Thanks, I think that is a very good explanation of what I was saying. Who knows what is in the heart of many of these dealerships? Not I.

My dealer had a special deal with the local Line X business where I paid more for the SIBL through the dealer than if I went directly to the Line X business. Go figure.

Mine is going to be $549, then add sales tax. I've seen higher and lower prices. That is for the standard product, w/o the UV protection. Mine will have a tonneau cover and sleep in the garage so I don't really need the UV protection.

Well, I feel fine. My bed rug had not arrived when I went on the trip that caused the scratches. It's not that big a deal, like I said in the subject of this thread, "How thin is the paint?" Plenty of thoughtful replies indicating the answer is "pretty thin." I already had the bed rug when I...

Thanks, now I'll have to take a closer look at mine, before I get the SIBL on Wednesday. No wonder mine scratched into the primer so easy.

No, I know the S-10 is not a clearcoat. My cat has jumped up on the hood of one of my more modern cars and put scratch marks in the clearcoat and they are noticeable, but the scratches don't go into the basecoat. I'm just surprised how a plastic tote bin with a couple of suit cases in it could...

On my other vehicles scratches will usually only go through the clear coat, most of the time. Does anyone know if the bed receives exactly the same paint process as say, the hood? I see quite a few comments about chips in the paint on Mavericks. This makes me think more about those comments...

No, it's replacing a 1991 S10 and the paint was apparently much thicker back then.

Wow, really took our first modest trip in the Maverick, we put a couple of plastic tote bins in the back and put a couple of small suit cases in one. Just went to the garage to take the empty totes out and was shocked at the scratches that went through to the gray primer. It seems like they...

What a great looking truck! I'm thinking of going with a bedrug, but had explored the idea of using the gym interlocking mats. Could you drop the tail gate and show us a photo of what your gym mats look like. I wasn't sure how that might work with all the ridges in the bed floor.

That's what I was talking about. Here's my photo from today. After the photo was taken my wife cleaned the outside of the window with Goo Gone and the window was then in top shape. So that's one solution.

That's very similar to what mine looked like. I hope to work on it more tomorrow. It's been really cold here and I've not felt like working on it. I'll let you know if I get mine to the point of not having any streaks. I really appreciate your post as I was feeling like people thought I was...

I was wondering what each of them was for.

Just picked up our new Maverick with the electric rear sliding window. It looked like it had something similar to scratches running from side to side on the glass. We tried to clean it and it was better, but still had traces of the marks. I'm wondering if the glass had a clear film on it that...

Can't believe I now have the Maverick! 2 hours before I arrived to pick up the pickup a miracle happened and my Private Offer certificate came through. The finance guy had been working on this for a week, according to him, and apparently he finally talked to a person who could solve the...

"A follow-up: my dealership did get this corrected with Ford in 2 days. They were told this could take up to a month, but then some sort of magic happened and I was given a $1750 credit." Congratulation and thanks! Tomorrow is the big day for me and we'll see what they say when I meet with...

The pizza tracker says I'm now in final preparation, so guess I'll be getting the news soon about how somebody has failed to obtain the private offer for me. Ugh!

Probably just a coincidence that things changed so fast. Today is the 365th day anniversary of our original order. Good by S10, you've been a beloved family member for so long.

So right after making the original post, I sent an email to my salesman. 30 minutes later he replied it had made it to the Yard at KC and the estimated time to the stealership was 1/29/23. I live in the KC metro area and the stealership is just south of the metro area so we'll see how fast...

I just noticed this today, under shipped, it is filled in with green. Anyone know what that means? I had not caught any of the other steps filled in like that. I hope it's good news.
