New bronco with..... tailgate rubbing against body panel 😢

[Ig_bronco]

So I literally just picked it up. My fault for not fine combing it and tbh not much of a big deal anyway.. Back tailgate rubbing upon closing thankfully it's plastic on metal which the metal is the obvious winner no issues. See pics any idea on how to adjust it?

Those panel gaps are horrendous. Make the dealer fix that.

Those plastic parts on the rear corners are a common fitment problem. Probably needs to be taken off and reconnected properly.

I agree

Make them fix that door. The panel gaps show that it isn’t correct.

All good tips.. I should add I did email dealer. Hoping it could just be diy so I didn't have to drive 40 mins.. Thanks all

There is a recent post of an owner having this piece breaking off.

The 80's called and they want their excellent build quality back Ford

Sorry you have this issue. Not sure how that gets out of the factory looking like that.

The door alignment gap at top and bottom looks fine. The plastic trim piece next to the tail light assembly needs to be adjusted. Should be an easy fix. It’s not rocket science.

Same problem as mine. I also showed that to Esteban Plaza-Jennings from FoMoCo at Super Celebration West. It appears to be a common problem.

Yours has it. Mine has it. There was another owner/Youtuber who was there with his Bronco and his little plastic panel fell of of his.

My dealer is going to send mine into the body shop to have it corrected. I'm just waiting for the appointment.

It’s one Bronco with a fitment issue. It happens. Mine had a weird fit at the driver side dash speaker cover. I played with it a bit and fixed the problem. I think that’s all OP is after; a fix, not a pitchfork parade at Ford.

My Bronco was built today. This is not instilling confidence

I think it's more common than that. I took this photo the day I took delivery of mine. Ford's fixing it, but it's something to look for.
