Be careful as they can strip out. Honestly, The tailgate is so light I don’t see the need. I prefer to leave that tie down point right where it is. Just saying. Once again, be careful.
I think you’re good but a peek behind the scenes will verify. Parts are more available than they were but they are also expensive! YOU should have a choice as far as fix or replacement of hood. Good luck and keep us posted.
Best thing to do is call Ford (800) 334-4375 and ask for an order status. Have your order numbers you got from dealer on hand as that is what they need in order to help you.
