"

I don’t think Ford is too worried about this. I’d rather wait another YEAR to get a hard top Bronco that I don’t have to worry about leaks and rattles.

If anything i’m worried that they might put out hard tops that are “good enough” to get past the warranty and that’s it. If they need time to get it right.... give em time.

No rumor about it, the hard tops are absolutely the issue. Nobody will get a Bronco by end of Spring. Yes some will get them during the summer, but 100 Broncos a day during the summer is not what they planned but it gets a few out there I guess. Most of us will be waiting a while.

Where did you read that they are only supplying 100 tops a day?

This is my greater point...this forum acts like an old ladies sewing circle, with gossip and rumor spun into a larger conspiracy.

Maybe I am unduly optimistic, but will be shocked if this is an issue that substantially impacts deliveries.

We will see.

Knock yourself out. By the time you get all of that up and running it’ll be 2 years from now and Webasto will have figured out whatever problems they have.

Come on Nick, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity! Get in on the ground floor! I will make you communications director!

There would be even more issues if you had several companies making hard tops. This one is too dark, this one is too light, this one is too thick, this one is too thin, this one is too long, this one is too short. It would be a nightmare.

I once worked on the same part for two different companies. I was the main fabricator at one company ( my fixture designs and processes) and just a welder for the other company. Contract was split that way to speed up delivery by the prime contractor. In the end, although both parts worked, they looked quite different and had to be assembled a bit differently.

Obviously mine were the better parts, or at least I thought so.

With all the issues and delays I am sure I wouldn't want one of the first ones made. The problemd they are having with parts supply is really a problem. I am getting tired of waiting. At this point is there any possibility that Bronco will be put on hold for a long time?

This has become boring and depressing. I feel like we have been stuck in neutral if not reverse for the past six months. If Webasto and whoever else can’t get the job done in a reasonable amount of time which they obviously haven’t been able to do so far then Ford needs to kick them to the curb and find somebody who can.

Agreed.

But you should cancel your order.

If they're not worried they should be. There have been people on here (who I'd consider some of the more hard-core Bronco fans) who have already purchased something else. I'm holding out for another week / end of month... if no VIN or reasonable estimate shows up I'll get something else because I can't / won't wait until next year, and it won't be a Ford (a first for me).

I think ford should worry about this. I am guessing the average person that reserved a bronco are not like us and would not be willing to wait another 6 months to a year considering they have already been waiting a long time.

I read them...tell me the part where they said there were delays due to MIC tops?

I get that it is popular to feel angst about this process, it seems mostly undeserved, IMO.

You got that right!

I do have a CyberTruck reserved.

It will be interesting to revisit this in late summer. Was Chicken Little right, and the sky was falling, or are am I a sucker for not sweating the process?

I do know, me being upset wont make anybody move any faster. I'm good regardless.

Hide? I found you!

Another emo-thread? Come on man, not from you, you're the comedian of Bronco6G.

You don't want that CyberTruck either. You already went on and on about how much you didn't like that new Blade Runner.

It's Saturday and getting warm, so you want your rig to go muddin', so do I, but this summer will be a wash for everyone from how things look.

I'm a worst case thinker anyway, so I resolved myself to next Spring when I'm likely to get my rig. Think I'll hold out and not move to that Defender 90, but boy is that thing starting to look better and better every day.......
