I remember when this happend to my ute when I put a hardlid on it.. those marks are from when the black nobs spun when drilling out the rivit.. I actually had to clamp it with plyers so they wudnt turn when I drilled them out and wallah.. it worked.. I managed to polish them out but under the sun u cud still see them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll come Deal. Hows Sat night soundWell that really sucks, now I am going to a after market place to get mine hard cover that's for sure.Thought that dealer seemed pretty good, well I might just forget about factory warranty and start moddingDo not buy the Ford hard cover. Go after market.Oh and screw warranty too.I remember when this happend to my ute when I put a hardlid on it.. those marks are from when the black nobs spun when drilling out the rivit..

If it is they must have improved from BFs to FG as the fit is pretty good on mine. Sorry to here this has been such a pain in the ass mateCheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to the sales man and they dont fit them at the factory anymore on the FG's so yeah they must have got a different supplier then dealer fit it.

I got in the tray and loosened all the screws that hold on the hinges while my father in law w moved it as much forward as possible with still keeping it aligned and I now looks 10 times better then before. It took about 5 minutes.I will post the before and after pics hopfully tomorrow.f*ck you ford *beep*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
