Can't you just take a piece of bailing wire and stick it through the holes to fasten it? Bailing wire and duct tape will fix damn near anything.

They are missing.
As stated in your first post and not disputed by any other comments.

Take it to the dealer and have them give you some push pins (or whatever the hell they are called).

It's not the value, it's the principle. If I spend $50k on a truck, I want the whole damn thing.

Have you attempted to have the issue resolved? Doesn't sound like it. Maybe you should deal with the issue at hand. Clearly your truck is one wrong turn from falling apart.

Remember, perfection is the enemy of the good.

Did you personally check all the fluid levels to make sure you weren't cheated out of a few ounces?

1. What exhaust tip is that, Corsa?

2. Maybe your truck has had some body work already on that quarter panel and the body shop neglected to replace the push pins. Tons of vehicles are damaged in transit and are repainted unbeknownst to buyers.

3. If you've only had your truck for a week, how is it so filthy already?

So if your brand new truck was missing something you wouldn't be upset?

You spend 50K+ on a truck you want it to be complete and not have plastic trim flapping around on it on the interstate.

Thanks for the heads up.

WTF is up with Ford quality control???
