Underseal at Zeebrugge.

[lennyb]

I collected my car from having its under seal done via warranty yesterday.

It was done in Warrington at the same Ford dealership as [MENTION=24591]angry343[/MENTION]

The issue with the stickiness has been that the TSB (there is definitely one) was advising for the underseal to be applied all in one go, this was far too thick and thus wasn't curing. After having experienced this with Angrys car, Ford in Warrington resolved this by instead making three applications at lesser thickness.

I took mine in on Monday afternoon and collected it Wednesday. Its fine & I'm pleased with the work. They let me inspect it and addressed a couple of very slightly missed patches whilst I waited.

My advice is make the body shop aware of the issue and ensure they apply it multiple times at lesser thickness, rather than all in one go. Tell them to contact Warrington for advice even.

Also, its deffo a TSB, so if your dealer are refusing insist that they inspect it on a ramp with you present. There's no denying it then. I did have to insist on them doing this, but they freely and openly admitted the issue when they inspected it.

Pics below:

Hope this helps with everyone's decision making.

Was it painted on or sprayed on ?,my dealer suggests they could only paint it on.

Much better ! I'll avoid telling my guy's about the TSB and just get them to do it normally. Should get it agreed soon... Ford called me and no files sent through lol!
[MENTION=24171]twold[/MENTION] it's sprayed on, they're supplied with cans of the stuff.

It looked to me like they sprayed it on?

[MENTION=16198]McDoodle[/MENTION]. Sorry it's taken so long, I don't have access to ramp so had to do some crawling

Excellent pictures. Many thanks sir - hopefully it didn't force you to get too up close and personal with the build quality

That looks like a half-decent job and so does the job [MENTION=23423]lennyb[/MENTION] had done in Warrington. Maybe Ford are finally getting on top of how to apply it properly. To me the sticky, thick goo clearly isn't right and Ford know it - otherwise they wouldn't have gone to all the trouble they did with [MENTION=12268]mkforks[/MENTION] car.

Still not sure where my nearest bodyshop is but I'd prefer to take it to one that's actually already done a Mustang, and done it properly - so it looks like Warrington or Gloucester at the moment!

Thanks again for the photos, much appreciated.

Hi I've been reading through this thread and will certainly be checking my car when it arrives

The Mustangs I understand are lacking proper underseal but are they waxoyled? Does this need to be done as well?

Well yours doesn't look gooey and sticky .

I'm expecting a call today, I sent off 30 pictures of under my car to the bodyshop yesterday, ford will call me with an approval hopefully later. :lol:.

Then time to book the beast in and get this shit show done with!

No, it's fully cured and looks good in my opinion. Am happy enough anyhow

Good luck with yours!

Thanks for the photos and information - really helpful. On the basis that it's easier for me to get a train to Warrington than Gloucester I may well try to book mine in there. Cheers ....

Does anyone know if they have sorted out the problem now with the undersealing or whether cars that have been arriving in the last month or so are still prone to the problem

I'm still waiting for warranty to approve; they have 33 pictures that were sent directly to them and I have confirmation of their receipt.

It's been progressing whilst I was on Holiday; had 4 missed called with voicemails to keep me updated whilst I was out. I sent an email that I was back and should be getting another call end of this week.

If unconfirmed yet; i'll complain again about how long it's taking.

I've requested my boot realignment and underseal. Boot should be a piece of piss; but rather they did it - underseal well... it's underseal :lol:

Had photos of mine taken on Saturday whilst in for its 3 month check and had that stupid sunglass drawer replaced. No heard anything yet
