the dealer helps you out since you didn’t notice or document it during delivery is it possible it happened after delivery maybe a scorned lover or a jealous personI picked up my new Bronco on October 29th and completely missed this giant dent on the hood. It looks obvious in this pic, but I could show you dozens of angles where it completely disappears.
Anyways, does anyone else have a dent like this? I doubt it is any issue with the Ford tooling.
Does anyone have advice on how to take it out? I've reached out to the dealer but haven't heard back yet.
Never heard of a dent in a hood just from closing it I would like to think the bronco was made a little better than thatThat fleck comes alive in the sun.
Betting the dent is from someone closing the hood.
The hood can be hard to get fully closed. I read somewhere, because it is aluminum it is susceptible to denting if shove down when trying to do so, and it is recommended to drop it closed instead. I cannot recall where I read that, but I did because it made me think twice about the gas strut kit.Never heard of a dent in a hood just from closing it I would like to think the bronco was made a little better than that
After looking at old pics I can see that it was there when I bought it. I was overjoyed with the Bronco and clearly didn't notice the little details.......is it possible it happened after delivery maybe a scorned lover or a jealous person
I’m sure your dealer will take care of you if not show them the picture from delivery day should be time stampedAfter looking at old pics I can see that it was there when I bought it. I was overjoyed with the Bronco and clearly didn't notice the little details.
I wish it had been a scorned lover, that at least would have been a good story.
Hmm that might not be worth it.The dealer probably has a pointless dent removal person they go to. I would ask to have that done.
Absolutely.Good luck! Please post the final outcome.
take it golfing yet?Looks like a baseball hit it. Is there a kid named Dennis Deminis in your neighborhood?
Yes, it (hood outer) and the hood inner are both bonded together by a mastic typically, but on aluminum components, a special mastic which is more like glue is used, and is heat treated to cure. This, plus rivets are how Ford bonds almost all of their aluminum vehicles components together, a technique developed by Jaguar. Spot welds are rarely used. If you look at the swing gate when it's open, you can see little perfect circles here and there on the inner panel. Those are rivets.The hood can be hard to get fully closed.
