Sent you a PM....thank you !!!
BTW, it's not a cling on...it's a real decal so I had to take extra care to get it off in one piece without damage with a razor then slowly peeled it off...

I like the sticker. Not sure if mine is crooked... how to determine crooked on a curved angled plane? But it does have a few bubbles... I'll try and debubble it. Here is the sticker from my 96 Ranger that I removed to keep...

Hi,

Very cool. alas that the plant no longer exists. Torn down at the end of Ranger production in 2011. Plant started in 1918... lot of history in the old plant, Quite quirky due to age, final line had sidewinder in it..Sand tunnels below when they made their own glass. Dam in the river supplied power..back in Thomas Edison days... loved that plant. Bar down the street great for dinner. Simple menu.. one walleye, two walleye or three walleye.

Best,

Some trucks were built with pride. Others were just built?? I'm surprised built with "pride" isn't considered offensive in 2019........

I have that sticker on my truck, if I can get it off in one piece, I'm more than happy to send it to anyone who would like it. Free of charge. Kind of guy I am.

If interested, let me know and I'll try to get it off this weekend.

Mine was full of bubbles, so took it off. Stuck it to some decal backing paper, so could probably be re used if anyone wants it. PM if interested

Anybody happen to know where I could get a duplicate of the lower corner front window "Built with Pride" sticker ? My Ranger didn't have one, and I'd kinda like to have it, as I'm a big Ford fan....

Thanks !!

My decal was applied haphazardly with wrinkles barely adhering on one end. Hope they put more effort into the rest of the truck.

I like the sticker, and I am leaving it on to show my appreciation for all the good Ford folks who worked so hard to get my truck just exactly perfect!

Mine is kinda rough looking too. I may try to clear out the bubbles. My old "09 Ford Plant sticker was put on with Pride!

I too find it ironic the “pride” sticker looks so shabby. Thinking about removing mine because of how it looks but I do like the sticker - but not the “install”.

I removed the decal when I got home with the truck. I didn't like the location or the decal itself.

What @RANGER_MARC said. While no vehicle (even a hand-build Ferrari) is really perfect, a large percentage of employees at most American assembly (and manufacturing) plants these days, TRULY STRIVE for perfection. Sure, there is also a significant percentage of employees that could really give a crap, for various reasons. Bottom line, for those at Michigan Assembly that strive, I leave the sticker on, bubbles or no.

I left mine on as well for the same reasons - PLUS I realized that BOTH of our vehicles were built at MAP. My Ranger and our 2016 C-Max which has been an excellent vehicle for us. The good folks at MAP have built two fine vehicles for this family.
