My issue is kind of minor. I have a Badlands with the orange accents in the interior. However, the passenger seat back has a black elastic cord instead of orange.
I know I could just leave it black, but I thought I would get it replaced under warranty. Simple fix right?
Talked to the dealer and they filed the warranty claim and ordered the part, M2DZ7860762AA. Well it turns out this seems to be the WHOLE seat back insert. The dealer didn't show me the part and I forgot to ask. They said I would need to drop it off because they would need to REMOVE the seat to replace the part because there is a strap on the bottom of the seat back that goes to the front of the seat. (I need to get a mirror under the seat and check that out.)
Seems extreme to replace that little net.
You would think it would be an easier repair because people will break that string and probably the net too. I would think you would just have to pop that trim piece out that holds the "string" and net and just replace the "string" and net. (right side pic) and pop that U shaped trim back in place.
And no I have not tried to pop it out because I know I'll break it. Ha!
I did remove the "Bronco" bolts to see if the panel would pull away from the seat back...it didn't budge.
Any interior part experts out there that might have some input?
