Gotta just go for it

Nov 26, 2022

Well, after a long wait I was finally able to take delivery on Tuesday. I was checking it out and opening things up when I found a good size chunk of paint missing. We lifted the back of the soft top for the first time and there is bare metal exposed that slams into the paint. Luckily my dealer can get it in Wednesday, but I am not sure how long they will need it, how easy or hard the fix will be, if it will need a new top. Makes me sad I will already not be able to drive it for a little while. Wish me luck.

That's disappointing! I hope they get it done quickly and it looks factory at the end.

Wow, sorry to hear, Broncy. Killer looking OBX, though. Hope you’re behind the wheel again soon!

Me too, I thought we looked over it good but that shows we didn’t look at everything. Definitely one your back when you pick it up lol. I’ll keep everyone updated.

It was a nice day to go topless. I wish I could have but didn’t see much purpose in going top off with the windows up. Just got them tinted.

Oh nice! It was still nice even with the windows up. My toddler is as obsessed as I am. Every time he gets in he says he loves my red bronco and his new car seat. And he loves it when I turn it off and it shows his car seat to check the back seat, he thinks it’s the coolest.

No fun. But its in a good spot for touch up + as long as the vehicle runs solid you're in good shape.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

Dropped off today, hopefully it's not too long of a process. My dealer was great, got me in a loaner and all taken care of for now. Not sure what they are going to do, I'll let you know. The sales guy did say that he looked at a co-workers top and it looks like it might be the same, if anyone has a chance to take a look at their top and let me know if it looks the same. Thank you

Dealer was doing the install for my swing gate table and discovered thin paint on the inside of the swing gate. Bare metal would have been visible when the table was installed. They repainted the inside of the gate, installed the table and returned the Bronco to me in less than 8 hours.

Oh wow, that is nice of them. I thought I have seen others said the tailgate wasn't painted all the way under the cover. I'm glad they got it done so quickly.

Well, I finally got it back today, the spot they fixed looks good, can't really tell where it was fixed, they put a small piece of PPF on both sides and put some plastic cover that was not extended like it was suppose to be, although it doesn't look like that is what it should be, it looks like it will work. The handle had a deep cut so they fixed that but that turned out horrible, you can feel it, it is very rough and it is not sitting properly, there is a large gap between the handle and the door. And, I have 4 good size dings in the hood, not sure what happened, the tree they had it parked under had some very large acorns falling from it, one was on my roof, I'm assuming it is from those. Needless to say it will be going back. Ugh.

Thank you. I feel bad, like I'm being a pain in the butt, but your right, I then think about how much I paid for it and how long I waited for it, it needs to be exactly how it should be.

Really sorry to hear that. I hope the dealer gets it working correctly for you.
