Black part of the Deck looks to be bowing out a bit

I've seen this before on the forums.

How bad does it have to get before they'll fix it. I noticed the other day that the black plastic with the faux fuel cap is bowing in the middle just slightly. I'm assuming this is going to get worse.

the padding on those deck lids are very bad i noticed, if u go over to the sharp edge by the tail light and gently tug on it with the tip of ur finger u will see the padding and the gap.. water will go in over time.. if u havent modded it ford should fix it for u under warranty

Ford replaced the panel on my wife's 2014 GT convertible a couple of weeks ago under warranty.

I JUST noticed this today! Mine is pulling away from the center. Lucky I have my RTR decklid waiting to go on!

I'll text you later, but right in the center at the top, near the 3rd brake light. There's a huge gap now!

Yep, Mine's still small, hasn't gotten much worse, but that's exactly where it starts to bow out. Push on the ends, and then push in the middle, if it's happening, you'll see it then because it'll bow back into place when you put pressure on it.

Mine had to be replaced after a minor parking lot fender bender and the body shop not re-installing it correctly. I used that opportunity to get the pony tri-bar one instead of the GT one. I think I had to pay the additional 30-40 bucks (pony one costs more), but it's just an idea if anyone else gets it replaced under warranty and wanted to change it out?!?
