Has anyone else had this problem? We have not taken off the top when we noticed two cracks on either side of the top. We have not done anything that should warrant this. I'm kind of upset because I haven't had this car for more than a month and it was not pre owned it was purchased new so I'm not sure if this is something that is covered under warranty or not.

Hey! I can take a closer look into your cracked hard top concern. Can you please send us a direct message with your VIN and the dealership name/location?

Yes. Mine is at the bottom and not by the window and is smaller though. Fortunately doesn't appear to be leaking. I thought the dealership ghosted me but it was actually @Ford Motor Company that has been debating whether or not to warranty these (which they legally have to) I have wanted to take the top off but have been concerned it would make it worse. I was advised to use it as it was intended and enjoy it. If the crack gets worse within normal use including removal I was told it has been documented and it would be replaced if it got worse. Yours is worse so you may not get push back but seems @Ford Motor Company is overwhelmed by short comings and supply issues to the point they are trying to moonwalk out of their warranty requirements.

Damn, that sucks. Can't believe Ford still hasn't gotten their crap together with these hardtops.

It's the supplier's fault, not Ford's. Ford gave Webasto the design and Webasto whiffed on the execution.
