I was testing a sticker magnet on the hood of my Explorer, and it wouldn't stay. Humph. But on the back deck, where it will reside, it sticks fine. Whoa. Question: why are the front fenders and hood non-ferrous (apparently). Are they plastic or SS? Is it magic?
One issue is, I bought this last month from my sister, who submitted an insurance claim because of hail damage, primarily to the hood. The Insurance company totaled the car. And gave her a check. She gifted the car to me, with a consideration cost. So the hood is dented in a hailstorm sort of pattern, but it doesn't attract a magnet. Plus, Are the front fenders plastic??? Weird.
I drove a 96 Exployer for 8 years, wore it out and sold it. This model feels bigger for some reason. It has one other issue I think I'll deal with separately.
