Wife's '23 WT hardtop doesn't look right

[Razorback]

So wife has had her WT for a month now. I cleaned it yesterday after a trip down and back to Houston when I noticed the top didn't look right. Anyone else seen this? As you can see below, the driver portion is higher than the passenger side.

This one is from the passenger side. You can see molding folded towards rear of driver section as well as at the front.

Our other one is a soft top so I'm not familiar with how the hardtop should lay, but pretty sure this isn't correct. I've never taken the top off in the month we've owned it, but wondering if I should check it out or just let the dealership be the first to investigate. Traveling to TN in 3 weeks so hopefully this won't be an issue...

The Drive side panel does overlap the passenger side panel. Mine does sit a bit higher on driver side.

Yeah that doesn’t look right… Mine is a ST too, but agree with you… Might run a splash of the hose over it to test, I wouldn’t want to get caught in a downpour.

Normal, it's not the highest quality part lol.

You would have thought they would have looked at the rubber strip between the two, and said "can we make it look like it's not folded under".... Oh well.

That's the way it's supposed to be. But I would pull the panel anyways and make sure it's not folded under at all and reseat it.

I have a hardtop and it does not look like that. I would pop off the front panels and re-install to see if it sits more even with the other side.

It will settle with time then whistle and leak water. I am holding out for a 1 piece fiberglass top from a good brand.

Mine does not look like this, even after taking it off and back on. There is supposed to be a small overlap, it's not uneven.

Pics of your hard top looking like this? Think it needs to go to the dealer man. At least try taking it off and putting it back on.

Mine looked like that from the dealer, it's slowly settled in over ownership and now whistles a little lol.

That is one of those, it’s normal but not supposed to be like that issues on the Bronco. There is a TSB for te panels not sitting flush which I have attached.

Damn, mine was flat with just the stripping overlapping with 7 miles on it. There's definitely QC issues, but I think we knew that already from other threads.

I thought mine whistled but it was blower fan issues. I'm like, why is it happening when I'm not moving?

There is a TSB for everything...

I'll check with local dealership so at least the front is flush. The back of the front panels looks the worst though. It's like the rubber is pulling out.

Although not mentioned in the TSB, the brackets in back can be adjusted too. Mine needed it. And as someone already said, the quality on this top is very poor, including the weather stripping.
