BLK6T Member 305 Member For: 20y 7m 3d Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 07/04/05 02:22 AM Share Posted 07/04/05 02:22 AM I have noticed on my ute the plastic sourrounds that go around the little side windows are built very poorly. The plastic sourrounding the window is fading whitish and the plastic bit that runs parallel to the door dosnt align or even sit in properly. Do any of you notice this on your utes??? I saw a XLS ute today with a similar problem. Would this be a warranty claim to get it fixed??? If not how hard is it to fix. I find this very poor for a new ute. (Sorry but had to ask and whinge) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16812-anyone-here-with-utes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it sits OK, & my windoww tint will limit any fading.

It was replaced under warranty :-) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16812-anyone-here-with-utes/#findComment-240085 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll give it the aged and faded look without fail.Trent.

I'm not going to loose sleep over it. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16812-anyone-here-with-utes/#findComment-240788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
