I tried to make it pop several times, it just doesn't want to snap in place. Yesterday I started to disassemble it but kinda up when I was at the sub-woofer. Instead I called the dealer to check if my replacement puddle lights are already in stock and told them I want to get this gap fixed as well... they said ok, call back on Monday to check if the puddle lights are and make an appointment.
Except for the trunk at the top everything is fine. My trunk got better a little bit by twisting a screw about 2 turns up on the sliding mechanism where the airlift/pump is located.
Yep. Front wheel gouged to the bare metal, alignment out of spec, and steering wheel off-center. Took it back in to be corrected, and according to their own print-out, THEY MADE IT WORSE! Despite denying any responsibility, at least they refinished the ruined wheel at their own expense. I ended up having to take the car to another shop to get a proper alignment.
That sucks man. How much did the other shop charge you to align the panels?
Oops... just realized you were talking about panel alignment, not wheel alignment. I automatically think wheel alignment when I see "alignment". Sorry.
Of course they would dismiss it. Ray Charles is their QC at Ford unfortunately. The guys at my dealership actually gasped when they saw how bad my passenger side is so i know it wont pass their so called standards.
I took mine in last year for multiple panel issues, and a lot of them were adjusted with no issues. They scrubbed the trunk issues as "normal" since they had another convertible in the showroom with the same issue. A few weeks ago I took her back in for multiple small issues and also had them revisit the trunk lid issues, since that really bugs me. They had their body shop try and adjust the trunk lid and they apparently "cracked" the pain, so had to repaint the trunk lid. I pick up the car tomorrow so I'll be curious how it looks. I kind of expected them to replace the entire lid anyway so the repainting doesn't both me that much.
