They had to have saved a least a few bucks per unit on that. Really sucks that they don't think seeing out the back is worth a few bucks.I just tried this on wifes 20 Lariat crew cab and there is just foam and no hinges or spring , I guess they ran out of the tilt parts.November build.
Yep it stinks, I had some 1/2 inch dowel in stock ready to do but not dice. Oh well I just removed them for now. BretThey had to have saved a least a few bucks per unit on that. Really sucks that they don't think seeing out the back is worth a few bucks.
I figured Ford made the change for 2020 and was using up leftover 2019 parts.Yep it stinks, I had some 1/2 inch dowel in stock ready to do but not dice. Oh well I just removed them for now. Bret

Interesting as my 2020 was just built in October and they had the mechanism.I figured Ford made the change for 2020 and was using up leftover 2019 parts.
Sorry it didn't work out for you.
LOL, its a shame as it would have been an easy mod. Mid year changes on a model always makes it fun getting correct parts . Im sure they are catching hell with this covid 19 trying to keep parts flowing in on time. Maybe a different vendor, or maybe the vendor that made the spring setup is shut down due to covid ? Who knows . Stay safe, BretHi Bret,
I wondered if this was the case when the change was "Exhaust old stock" before incorporating the change on the line. This is a bugaboo of running changes and one of the reasons that Auto Parts stores are driven nuts with ordering the correct parts. You go in for a Left hand Widget for the suspension and the guy behind the counter asks if your key Fob is black or gray???? Reason, Fob color change occurred about the same time as the LH Widget change.
What a headache!

Just a thought: A couple guys posted that they removed theirs and put them in storage. Maybe they will sell them or trade for yours?I just tried this on wifes 20 Lariat crew cab and there is just foam and no hinges or spring , I guess they ran out of the tilt parts.November build.
