He told me it was a re-engineered plastic piece that they were putting on. If they replaced the actual cover then that was a lie. I mean is the bak revolver better? But still, that's not what I understood to be happening.
Mine is from my original ordered Lariat Lux with black painted wheels and hard tonneau roll up bed cover. Straight from Ford. It has a ford oval on the left side towards the tailgate.
Okay, so I got the invoice but there is no part number. I asked the ford guy and he said he never saw a part number either. But that it is the Accessories Department/Team that handled getting the fix. So sadly, I have nothing for yall other than the pictures I posted of the fix from the Ford...
There is a resolution now (at least I got it today, see my post earlier today. I posted pictures). As soon as I get the paperwork back from Ford, I will post the specifics.
My Ford guy told the Ford Accessories (that I believe is a third party) that his customer did not want a piece of felt. He told them I wanted a replacement with a newly engineered model. Or a re-engineered solution. They said they didn't know if that was an option, but 2 weeks later, they came...
All fixed!!! So worth it and cost me nothing! I recommend if you have this problem and they try to give you more felt.... ask for this and/or show them this.
So I took mine in for the Warranty and I just heard back that there is a fix for this. There is a newly engineered piece to go on the underside of the tonneau cover without these felt pieces. I just got the phone call. I will update here once I see it in person and it is installed.
