Damn doors are to close together and touching when the door gets closed.

Your doors touch when closed?

Jeez, I've seens some nasty panel work on Fords but that's appalling. I'd be making FoMoCo fix it. Hell, I'd be checking they didn't smack it and do a rush job before delivery.

Vik,

It reall ysucks that you buy so called factory options and it turns out that the factory doesnt install the option. It is whoever the local dealer is gettign teh biggest kick back from for giving htem the business.

The tint guys I think are Workign at the dealers no stop but are still not part of the dealership and the alarm is fitted by another company. When I buy factory fitted I want a factory fitted and therefore known functioanl and factory repairable option. Not something that I have to take to ford hten they take it somewhere else.

I think the car companies should fix this part of there service up.

Anyways.

Lets hope teh repair goes well

Your doors touch when closed?

No they dont touch all the time only when you like close the door hard. My kids dont know the meaning of soft so they bang it often.

Unfortunately, all this "aftercare cr@p" like alarms, and paint protection is a load of :spoton: . There isnt a great deal Ford can do about it, because the dealer organises it all! And the dealer makes a lot of money out of it!

I have had an even worse experiance. I noticed when I brought the car the bumpers ( front and back ) didn't look right. Appeared the have thin paint. About two months ago I noticed the clear coat close the the fog lights was loolking oxidized. Was going to take it into the dealer to get it sorted but I washed it before I left and a big chunk of paint around 50mm by 60mm fell off. Now its in getting redone. Not a happy camper.
