So the gaskets are glued in place? Does that mean you won't be able to take the roof panels off anymore? I am actually thinking about selling my 4-door FE because I just can't stand the wind noise. It's bad at 35 mph, it's torture at 65. I can't even imagine driving it across country as I had...
Century Ford, Mt Airy Maryland honored MSRP, Desmond in sales and Joe DiGeorgi GM were patient and responsive to all my questions over the 15 months. I think if someone asked them to not drill the front plate holes before delivery, they might have been willing to hold off. Would definitely buy...
I was told by the dealer that you have to use 2 people to remove the rear roof panel. Do you think an average size (5'9") person could remove it without torquing or damaging the panel?
Sound advice! Will get some quotes. I live in a rural area so not sure I should trust local body shops. May take it to the nearest "city" for a quote. Hate trusting Google with the outcome of a First Edition repair. Will post pics of repair. Thanks-
It's worse than I thought. The holes left after carefully removing the cheap plastic plate holder are extruded and very noticeable. Dealer won't replace front bumper. So should I take it to a different dealer to have their service dept plug and paint? Or would I get a better result if I take it...
Ok I am confused or something is wrong with my First Edition. I went from a 99 Silverado owned and driven since new to the Bronco. I had spent a summer with a friend in a 79 Bronco years ago and loved it so ordered on the first day as soon as reservations opened. Got it in Oct.
The road noise...
I have a First Edition that I am increasingly unhappy with because if I even twitch my toe on the gas pedal when highway driving, my speed drops 10 mph. I have never had a turbo engine before so I may just not be used to having to keep the gas pedal firmly depressed every second of a drive...
Nah just getting a feel for whether my pissed-off-ness is excessive or a reasonable reaction. Thought it would help me decide what tone to use when I email the GM at my dealer.
So far I think I am within normal to be upset about this "surprise" addition to my brand new First Edition. It boils...
So when I picked up my First Edition the dealer had drilled 2 holes into the piano black metal of my front grill for their cheap ass license plate holder. Didn't ask me or warn me beforehand. Said they "had to" because a front plate is required in Maryland (tho not in my state.) I am so pissed...
Nothing worse than getting blinded on the road, so yeah that option's out. Having trouble pulling up the website on my phone so will check them out when I get home- thanks for the lead. Hope your Bronco arrives sooner than later. Twenty years of fun from now, hopefully all this Ford fiasco won't...
This no-drill bracket looks cool- have you installed them? Did you also buy the zroadz LED lights? Would love opinion and pics if you have them. I might buy these today for my FE
I suspected that was the reason but hoped it was something like gas-powered struts fail with frequent off road use (the reason I used to always get manual crank windows). Oh Ford.
My mother used to call that kind of behavior penny wise but pound foolish lol
Ok ordering one of the others tonight
