Greetings,
Has any ~2019 Bullitt owners noticed any pitting or rust spots on chrome trim around door/side windows?
The grill appears fine, but plan to Iook it over again as soon as I can, in some sun, when we get some. Rain/Flooding has been bad here for days on end.
Been busy since we got car, as we just lost an Aunt to Covid, as well as close friends mom. Both were in Nursing hm's, but no idea if covid was involved w/friend mom
Have not taken car to the detail guy yet, to look at paint correction or any other possible treatments.
Looking into film/ceramic coatings, or a bit of both. No track wrk likely, as i hav race cars, & bought this to just enjoy it more, and hopefully mod less..but tuff to resist.
Im bias as a new owner, but I really think this s550 body is the best lookin horse in the glue factory. Glad I went this way vs used zl1 or 1le, even though they are more car. I really like the Bullitt. Helps the wife does too. Just bummed a bit over the glass & rust pitts. But its fixable. Just know what happened when they redid a window motor on the Lariat.. screwed other stuff up..
I reaslize its no gt350, but to me it is a nice car, and id like it to look its best.
Maybe the detail guy can work on the chrome? Or not.
Any thoughts? I have had a brief conversation w/dealer, by ph, and they are awaiting pics.
Also, anyone w/s550 have any streaks in glass that are not on outside surface or inside surface, but appear to be within the laminated glass itself?
Its my drivers door window, bk near door handle, and in the right light/ angle,
( lack of light actually may make it show even more) shows up as sorta a blueish/ green colored vertical streak bout ~1/8" wide.
Its just not on inside or outside surface, but I believe within the laminated layers..
Im no glass guy, do Im not able to properly judge it.
This mystery streak is about an 8"/10" long streak line, running vertically above where u grab door handle to open dr.
Does not travel fully, top to bottom, of door glass. Not bubbling, like my 70 stang orig glass edges, but bad enuff its annoying once u know its there.
Im just not savy to what this
"1st 12 months" coverage , vs, the overall 3/36 coverage, and what each covers.
I was told you have a more thorough/ better coverage in 1st yr 12k, than in rest of the entire 3/36.
It sounded like BS to me @ time, as it came from the finance guy.
While going over general routine stuff, likely leading up to the big EXPENSIVE extended warranty they want u to buy.
This warranty conversation was long before these 2 items came up of rust pitting & window streak thst appears to be inside glass itself. Last thing I really want is to change/replace a door glass,
and possiblly goof up a smooth operational door window ..
Ive been thru it on mtr window replacement under warranty @Ford dealer..
The trim may just be adhesive and not clips, i hav no idea yet.
Id prolly just powder coat trim black if its on my dime. But grill seems & looks nice to me as a feature,
so im not sure im ready to do anything like that, if warranty covers this chrome.
Thx in advance for any direction on the issues or how to deal w/warranty claim.
Ive stated im really new to forum "etiquette" and the abbreviations. So bare w/ till i can get it all right please. Likely posted in wrong place as well.
