Calling all 04 f-150 owners

The other week it was brought to my attention that My Ford logo on my stearing wheel looks cracked. It's actulally the the lettering from the inside which looks cracked. Does anybody else have this problem?

I do not....but I also clean my vehicle every weekend and we don't get alot of direct sun in STL to heat up the vehicle...

...if you are still under warrenty....I would take it to the dealer for a replacement.....otherwise you could always get some of those vinyl overlays everone seems to get.....(like a custom KR label....assuming your name refers to owning a KR)...

Mine still looks good, but then I've also only put about 20,000 miles on it in the last 2 years (rode my Harley all this summer, so I've only put about 2200 miles on it in the last 8 months).

I had the Ford Logo crack in 3 of my 4 center caps on my polished aluminum wheels. They first tried to tell me it was vandalism.

Yes. Looks like tiny little cracks, or the facing is coming loose from the backing around the outer edge. Hadn't really bugged me though. Since it's at the shop now, I'll tell the service manager to have it replaced now that I'm thinking about it.

What about the rear cab window rubber trim. Any body have that kind of flaking, like fading effect?

My steering wheel logo is fine, but my tailgate emblem has the black paint flaking off. There's a new one on order at my dealer though!
