Does anyone have any information on how the new Webasto plant is progressing? When will it be online to help reduce the supply vs demand shortage on hardtops?

No wonder they have issues with panels not matching, scaling, etc… :-)

I thought the MIC tops were made in China?

I think some of the components/tooling is made in Italy.

Maybe in 2024 if you are lucky, we haven't even hit all the fiascos that are coming with the MOD's yet, MIC is just the warm-up
