These tops are being replaced by the hundreds. How are some dealers still so incompetent that they don't have the process down to a science by now.
Didn't even think of that; assumed it would be there. Will check.
At my dealership, mine was the first hard top replacement. It's possible others are aware of cracks and are waiting until near the end of their warranty period (which doesn't make a lot of sense to me), or have cracks but haven't noticed them. It took over two months to get mine replaced. First top was damaged in transit, a window was broken during the swap, etc.
Would it be $600 like if you ordered with original purchase?
No, it would be the full price of the top. Think in the ball park of $15k give or take a few thousand.
It's also very possible most just don't have cracks at all. I know a lot of people on here have had issues, but that doesn't necessarily make it as wide spread as everyone assumes.
Well, there's also the posts where people examined all the Broncos on dealership lots, and EVERY one of them had the cracks. Plus, the people (more than one) who went through 5 replacements. So, I'd wager otherwise.
I do that too whenever we get a new Bronco in off the truck, or have one come in for service if i have time to go look just out of curiosity and I have seen a few with some slight cracking.
That would be a no.
I never said that. I only said that there were batches of totally defective tops on dealer lots.
What Ford should do is offer any owner of a defective MIC top the option to take the painted top and simply pay the difference between the two. I'd go for that just to get something more reliable.
When mine was being replaced the 1st time I started talking to a salesman that also had a 23 2dr so we went to check his out. He said he hadn't had any issues with his top but I quickly pointed out cracks starting on the lower corners of both passenger and drivers side windows. I walked over to the only two other 2drs on the lot and they had the same cracks starting. We have 3 2drs in the parking lot of my work and all of us have the same. Here is a pic of my replacement. While it does not show any cracking yet the waves and honeycomb showing through is a whole different kind of crap.

looks and said didn't know that was a problem. So then I said take a walk with me and I will show you the ones cracked on your lot. He was not cracking jokes after the walk. 
He said of all the Broncos they sold no one has been back to say anything other than me. I said because they don't see them, they are not looking for them, they do not expect it to be a problem.
