Ford will not cover!!! So much for Bumper to Bumper coverage. Now i have to go to safelite

Did they wax the window prior to delivery?

Not trolling, not a pushover. This damage was found after PDI and believed to be caused at an attempted break in when on the lot, before i purchased. The dealer showed me emails of progress to get the window replaced before sale, but without luck. Since purchasing in CA and living in MT. its in my best interest to get it fixed the correct way, by me.

The dealer should pay for the repair. I would not let off of this as it’s their responsibility to correct it. Send the safelite bill to them.

If done while in their possession, why are they not paying for it? Bailment?

Go to a glass shop and see if the can grind it for you...

I was thinking of smoothing it out as well, that may be best option right now. the window seals just fine still. Ill attempt to smooth it out first and if i come across problems later, just replace it.

You can even do it yourself with water and emery cloth

If it wasn't noted on the bill of lading if delivered during business hours or with 72 hours if dropped after bh, Ford/transporter will not cover. In most cases the dealer ends up eating this as "good will" or policy. How soon after delivery did you notice this?

Noticed AUG3 and delivered on July 25 so 8 days. Not something i would need to check, so i thought. It is what it is. I just want others to look before signing papers for delivery. Im not mad being the guinea pig. Just more of a heads up to others.

M2DZ-7821410-A $372.23 None is stock at any of the depots. Not worth a PO'd customer. If not policy the whole thing at least split the cost.

When you guys and gals take delivery don’t sighn anything untill you go over the bronco real good. Something like glass of you don’t catch it upon delivery dealer has a way out it will be your word against there’s and they will say it wasent like that upon delivery

Thanks for adding to inspection checklist.

Has someone comprised a master inspection list yet to share?

MIC seams and fitment and rattle
Soft top paint rub on bars

Are there other known issues people have been finding?
