Neither can I. It's a German company, so you know the tooling and molding is high tolerance, it has to be. Unskilled workmanship stands out to me. This by no means is webasto first rodeo. I can see upper management pushing for product pace to catch up for demand too. Any one of several scenarios could cause this boondoggle.

We were building like 4 to 1 broncos to rangers for a few weeks.
Now we are doing waaay more rangers and less broncos... Fn sucks.

Yeah...it looked SMALL...do you own one? Would make sense why you're so butt hurt over my comment.

Actually not much....it's my wife's Vehicle and she isn't into all that.

But that Bronco...so Big and Sexy....no.

Still Doesn't look bigger. But THIS Bronco isn't as ugly as the Sport for sure.

That jeep looks like the size of the bronco sport. Good comparison.

See what ya did there. Negative, the Wrangler inside looks bigger than the “Big Boy”. Might be the layout because it’s a smidge bigger than the Wrangler. But I’d have to sit in one to truly compare.

Yeah definitely need to go sit in one. The bronco definitely is more roomy inside than the jeep.

Update on the the hardtop. Apparently webasto was waiting on parts from Wuhan since the start of the pandemic. Ford has now steeped in to help with tooling spending millions. I was told they are back up running but cant confirm. Interesting read if you're waiting on a hard top.
