Hmm interesting. I could've swore I read that a few on here had their covered under warranty. But maby not. Disappointing nonetheless that I'm spending even more money to complete the build, but I'm already committed.
That you did. Mine was covered under warranty in May. I don’t know the reasons, but I’m speculating a parts shortage on the dash panel. As it isn’t highly visible, Ford decided to ship without. Something they couldn’t get away with the Ford blue ovals. Can’t ship vehicles without the Ford logo/trademark. Honestly, if I were picking mine up this month and it wasn’t under wareanty, I’d request a $100.00 discount to the purchase price. Yeah, I know the part is only half that, but I’m going through the hassle of ordering it, paying for it, picking it up and installing it. Parts, labor and an inconvenience fee (for having to do it myself). Seems fair to me.Hmm interesting. I could've swore I read that a few on here had their covered under warranty. But maby not.

Wonder if I need to call Ford myself and make the arrangements?
I'm hoping this panel will help minimize the rattling I hear under the front passenger dash. It's rather annoying while driving and I hear a rattle over my music on 15+
Many had their dealer add it for free under “warranty “. All I’m saying is it hasn’t been shipped in a vehicle since early 22 as far as I have heard. My panel was made in April so it should not be a part shortage for everyone. Just my opinion. I’m sure for 40, Ford corporate would approve it. We do this all the time. Something out of warranty approved but not really under warranty.Hmm interesting. I could've swore I read that a few on here had their covered under warranty. But maby not.

Honestly, I heard no difference but then I think the standard radio sounds just fine so that needs to be taken into account!
This whole ordeal is becoming much more complicated then it needs to be. My dealership has had the part for a little over 2 weeks now and haven't heard much of anything. I got in touch with ford directly and was told they were looking into it and would get back to me. I get a call yesterday from a Ford Rep that was looking into it, put me on hold for a bit and was told that I needed to take it back to the dealership and have them look into it and get it fixed up.
I could've done that the first time and installed it myself, but didn't want to pay the $40 for something that could've easily been warrantied. The fact that I would have to pay $40 for the panel itself, because my dealer was too lazy to actually follow up with a warranty workup, infuriates me. I just bought a $45,000 vehicle and made sure it was noted it at time of delivery. My dealer has always done right by me, but this entire experience just sours the entire relationship overall.
So it was noted at purchase but dealer bozos just want to jerk you around even though they ordered it and have it in stock?
Ya, I actually held the panel in my hands 3 weeks ago. Opened the box and everything to confirm the part with them. But, I can't have it unless either I or Ford pays for it, which is to be expected. But since my dealership just kinda sat on it for 3 weeks doing nothing, I had to go in today at direction of Ford and waste an hour+ of my time only for them to tell me they haven't gotten it taken care of yet to make sure it can be warrantied. So I have to go back "again" to have them "install" it themselves if warrantied, which is fine. But I expected this to be done 3 weeks ago....
folding rear seat head rests after calling Ford they said it's not on the list for my bronco VIN # I did get the panel for the passger side from the dealer no cost to me
I've posted elsewhere about the headrests, but FWIW we were able to get them (for free) but only after a lot of back and forth between the dealer and Ford.
