Well, Ford has been changing its story every six months. Why would they start being honest now...?Ford keeps saying that the MIC hardtop issues are merely cosmetic but based on some of the things I am reading in the 6G forum I am not sure I believe that. Seem to be several examples of leaks or holes in the Bronco's MIC hardtop...

Keep in mind that Ford really hasn't delivered that many Broncos yet and Fall/Winter hasn't come. To make things worse, Ford is storing thousands of these Broncos (dubbed #BadBatchBroncos by the 6G forum themselves) in a recently cleared field in Michigan called Dirt Mountain while these vehicles wait for new hardtops to be manufactured. If it is the case that the Broncos have chronic leaking issues then I can only imagine the damage that will be incurred while these things sit in that field.

They will be complete tops for the exact reason you said you would be worried about. Ford cannot afford to screw up the replacements. They will not chance a local dealership to fit/install windows.My concern, if I had a Bronco, would be that the replacement tops will probably be sent without windows. The each dealer would have to remove the glass from the old hardtop and install it on the new one. Just another potential issue for damage or poor workmanship. There isn't a dealer out there who has a tech that has any experience built up with the new Bronco.
