I'm not sure if that is normal. I'm used to German cars so I'm seeing little things as well that look kind of off or not as polished as I'm used to.

But both the weld and the paint finish look poorly done. I'd take that in to the dealer.

I just took a look at mine and I have a clean weld and paint coverage there. However, the paint is a bit sloppy in that region. It's actually too thick with what look like paintbrush lines.

How does the left side look?

I've seen similar stuff on other makes/models of cars, although never visible with the doors/trunk closed. usually it's in similar locations, inside nooks and cranies.

My car looks a bit different back there but I think it is because you have a convertible. So I'm having a hard time orienting.

I think you could get Ford to clean that up though.

I'm also surprised by all the painted over bolts and rough spots I found back there too.

I guess it's not that serious but I'm surprised the European market they are going after can accept that lack of attention to detail. It reminds me a little of 1970's era manufacturing.
