Must be a covid build

Definitely a covid build, Ford decided to supply those to tie your hair back while you're locked out of the barbers.

I thought it was for putting up the man bun before going to Starbucks drivethu.

It's not a gnome slapping, it's the rubber band

Have found several rubber bands and plastic caps under the hood from my ‘19 build. I gave up counting and just let them hang in place. They take me back to the day I found my first and along with the windshield wiper key ways LOL

I didn't have any rubber bands or plastic caps on my 2010 Raptor but that was back in the day when Ford built them right!

I lost about 50 HP when I went through and removed them from my '19. Biggest mistake I've made....

The rubber bands and plastic caps that come off of the components during the assembly process have nothing to do with "being built right". They are there to protect the components between the shipment from the supplier and the installation on to the vehicle at the plant.
