Windshield recall

[SteveH]

A week? They must use beetles to eat away the old organic adhesive. I am just north of Newark that I see in your signature. I thought it would be a 1 hour job.

That's what I thought as well. The recall is being out sourced. Perhaps that is why the wait is long.

Oof, this is in my build date range. Thanks for the heads up. Hoping for a quick resolution from Ford.

I would say you are lucky its that quick I had my local dealer take 12 days to fix their own damage on a door by repainting it in house.

Hopefully everyone gets a quick resolution or at least some kind of vehicle assistance

Gorilla Glue will fix anything ?

I’m a former Sport Trac owner, therefore I have Gorilla Glue.

Mine is going in August 29th and they said plan for up to a week. Being sent to a body shop and a glass shop will also be involved. Getting a loaner.

Still not sure I want mine messed with. If they want to do it while the bodyshop has mine fixing the paint damage and dent from shipping I guess they can do it

I'm likely in no hurry on this one.

Same.. Not sure I'm worried to much about this one at the moment and I don't want to risk mine leaking

This is a pain.
The last couple windshields I had put in on other trucks by professionals put them in
crooked and ended up with paint issues. I'm really hesitant to do anything.
Doesn't a recall only come up if it goes for sale or trade in and has to be state inspected......

Where did you buy your Ranger?

I thought I checked my build date and I was out of the range. My wife came in with the mail yesterday and told me we had a recall notice for the Ranger.

I probably screwed up the date of build check (I thought mine was built a little before the date window in the CR article).

The windshield in my Ranger has a slight imperfection in it on the driver’s side on top which is very hard to see, but there to see if the glass is clean and the light is right.

Looks like I will get a chance to see how good the dealer I had singled out to try first here locally is….

PS - I will make sure the glass is clean and hopefully the light will be right when I bring it in.

Vanbortel in Fairport. They bring them to a body shop on Mondays. Any problems and I have Kittys number ( from problems with their Chevrolet location screwing up my new Silverado she bought back) so I have confidence in them doing it right or taking g responsibility.
I see people saying they are going put this off but I feel it's better to get it done while the techs are freshly trained and doing them over and over. Wait a couple months and it may be the guys first that would be scary.

Small world! That's were I got mine!

They will do my 22 ranger August 16th. He said a couple of years ago they recalled f250s for the same thing. Had 250 vehicles that didn’t do the recall and not one of them failed. Take it for what it’s worth

I got the recall notice in the mail a week ago and called my dealer to schedule the repair. Much to my surprise the dealer indicated the windshield would be replaced and they would have to order it. It came in in roughly a week and is scheduled for replacement on August 25.
