Trim piece warped by heat!
Trim piece warped by heat!
Hi everyone,
Below is a pic of what we found when we got into the truck late yesterday afternoon. The truck was parked with a sunshield inside of the windshield but the windows were not cracked. This has to be from the heat, as the area was not there Friday when I cleaned it.
Anyone else seen anything like this?

I am in Southeastern Georgia and it has been hot. Highs in the low 100's, but the "real feel" is close to 115-125!

That almost looks like there was a bubble or something under there and the heat drew all the air out, kinda like when you vacuum seal a bag or something. Time for a dealer warranty visit.
If they do I would be busting some heads
UPDATE:
I went to the dealer on Monday - delaer said they had to take pics and send them to Ford for review/approval for replacement. I was told I would get a call on Tuesday. Nope. But I got it today - and Ford denied it. The claim it's from a "chemical". Unbelievable! The dealer says its from heat as well, but now I have to wait for the Ford Rep to come by so he/she can look at it. Apparently he/she is the only one that can over ride Ford.
Anyway, I did get my squeaking rear fixed......
I'll post the results.

BTW, the part retails for $99 and I have found it for $66 online. I know Ford probably pays about $50 bucks or less for it.
