Fellow forum members suggested the unlucky Bronco owner reposition the off-roader to face the wind, the idea being the front latches are the most secure. While other members dismissed the claims, saying it’s a convertible and is to be expected, the owner believes this is unacceptable. For Ford’s sake, we sincerely hope these two incidents are isolated occurrences that took place in extreme conditions, as further delays and quality issues will only hamper production.
Hardtop owners can, at least, find solace in the fact that aftermarket companies are working on an alternative to the problematic factory-supplied item. Advanced Fiberglass Concepts recently took to Instagram to give its followers a sneak peek at its latest development. With two options offered, customers will be able to select a higher-quality alternative that hopefully won’t leak. If more owners come forward with problematic soft-tops, Bronco owners may have to look to the aftermarket sector for a resolution.
