Of course not. Can’t have customers calling the factory for every knob dial or switch. Clearly there is a supply chain. This situation is so sad and unlikely that I thought someone might ask where the lights are assembled and make a request. I’m guessing that if the dealer broke it in the lot...
Good eye. The light works fine though. I’m going to snap off the rest of the plastic and cover the sealed assembly with red taillight repair tape temporarily.
1200 each 500 deductible it’s covered but a simple phone call or two saves everyone money. Feels like I’m filing a false claim and I don’t like it!
Thanks the part # is13404 I have the schematic from the parts book. The lens isn’t listed as a part, hence the problem. I’ll probably just breakout the rest of the overlay and cover the assembly in red taillight repair tape until one shows upon the internet. Can’t bring myself to pay 500 and...
You sound like the dealership! I’m just annoyed that no one was even willing to make a call. The odds of breaking the overlay without breaking the assembly are astronomical. They didn’t even pretend to care at any level. Maybe a little compassion for a truck that was 10 days old. You are right...
For anyone not aware, the red plastic is a glued on overlay that I want. Ford won’t give it up or the manufacturer. 500 deductible is a lot for something sitting on the assembly line floor don’t you think! Sorry I’m getting jammed up again thinking about the fact that no one will make a call on...
It is a piece of plastic that is about 1/8 th of an inch thick with a flange. It is glued into a recessed slot that runs around the perimeter of the sealed unit. Separate part, but sold as a unit, whether it is manufactured by Ford or a sub-contractor I don’t know. Apparently plastic is...
Before I even bought my first tank of gas someone broke a taillight. At first I was really bummed out but my spirits were lifted when I realized that only the red plastic overlay was broken. They were faded when I was told that isn’t a part. It’s a complete assembly and it can be mine for $1155...
