Up close it looks something like this... Dealer can't believe Ford let it get thru, Ford can't believe dealer didn't catch it in PDI and the rest of us can't believe the ceramic guy didn't catch it.
Can you see the panels actually make contact in that area when the trunk is opened? I've touched up chips like that with the Motorcraft touch-up paint in the little bottle, and can't even tell it's there. Takes multiple coats to build up the paint level, then some buffing to smooth it to match.Called in the dealer today and spotted the same problem on a new unregistered car …
I haven’t seen that many new ones at the dealer (remember I am in the U.K.), maybe ten or so and this is the second forecourt car with this issue - that’s not a good ratio …
This car has no spoiler so nothing to stress the trunk lid or hinge, looking at the alignment it definitely sits low on that side :
Shame really, as the rest of the panels on this car looked pretty good and it was in a completely different league to the black one parked nearby …

That was a forecourt car so I didn't check it out properly or open and close the truck etc. Same for the other car that I have seen in the showroom in the past (or a private car I have seen on a local car park).Can you see the panels actually make contact in that area when the trunk is opened?
