They did you a favor and sent you the best one....

I agree, if you're not interested in keeping rocks and bugs from hitting the windshield.

Does it have a force field?

I believe it's called wind deflection.

I can see his complaint when the websites say it will fit
maybe some Ford sites haven't been updated does the A version have the bump or not or is Ford sending the part to the dealer and they are passing on what they are getting? I have found several dealers selling online pull shady things. I ordered the light kit for my Raptor when I had it from a dealer in Ohio only to be sent the wrong kit and they tried to say I got what I ordered when I sent a screenshot of my cart with order confirmation it still took them four months to refund my money after they got the parts back.

1) i feel for the kind, considerate and reasonable Karens of the world.
2) that deflector WITHOUT the hump looks much better, anyway

that is all.

Not really.... if Ford corrected the issue with the hood shaking the one with the hump does a much better job of protecting not only the hood but the windshield as well from flying debris. I beleive Ford had discontinued that version when it made the hood on the Maverick shake as it acted as a wind foil. Cheaper fix to discontinue than beefing up the hood.

I thought the satin one with the bump was discontinued because it caused hood flutter?
I prefer to look at it differently. Rather it being a issue of the deflector causing the flutter instead of beefing up the hood struts Ford just discontinued the part even though it did a better job of protecting the front end of the Maverick. Much cheaper fix IMHO but not as effective as the one with the hump.

Come to think of it, everyone I have heard call someone a "Karen" is actually more of a "Karen" than anyone they are calling that name. Including the guys in this thread that think they have to involve themselves in ever conversation.

Sorry she is dealing with that my man. The world is stupid right now and these hosers don't get it.

Hosers, Are you Canadian by any chance?

Canadian asking.

I bought one purely for esthetics, I don’t really believe that they actually deflect every airborne rock that has a trajectory for the front of the vehicle.

Every rock that has hit my windshields over the years never touched my hood first.

It’s funny to hear everyone saying how they never get them after installing.

This was the last response from the owner "I am the owner of this company and this will be the last contact from us. You received what you ordered, plain and simple. If you ordered through a picture in hopes that it would somehow fit your friends exact vehicle, that was incorrectly done. Once again, I urge you to not only take my word for it, but contact other Ford dealerships and see for yourself."

1. I did not receive what I ordered.
2. They refuse to exchange the product for the correct one I ordered.
3. They claim the one with the bump will not fit the 2022 MY (plenty of people on here with a 22MY running this hood deflector proves otherwise)
4. My google review, BBB complaint, and this thread are all meant to bring attention to the shady business practices and to help others avoid working with this company.

Your best option is to dispute the charge with your credit card company. But, you will eventually hav e to provide concrete evidence that what you ordered was NOT what you received.

No. I'm from Ohio. I just like the word

Ok, so I'm not mad or anything, but what if (for years) every time someone was an a-hole someone said, "Dude that's really a Luke move."? Do you think you'd get a little tired of it?

My very kind wife's name is Karen, and she won't even give her real name at Starbucks or fast food places anymore, because people really do treat her differently now. There are a million women named Karen. Let 'em have their name back.

It's a LM thing to do by slandering someone's name, another woke liberal elitist Puny Underachieving Neuro Kid

Jesus man. This guy might suck at customer service, but he is likely relying on parts catalog or bad vendor information. Just return what you have and move on. This isn't shady business practice, it is information break down. You've wasted more time and negative energy on this than it is worth. And for sure is a Karen move.

Can you read? They will not let him return it.

 

[mmahathy]

Im going to need to find another thread. These threads that are posted for no purpose other than to complain about the most mundane BS and simplest of issues reduce my faith in humanity.

You certainly don’t get it.

Dam!! Too many people with too much idle time
