The infamous roof seam

The infamous roof seam
My local dealer has over twenty 2015 F-150's on his lot. The dealership was closed this morning and I took the opportunity to check them out. All trim levels...mostly crew cabs. Over half of them had wavy and or "lumpy" roof seams. I noted four that had seams that were totally unacceptable...huge lumps an/or debris in the seam. The trucks were from both the Kansas City and Dearborn plants. I think that I'll wait a while longer before making a purchase. I for sure would not take the chance on placing an order without the guaranty that if my ordered truck did not meet my expectations for quality I would not have to take it. (I'm 6'3" and I can easily see the front of the seam.)

Yea I found that first time I hand washed my truck, kind of annoying along with bed/cab alignment issue. If it weren't for the fact that this 2.7 EB motor were so awesome I'd be in a Chevy....

When I ordered mine there was no deposit or obligation or anything - I imagine if they had one I would have gone elsewhere.

This is about the only flaw I've found on my '16 Lariat. Doesn't bother me at all as no one can see it, I hardly see it, except when washing.

My roof seam seal is being replaced by ford. I was noticing water in my floor mat on the driver side. I could see water coming in above the hood release latch. Took it to the dealer. They said the windshield was leaking. They put a new windshield in it and low and behold still have a water leak. Took back to the dealer they have since removed and reinstalled the windshield twice and finally pin pointed the leak to a hole in the roof seam seal near the front. Not very happy at this time as they have now had my truck since last sunday and I am not expecting to have it back till monday. 2 weeks.

This is 1 thing I remembered about before buying my new 16. Luckily mine looks a perfect as can be, as did my 12s!
