Default 15 lariat glove box dosent close evenly ???

We have a 1 week old 15 lariat sport that we are truly loving. However, I just noticed yesterday the glove box dose not close evenly? the left side of the glove box has got a 1/2 inch gap ? looks awful and I'm surprised I never noticed it sooner? anyone else have the same issue with fitment for the glove box?

Same issue here on my 2015 Platinum. Dealer has one on order to replace it. Also while cleaning today noticed that the rubber stripping around the back door on passenger side is all screwed up and not sticking well, the panel where the start button is at is really flimsy, and i believe the fuse panel on dash is bowed. Man quality is not the same with Ford on this truck. So disappointed.

Thanks for the reply kpromero, I'm going to go over the whole truck now to see if there's any thing else. I hear you about the quality of the truck, not bashing but for a truck that has a window sticker price of over $65,000 Canadian, you would think quality would be much better. I have owned and still own a Honda, quality is much better with the Japanese automakers. I will contact the dealership on Monday, will see how Ford does with the after sale service, this is the first Ford ever, will see what happens ?

Mine is the same way except for it's more like a 1/4 in gap on the right side.
I don't know how to adjust it (or if you can). Sort of sucks...

Same problem here. Mine was on the right side. My fix was easy...I removed the little rubber bumper on that side...made it close evenly and also doesn't rattle. I was surprised.

if this was known at the factory why not fix it and not send a truck out like this.

I have not seen the glovebox issue, but the start button I have. There are a few push in clips behind on the trim and it seems like one barely holds the trim piece in. I have seen some that are not snapped it by the start button,or the button was loose when you would touch it. Ford needs to have the Slogan quality is job 1 back and mean it.

Simple, because it wouldn't have been there for you to buy!
