Put me down as also experiencing this. It's primarily a passenger-side issue, but lately I've noticed it a bit on the driver's side as well.
Just hit 25K but it's been going on for some time already.
Yeah, these stupid zip ties.

If you're in the NW, go to Les Schwab and spend between $180 and $220~ (light or heavy-duty) for a set of chains. Keep the printed invoice. If you upsize tires or swap vehicles and the chains are no longer useful, they'll buy unused chains...
Ah, that. It's a quick and easy settings change in Forscan, if you have the ability or know someone who does. Otherwise, your dealer can make the tweak on your next visit.
If I ever had to buy a black rig, I don't think I'd ever actually wash it until the day before I traded it in. The dirt wouldn't bother my OCD... the scratches definitely would.
The new-to-me Badlands had about 2,000 miles on it when I loaded up all of our SAR gear and tools - and the two Springers - and headed for the Tampa Bay area last week.
The bulk of the gear got thrown on top in one of those Reese cargo bags so the dogs would have more room and I'd have a spot...
You know, I've seen some stupid accessories for all manner of vehicles, but... just wow. This is like the adaptor cable that drives a Harley speedo off the wheel of the trailer that carries it to Sturgis.
This.
The glass quality in the Bronco Sport is no better or worse than that of the multiple FJ Cruiser windshields I've had to replace, or the F-350 windshield that catches a ton of rocks, or the Mini Cooper glass that split while being too aggressive cleaning bugs off of it in the sun.
Crap...
