Roof trim rear piece missing.. how ? Warranty coverage?

Prevent stealing? Would not work.

I’m more concerned with the additional cornering G’s I’m pulling after my strut brace install.

I was going to use blue painters tape to match my “Painters Tape Blue” Lobo - but I think the G’s are stronger than that tape could withstand.

All for the Gggeeez!

After the Firestone Indy 500 tire install next year or so - I expect to pull 1.05 G’s. If I don’t trade for a Tremor beforehand! Maybe I should put Falken Wildpeaks on my Lobo to swap over just in case…

I deleted my post for being off topic. Your Tremor is gorgeous. I took a one day tour bus trip from Cancun to Chichén Itzá once. The alter climb was exhilarating & the sacrificial sinkhole spooky. Such a beautiful & mysterious (for me) area of the world! Oops, off topic again.

edit - also rented a car to visit the Mayan ruins at Tulum. Wish it were a Tremor - but they were not invented yet.

So I go to my 2022 XL EcoBoost last Monday morning to drive to work and I see a piece missing from the roof trim strips. No idea how that happened, but I didn't check the night before since it was pouring rain when I got home. I usually give my truck a visual check whenever I park and also before I get in to go anywhere. No automatic car washes in the past several months, just hand wash. No impact to the truck while driving, no accident on the road... No local vandals ( I have a camera positioned where I can see the truck and its motion activated.
Trying to ask the dealer if it's covered since I remember them replacing both roof strips within the first year and am getting vague responses .
Anyone had this happen to them?

I too give a walk around before every drive - like a jet pilot lol.

If my piece were missing, and I did not experience any impacts/noises while driving - I would expect foul play.

That said, I would fit a piece of hard foam or something (I have so many pieces of packing materials that I have not tossed thinking they may come in handy someday) and tape it down nicely with gorilla tape. Look as good as new really.

So, it can't be ordered?! I mean, how "expensive" should be? +$100usd I don't think so, $25-$30usd????

2nd picture sure looks like plastic trim tool marks, unless that is purely the way the light is reflecting like lines.

Because I'm not seeing glue marks - which I'm assuming 1 spot between the 2 ends must exist to help with hold down.

You should be able to find past paperwork for dealership work, that states if they messed in that area before. Fordpass online (if you don't use app) should show it.

I doubt insurance would be great route - 500 deductible for 750 job say, and tagged for future premium increase.

Thanks for the reply! All things duly noted.

I was going to suggest using the search function to see if anyone else lost theirs - make them a prime suspect in the OP’s missing trim case…

Lol! I got my eyes in a few recent ones.. lol

Do you think a high pressure Car Wash drying fan aimed just right could blow it off?

Or one of those dangly strips could have caught the trim? That would explain the mysterious scratches the guy next in line experienced?

No automatic car washes here this year so rules out that. Thanks for posting

I am contemplating sealing it with black silicone to hold it in place.
