First the good news. The deflector was installed last week. It fits just fine on our Platinum and, while I may be smoking something, we believe the car/truck is actually quieter. May just be our imagination but since both of us thought of it independently so it's probably a fact.
Now the bad news. Way back in this forum I told folks that in order to get the deflector I had to pay for it. It wasn't listed on the build order...they said. The dealer did agree to pay for the install.
Then I found out the deflector didn't come with fasteners. No big deal, I thought. See the attachment. $27 for 11 fasteners tells me a lot about where Ford makes it money. And even then, the mechanics were sort two fasteners. No they didn't charge me. But if some of you are looking for a fastener list, here it is, short two.
At least it's done but I'm still fighting with the dealer over the front end rumbling and the cranky transmission.
But we'll get there.
