Granted this is my first truck and the question might be ridiculous...

is this very visible weld mark in the driver side rear corner of the truck roof normal? I know the only cabin welds in the 2015 F150 are on the roof - however the other 3 corners are much less pronounced.

so is this a "normal weld mark" or something along the line of faulty welding/ insufficient welding? How do your trucks look like?

thanks for letting me know

Mine is the same..... I was wondering the same thing about being normal. I was going to inquire at the dealer

I'm not seeing any welds in that picture?

I believe that's the glue they use to put it together

Normal, they are all like that. I think it's some kind of seam sealer. Might be wrong on that

You're right, it's seam sealer. Would be crazy and a waste of Ford to make that many weld passes like that lol.

It's seam sealer & it's NOT normal for it to look like total crap. It seems some F150's have this issue from the factory & some don't. Mine is completely flat & smooth, my buddies Lariat looks like a motorcross track. To fix it they will have to remove it all, reinstall it & repaint it. Then hopefully they get it right at the body shop & you have no leaks. Just a quality control issue from the factory.

That photo does not look bad enough to have someone try and fix it. I would leave it as is.

That is sealer. It's normal.

Why is everyone saying the way that sealer looks is "normal". It is normal to have seam sealer on the roof & other body joints. However, it's NOT normal for it to look like total crap & not be even & flat. Ford has already admitted that IT IS a cosmetic flaw, but will not effect the function of the vehicle. My 2015 roof seams are perfect & flat, so was my 2010 F150 & my 2006 F150. This is a cosmetic flaw with the 2015 F150, some roof seams are flat & smooth....some look like a bicycle dirt track (which is a flaw & not normal). I personally wouldn't mess with it because of potential leak & paint issues. Just put a 6" lift & 35" tires so nobody will ever see it.....lol
