Bronco Sport Roof vinyl wrap

[JohnT.106]

Hello , I've been to two auto body shops , both have said my roof is the result of Ford Factory wrap resulting in the appearance of my roof now , pics attached. They've declined to work on it untill I talk to Ford about this .

 

[Dude]

Haven’t seen Ford factory wrap, just paint. Are you sure it was not done at a dealership or a 3rd party shop .. are you the original owner?

It has melded with the roof paint I believe . I noticed it a year ago called ford , they said they've no idea what I'm talking about , wad a customer service person , and apparently they don't covet cosmetic ?? ,

I'm not the original owner, I got the car with 12k miles , the body shop guys showed me the wrap goes into the upper door jams and is perfect there , they say it's the ford factory wrap but what caused it to blend into the paint and become horrible looking , they've no idea

It's all one piece of wrap

This thread has me thinking about my 24 Badlands Shadow Black roof. The Ford website for the BS Badlands model lists the roof under exterior features as "Shadow Black Roof" while the 24 Order Guide lists the the standard roof for the Badlands as "Painted Shadow Black Roof" When looking at the underside of the rear hatch near the hinges while open it looks like a wrap to me especially since it is as shiny as the piano black plastic parts that are next to the roof. Does the Shadow Black Roof get chips like the body paint or is it more of a scuff mark if a rock is kicked up from the road and hits the roof above the windshield? I feel like it is a different material from the painted body parts.

For OP, 21 Bronco Sport order guide does not mention Shadow Black Roof on lower trims as an option. It only lists "Shadow Black Roof" as standard on Outerbanks and above trims but does not use the work painted in the description.

My ‘22 Badlands has the Painted Shadow Black Roof. The roof gets chips just like body parts and not scuff marks like on the Paint Protection Film I have on the pillars etc.

The 2022 Order Guide shows:

‘22 Base, Big Bend:
Roof - body color

‘22 Outer Banks, Badlands
Painted Shadow Black Roof

Optional:
Painted Carbonized Gray Roof

I am glad to know that it chips like paint. Does the inside of your hatch look like the picture I posted with my comments above? If you look close the black roof (wrapping?) wraps onto the inside edge of the upper right corner of the hatch and upper rear pillar about an inch. I have never seen anything like this before and never had a two tone color before so nothing to compare it to.

 

[Dude]

mine looks exactly like you pictured and I initially had the same thought as you however the order guide states it is paint and the shop that put on my PPF said it was paint.

I do agree with you about it feeling like different material.

Let’s see who else chimes in on your post perhaps with a definitive answer!

I am pretty sure that this is not Ford factory work. The Base model you have did not have a two tone option from the factory. It was body color roof. Thus, like with the Big Bend trim, if you have a black roof (save for the 2024 BAP), it is an aftermarket job,.

The auto body shops, ford did thus wrap to give it a sporty look ? They seemed quite positive it was ' ford factory wrap ' . Anyways I can try to bring to ford again , different dealership and see what they say . Wasn't the first body shop I've been told it's a factory wrap

 

[JohnT.106]

Man what awful work for some one to put that on ,

Guaranteed it isn't a factory wrap. Get a print out of the window sticker.

I’m confused. If it’s not a factory wrap, which I am inclined to agree with, then shouldn’t you be able to pull up the wrap and see the original roof with its original color?
