Perhaps a taped on spoiler would help?So now that it has turned colder up here in the north east it appears as though my MIC top has not liked it a whole lot.
Top pic looks way worse in person. Hard to get a good photo of it. It is cracked and very wavy.
In the second pic it was cracked this summer but barely noticeable but now they have exploded.
I've tried a less extreme example of that. Can't say the results were ideal.
Do you think cold and freezing water might have contributed to the escalating cracking? My top has a few small cracks, and I was thinking of applying something on the surface, to prevent water from getting inside the cracks, but not sure what.So now that it has turned colder up here in the north east it appears as though my MIC top has not liked it a whole lot.

Here is the same
Earlier I tried some 303 Aerospace Protectant on my Bronco flare to good effect. Maybe I'll try some around the small cracking area of my hardtop. If I can keep any water from wicking into the cracks, that could go a long way towards avoiding rot/freeze damage.Here is the same
section from the summer.
They were there but way more pronounced now. It took me 3 or 4 tries to get this pic so you could see them. Had to get real close to get them in the pic. The part across the top of the side window had no cracks in it then, but has them now.
It is hard to get a good pic of these. You have to have the right light and the right angle to really see it. Personally I think the cold did not help the situation.
Why bother? It's cracked. Have Fordshit replace it.
Yes but you have to pay extra for the painted MOD top. That said even though the MOD tops are constructed differently, they haven't been sold in volumes where we would know if they are as good as Jeep tops, although I've not heard of any Heritage owners complaining about them.
I've got two years left on the warranty, so at this point I'm not into the aggravation of trying to get Ford to replace, especially since the cracks are so small in one localized area, unlike what other people are experiencing. And maybe like some folks I end up with a replacement top having issues for the trouble. If the cracks grow and cause an issue down the road, then I will consider trying for a replacement.
