Hello

Have recently been down this route, Ford tend to class this as trim and therefore not covered.

There are two usual places where water can get in around these areas, the first is underneath the roof strips/gutter trim and much more common, the tailgate hinge welds to the recess in the top of the roof. There is a tiny hairline opening around these, where inadequate sealant has been applied. Water finds its way in and collects in the boot. The cure is very simple and easy to do, just smear clear silicone sealant around the hinge welds right the way round. The roof gutter strips can also be easily removed ( they will peel off) and similarly, apply plenty of silicone sealant and press back into place.

It's an easy DIY fix that will save you the money and/or hassle of fighting to get it done!

Ford class everything as trim after the end of the first years warranty expires. We tried to get new wheel nuts when the originals corroded. dealer said trim but after a discussion in a crowded showroom (service and sales shared the same area) they fitted new ones.

A colleague had the handbrake fail on his just before it was 3 yeasr old, the lever pulled out of the centre console. Dealer said the handbrake was trim and colleague just paid up about £400.

I really like the cars Ford offers but this attitude has put me off buying them, no Ford on the drive now.

Okay,

I have contacted ford and stated that I am looking to have the work carried out under warranty, stating the issue is a "Manufacturing Defect", I should hear off them later today with a response. If I recieve a response of "sorry sir this is not covered by warranty" then i will take them to court for selling goods that are not fit for purpose. If I wanted a car that leaked water after two years, I would have bought a car with sunroof and left it open when it rained!

Thanks for all your comments.
