I dont think that the door chipped the paint in the middle of the other pannel, most likley it was what someone drug across the door jamb area :( so not really Fords responsibility to fix, but an easy fix for any body shop
You can buy a real nice 66-77 model for way less than that thing
if you like the old ones, buy an old one
if you need comfert, get the new one
heck get both and it would still be cheaper than that 250K ;)
Ours was built in May of 23 so not part of the recall but going in on Tues. to get this same issue fixed, side glass in the hard top comming loose. Ford resisted at first because of its build date but then said that they would fix it :)
It looks like that is just the clip part of the wheel weight with the actual heavy weight part missing. I doubt that it weighs enough to do any balancing.
It prevents that unkown to you person who you hand your key to when you take it to your local tire shop, oil change quick stop or mechanic, etc. from making a copy that they could pass off or sell (with your address from the invoice) to a car thief
Going to keep an eye on this as we have a May of 23 built 2 door. when you shut the pass door with everything else closed you can hear the air escape from the rear quarter window like there is a spot with no sealant. It seems for now to be outside of the recall dates so we'll see if that changes
