Was not talking about the liner shield under the engine. The ones under the bottom of the body are the ones I was mentioning. I have since, removed them rust proofed and reinstalled.
I thought about the warranty, so I did reinstall the shields for that reason.
If your only keeping your vehicle three to five years, I would not worry about rust proofing. I live in Wisconsin and usually keep my vehicles ten years. They will rust in snow country.
I rustproofed my Maverick myself using a professional rust proofing spray gun and compressor. Removed spare...
To remove the rocker panel clips use a pliers. Be sure to get the pliers on the top and bottom part of the square clip and turn. I took all of mine off and only broke the first one while figuring out how they worked.

Yes, gave them all info. Paid $500 down. Have receipt and copy of order. I did talk to the sales person today . He said the order was sent, but they did not hear anything back from Ford. He said they would check into it. Kind of strange.
