Rust on rear seat brackets

[SouthernRap]

I noticed some rust on the rear seat brackets. Anyone else notice this? Do you think this is something the dealership will warranty?

Ford likely will not cover unless it’s really bad. Surface rust often isn’t covered under warranty since it’s a cosmetic issue rather than functional. You can try your shot with your dealer’s service though.

I haven’t noticed similar rust on mine btw. Also did you do those scratches on right hinge? Just curious.

I’m going to reach out to them this week. Naw, I didn’t do em. I was surprised to seem em there as well.

I have the same on my 18 and I don’t think they’ll warranty that.

Just surface rust from the weld and won’t get worse than that.

You could paint it or wipe some Fluid Film on it.

+1 for painting if they won’t cover, it will definitely protect it a little more from decay and look nicer.
