Quality Issue in my 2018 GT Premium or Normal?

[crimson_crowd_eater]

I was driving the other day and sat in the passenger seat for the first time as I let a friend take my car around the block. That's when I noticed that my passenger side has a leather and stitched knee pad, something that my driver's side does not have. The knee pad for the driver is a hard piece of plastic, which is kind of out of place in the GT Premium. I looked up pictures online and it seems that every other car has stitched leather pads on both sides. Did my car get a mix up on the assembly line? Is there any away to contact Ford and get a new pad? I know it's just a small thing, but I would actually like to get all the pieces of my car that I paid for.
Attached are pictures of both pads.

Premium owners everywhere just went and looked in their car

I have a base GT so I can’t personally verify, but if you can provide the same proof to your dealer then I would suggest taking it in and telling them you want what you paid for. Any good dealer should be able to accommodate that request.

Yeah, that was my thought too. I mean I guess if it's required it would probably fall under some warranty or something.

Yep and mine has the pad on the driver's side, so I'd say this was a screw up.

I wonder what else Ford forgot in my car. It was an early 2018 model, had some software issues too, but those got fixed fairly easily.

It should be stitched leather if you have 401A

And that I do.

Mine is solid gold.... but I could be lying and it's really leather!

OH MY GOD - how horrible.

My first thought was that the dealer switched it figuring you’d never notice it. May have needed it for another car. Of course it could have been the same guy/lady in Flat Rock that put the analog bezel on the digital dash.

Pfffftt...sounds like you cheaped out and didn't get the Secret Platinum Package.

And I feel terrible about that!

Lol feel your pain on this one, though i suspect yours will be a quicker swap then my guage issue lol. Just contact dealer and it will get taken care of.

So, did you get to the dealer? If so, what happened?
