Tips/Key Things to Inspect Before Accepting a Mustang from the Dealership?

My 2021 gt purchased feb 28th has a misaligned rear window with the upper left corner visibly lower. I don’t really care but it is the only problem I’ve seen so far.

Can you share a pic please? I'll keep an eye out.

It’s hard to see the glass from this distance but you can see the brake light looks tilted but it is square with the roofline.

Key thing to ensure.... that the interior door liners are both the same. Here we have a beautiful 2021 Mustang Premium Convetible with only 36 miles on it. I immediately felt something was amiss. The passenger side door liner is an alcantara suede material. Most likely the California special type. The drivers side liner is leather. Hmmmm. Does this make it a unicorn or a defect? If this was on your new car, would you let it ride?

The salesman was baffled. No one ever noticed.

100% would rock, like the uniqueness it adds!

I'm 6-8 weeks out, but have an order placed for a GT Premium.
I'm hoping to have a checklist put together for the day-of so I'm not blinded by the excitement.

Any general, or Mustang-specific things to look for (paint, stitching, engine) I should check before I accept the vehicle?

My dealer put it on the lift and invited me to inspect the whole car with his service manager with his supplied flashlight. 3 original miles delivered and we’re going over it which lasted well 45 minutes. Went over pre-delivery check list with salesman & service manager along with completed inspection form. Had HP front spoiler and wheel arch protector put on before it left the service bay. Make sure they give you the yellow shipping spring rubber blocks. Enjoy your new ride !!

Any particular reason why you need the shipping blocks? (I mean, other than if you need to ship the car)

Proof dealer removed them.
If flat bed doesn’t have correct ramps to load car in case of emergency.
Nice to have everything Ford delivered the car with.

That makes sense, thanks!

Thanks for thinking I make sense, some around me think, maybe not - haha

Photo of yellow blocks please, great looking car!

I also told dealer to do pdi only no way I want them to run through or have their detail crew clean it but may be harder to inspect
