A Ford dealer posted in another forum:
"According to our latest Dealer News Bulletin which I downloaded yesterday, Job 1 now shows a date of June 7th. No idea of the whys or wherefores. Also, ALL 2002 job 1 dates and initial order dates were pushed back 2-3 weeks across the board."
Looks like the wait won't be getting any easier. The rumor I heard was there was a leak problem with the soft top and Ford was working with the vendor to correct the difficulty. Hope they have it fixed by my delivery date because we may be getting into our rainy season in California by then.
