See below...vvv
Congrats
Happy ending!
The dealer I bought the car from, left a message and said they ordered the panel for me and it came in!
Now all I have to do is decide whether to drive 3 hours for the install or just pay my local dealer to do it. We think it requires removing the passenger airbag or I'd do it myself.

Same assembly line. But guided by angels. And the engines in Canada are given a native power prayer blessing, but otherwise they are like a basic Mustang. Just they get us closer to God.

Hey guys!
I just wanted to reach out to everyone who has the chrome vent covers. The vent covers are indeed supposed to have a satin finish. Please send me a PM with your VIN, mileage, contact info, and your dealer. I will get in touch with the Customer Service Manager in your area so this can be addressed.
Thank you for the mention, guys!!

The selling dealer is making it right, but what a stupid policy that states cosmetic build errors must be found in the first 3 days of ownership. Come on where's the common sense in this. I'm done.

The common sense is that the DEALER is responsible (remember, I work at a dealership). Who's to say that someone wouldn't defraud Ford by swapping in a cheaper part and then claiming it was misbuilt?
There has to be a limit for something that is the responsibility of the dealer to catch.

You can see the chrome vents in the interior pics.

Wait wait wait. How is the dealership responsible for it when it was built wrong from the factory? Not to mention how could someone so easily swap out this part when everyone is saying that it needs to be done by the dealership because it is not something that can be fixed unless done by a dealership?
I mean did I miss something here? When did people stop becoming accountable for their mistakes? I think a good dealership would step up, contact Ford, explain the problem, then make it right. I don't think the dealership should have to eat any costs when it was the parent company that screwed it up from the get go.
I do like the post about how the cars can be rare and now be a 1 of 1, but at the same time you did pay for something very specific and should receive what your paid for.

You're not a very good listener.

A) I stated (correctly) that the DEALER should make it right. I believe you said they are. Perfect.
B) The customer is very often wrong; it is the responsibility of the business to manage the customer's perception to make them feel right. Did your father own a car dealership?
The business in this case is the DEALER. Ford is a manufacturer. Dealers retail their products. It is the DEALER'S responsibility to inspect the vehicles at delivery. There is protocol for this, including a time limit.
Therefore, if the dealer ACCEPTS the vehicle as delivered, it then becomes their responsibility if it is misbuilt. Same goes for scratches, dents, etc.
You also technically accepted the vehicle at delivery, and it is not the dealer's responsibility (technically) to do anything at all, but IMO it is the right thing to do (as I previously stated I would do it at my store) to make you FEEL right, even though you are wrong.
Ultimately the dealer AND Ford SHOULD (and I believe they do) want you to be happy. (FWIW I do too, in spite of your incessant arguing over a point of which you are ignorant)
I also agree that it shouldn't have taken Deysha's intervention to get the dealer to take responsibility.
Once again, I'm glad you are getting what you want and your car will be as you want it

It's the dealers fault for not catching the chrome error.
So does that make it walmarts fault if I buy a gallon of 5w20 motor oil and the bottle was missmarked and was really powersteering fluid? After all Walmart was the retailer
