Thanks! OK another noob question. How do you find your window sticker?

First off, you need to have had an order scheduled for production. A few days before your scheduled production date, the window sticker will populate.
To find it, click thru the "Track My Order" to link (in the email your received from Ford) to get to the pizza tracker.
Your status will tell you if it is available:

If your window sticker is available, below your dealer info you should see this link:

You're the best. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise

I have a scheduled production week, but not a date for build yet. So I'll just hang tight. I bookmarked that site. It works

Bonus info: At the bottom center of your window sticker there is a SPECIAL ORDER section. the last six digits is the date the Ford invoiced your dealer for the vehicle. Mine is 7/21/21 even though I am still stuck in production.

where is the modem activated show at on ford.com?

Sorry - if you go to vehicle dashboard - scroll down - and the boxes for WIFi hot spot and over the air updates will change once your modem has been activated.

I wonder if they scratched the roll bars how that would be fixed. You can't replace it and color matching and blending has got to be time consuming.

This is what a guy on Facebook told me about his build. He has a friend that works there that can feed him info. I asked him to help me out, but he wouldn’t do it. Assuming he isn’t making it up, this could be some of our issues.
I had a production date of 7/19 and then got bumped to 7/21. I found out they were having to repaint the c-pillars(probably scratched it with the soft top during assembly) we also then had ours put on hold because of a Bilstein shock problem! It's been over one month mine is still stuck in the in production phase, I was told by a gentleman at map it was going into final QC Monday

I hope the Squatch issue is just a one off.

This is interesting stuff! Besides the awesome how-to posts like the low-frequency filters for speaker replacement, this is the kind of stuff I come to this site for.

This is the second time I have heard the soft-top roof rubbing being potentially related to the "In Production" purgatory. I don't know about the shock issue because I don't imagine our builds would have been blended all the way to test results without shocks. -unless the "Billstein shock problem" is a defect rather than a shortage. I'm not familiar with this problem.

Assuming the delay has something to do with the soft top scratching the C-pillars, I would have to believe they are trying to implement a fix, rather than repairing scratches. I only make that distinction because I have not heard anything from Ford on such a mod. ha ha ha.
