I noticed that the paint on the bottom of all of my doors on my 2021 Sport is chipping off due to poor fit on the hinge side of the doors...
Will repair the paint myself, but has anyone found a way to prevent this? Have a good product to cover with to protect the paint and aluminum?
See pic...
They were able to just adjust my hatch slightly and it has fine clearance now! I'll live with the slight scuff on my bumper, and just used a paint pen on the edge of the hatch and its not noticeable.
I'm happy that they're doing something about it this time!! I wasn't alive during the Pinto controversy days, but I'm sad that Ford's attitude toward safety doesn't seem to have changed much...
Our winter has been cold and not too wet, so I actually haven't seen any leaking for a few months...
Friend of mine who works for Ford told me it's because they allow water to drain through them, rather than pool above the wheel wells and increase body rusting... who knows!
Interesting! Doesn't explain why mine has leaked when sitting still in a flat parking lot... however, it's been raining all morning here and I just went to check and the floor is bone dry! It makes no sense.
My dealership is planning to take the whole dash/windshield/pillars apart if we can’t figure it out ? I’m optimistically hoping it is an easier fix than that though.
Mine has it too, plus similar denting above the pillars/below where the the roof rack attaches to the roof. Came like it from factory. I just sucked it up because I like the vehicle and waited for it... but it's definitely annoying and people definitely have noticed it.
I reached out to them, but because I'm in Canada was redirected to contact the Ford Canada social media peeps... hopefully they'll have an answer for us Canucks!!
Wow, I've had a few chips in similar spots. I have the bubbling paint around the tail light (dealer said "it's just how it is, it's on all of them" and ignored it), and larger chips around the lights that I've repaired with a paint pen. I've also had "stone chips" on strange places, like my...
Nope! I went out when it was raining last night and the AC vents under the passenger side dash felt a bit damp… now I’m wondering if it’s coming from there?
Legitimately only when it rains! Noticed it first a few weeks ago but thought it was from wet feet because we had been in and out a few times, but this time it was there first thing in the morning after a heavy night rainfall when the car had been dry the day before. Dealership took the visor...
At the dealership now... but wanted to see if anyone has experienced water leaking into the cabin when it rains?
I'm noticing a small puddle on the passenger side floor every time it rains. I tried to convince myself it was just water from shoes, but it's definitely a leak from somewhere...
I thought about that too, but nope - not ending on a 5/6! Maybe my fingers slip and I hit the 5 by accident? I'll have to try being more delicate in my number pressing haha.
Yeah, my issue is that when using just the code for the driver door, the rear glass is popping open too... not even the whole lift gate, just the glass! And not every time, just sometimes, randomly!
