Ford Refused Warranty On This! Bubbles on Sun Visor

[Palooza]

I park my ford bronco outside during the summer. One day I went to get something in my glovebox and noticed two bubbles on my passenger visor. I assumed it was from the heat but I’m still not totally sure. I brought it into my local ford dealer and they refused to warranty it. They said it was physical damage I’m assuming their conclusion is that I did this myself. Then I got quoted for $200+ repair. Hoping someone on here has some advice or can help me get this resolved as I’m coming up on one year of ownership and being outside that warranty.

Yeah I could see why they said what they did.
Totally looks like something hit that...

Was there a garage door opener installed there?

Looks like an aftermarket flip down sunvisor mounting clip.

Here's the part info from Levitown Ford (I'm not affiliated with them). But the entire assembly for the passenger side is $108 + shipping if you want to go that route and not battle with the svc dept. Someone may want to double check the part # for you before you order.

I've seen people with scorched sun visors after parking near a building with reflective windows.

That appears to be damaged from something being pressed against it

oh yea, that's def. from an impact of some type of device, opener etc.

Title should say: "Ford Bronco6G Refused Warranty On This!"

Sure looks like something was clipped onto the visor, especially with the scrape/press marks between the big sections of stretched vinyl.
Was it a sunglasses holder? looks to be about that size

This will take care of it . And cover up those stickers.

That might’ve been from some impact, cleaning wipes, or a garage opener putting pressure on the sun visor and the damage finally showed up due to the heat but I can see why the dealer denied the claim it does look like something physically caused pressure/damage

OP knows exactly what happened here. There’s absolutely no way for this to be “Sun” damage. Of course Ford denied warranty. Something was mounted there and dug into the visor when heated. That’s called Bunching not Bubbling. That’s crimped and pressed enough to distort the underlying foam.

This would have been a better thread if titled PSA - Watch What You Mount to Your Visor in Extreme Heat

Ford, would this be covered, asking for a friend

 

[vbrad26]

But did you wax it?
