Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone has noticed a problem with the front panel alignment. My truck arrived at the dealership today and my sales guy sent a video, I notice the front piece is not matching up. Is the piece plastic/metal?

I am picking it up next week and plan to do a full walk through but you guys have been so great I thought I would ask here also. Thanks!

Ask them or help them take it apart first. U may be able to better align it yourself.

My salesman sent me a pic of my 18 today too. Front end looks fine far as I can tell.

The part is plastic and mine is a little misaligned too. Typical Ford quality, if you start looking for problems, you'll find them.

That right side panel has to come off partially closet to the grill. One of the tabs from the panel is not in the tab on the grill holding it in proper position.

Or try pushing that part together at the bottom. It locks into place there as well.

My 2017 looks like the lead foot pic Ryan posted...normal. But I did see a 2017 at work a while back that looks like your pic, bigger gap on one side. It was reversed from yours, big gap on the left side when facing the truck.
