O Trader Member 88 Member For: 16y 1m 18d Posted 19/07/10 07:34 PM Share Posted 19/07/10 07:34 PM Does anyone know if there are still issues with the hinges / brackets / bracing now used on the FG Bulge type hard lids or has this now been rectified or the dealers have now had more practice installing them.Also who paints them EGR or Ford or Dealer ?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for bracketing, you mean the sh*tty way the central locking works unless its adjusted perfectly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate has a lowndes xr8 with the buldge and wing hardcover and it hangs over the tailgate by 15-20mm can stick your fingers in the gap. My slimelime one doesn't fit the best either rubs on the cab, and the struts were upside down from factory, I tried adjusting it but it doesn't fix the problem.

I much prefered the fit and finish of the Ford factory fibreglass lid on my old BA ute. It fitted heaps better than the plastic sh*te they are using now and boy is there a difference between the build standard of the two vehicles.

I like the darker version of those wheels too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trento Member 9 Member For: 13y 10m 8d Posted 07/02/11 09:31 PM Share Posted 07/02/11 09:31 PM I had a massive overhang problem at the rear with my hard lid aswell. But one day after work I took the time out and took it all off and see what was going on.Brackets were way to far forward. Just modified the brackets a bit and she's all good =].
