Hi all, I noticed while detailing my buggy, that the lower inside corners of my tailgate are missing the color (about 3/4 of an inch or so). The primer is there, but no color.
My truck was built in Dearborn and is a late 2010.
I figured I would take it in to get fixed when the weather warms up a bit.
In the meantime I stopped by my dealer to get some paperwork, and mentioned it to my sales guy.
They had a 10 on the floor, and low and behold it was also missing paint color in the corners. I figure the new primers will protect it from rust, but it is still not right.

I am kind of curious if all the Dearborn 10"s (or 09"s and 11"s) were this way, and if the Kansas versions had the same issue.

So open those tailgates and have a peek

 

The bottoms of all 4 of my sc doors (inside on the bottom of the door fillers) were only primered or at most a light dusting of color and some rust on the inside bottom the outer door skin. The pic of the light paint coverage doesn't show very well but you can see where I am talking about. The dealer sent it off to a body shop to fix. Here is my post and some pics.

Picked up my 2011 on Saturday and guess what?! Same deal. Dealer here I come and a phone call to ford. Maybe I should of offered ford more money?

 

mine is a 10 lariat screw built in Nov and bought in Dec.
the passenger front door bottom area has base coat and
some splatter of color. Not worried about rust it appears
to have plenty of base coat
I always wipe down all the door frames, pillars, and weather stripping
after washing or I wouldnt have noticed. Plan to take it up soon
