I absolutely LOVE my glass roof! I'm not worried about it opening, I get plenty of air with the windows down or I can crank my AC. It's my favorite option I chose by far, and it gets a LOT of attention. If you enjoy being in the sun without burning, the glass roof is amazing! Just my two cents.

Thanks! I'm so happy with it... I know the wait is painful but it's very worth it once you get it. Hope you're guys come sooner than planned!

Message Deysha our Ford rep on here and she can help fill you in on the process times of your car. Hope this helps.
I am a veteran with regards to ordering cars. I was also told 8 weeks. I was more or less surprised that the blend date was 4 weeks post VIN. It's typically a much shorter lead time once the VIN has been assigned.

i could not believe it either when i saw mine. everything was going so fast and they said i was a priority 01, then i get the window sticker and its 4 weeks until the build date, so its at a stop now until they build it, 3 weeks from tomorrow.

I feel your pain. It was funny. When the GM sent me an email early last week with my VIN he indicated that he had spoken to the Ford rep to help expedite my build and thought the car would arrive the 2nd week of April based upon the thought that the build would take about a week once the VIN had been assigned. LOL

I'm with you, I think the glass roof is great, if I was worried about it opening I would just get a rag top. the first time I test drove one I knew it was a must have! Not only does it look great on the exterior, but is gives a great and unique view on the inside that also brightens up the cabin.

Just checked the web site and it shows my car waiting shipment. Don't know if this is true. Guess I need to contact Deysha to get the real down low. ETA now shows 4/4/14

I hope it shows up soon for you, but the wait will be worth it once you get to drive it!

My eta is showing 5/31, which is 12 weeks, 3 days! so much for having priority 01.

Well I was just informed by the dealer that my ETA should be the week of 5/1/14. We shall see. Just hope it's before 5/17/14. That's when my $750 expires.

that would be great, and since we are getting built the same day, hopefully mine comes in early too, but mine has to come to phoenix, az. my $750 expires 5/9 i think, i may have to try and order another to see if the date is extended.

Hey bud, I read your post. It isn't your dealer doing that but Ford itself. Their new inventory system shows ALL cars the dealer has including inbound sold units for customers. Cars that aren't even there yet. Ford revamped the dealer locator over a year ago and before the switch, sold retail units never showed unless the retail unit was over 30 days old on the lot (and that only happens when a deal falls through.) Now everything shows. I know this as my customer's 2014 GT500 showed up on our site early last year even though it was sold. Nothing to worry about as it was sold.

Its just a stupid way Ford shows inventory now. I don't like it if you ask me. When you call, they will say the same thing. Just wanted to alleviate your concern & worry.

As long as they're not letting anyone who asks about it take it for a test drive.......
