Gotta be honest it held up better than I expected, there probably is body damage where the rack mounts and on the places it stabilizes against the body, but it worked.
By chance to you use Rain-X or something similar? Using it has drastically reduced my need for wipers in the decade I have used it, so therefore I don't use the wipers above the lowest 2 or 3 settings very often if ever.
I got my VIN in November of 22, and it was delivered to the dealer in December of 22, so I think Ford might be shortening the gap between VIN and delivery these days.
After watching Tinkerer's Adventure's Youtube video (called "Articulation vs Sway Bar | Not What You'd Think!") I started thinking about the possibly of adding a rear sway bar to my 23 badlands 2 door (non-sas). My quick searching through the forum missed anything about others trying this...
I am looking for a divider (for a 2 door) that can keep a fully grown but full of energy yellow lab from getting to the front seats. I know if I buckled her in she would just pull and scratch trying to move around, but my hope is that with a proper divider things will work out well.
