Tjm0031 Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Picked up a new 18 Edge 2 weeks ago. Noticed after a few days our driver side tail lamp was really loose/wobbly at the part of the housing closer to the front of the car and the fit around the curved quarter panel was super tight and rubbing and had chipped some paint from the sloppy install at the factory. Took it to the dealer and after sending photos to Ford they agreed to replace the lamp assembly. It goes in tomorrow. Hoping it fits better than the one we originally got. Not worried about the pain chip as I can touch it up myself and its in an inconspicuous location but dont want the tail lamp to continue rubbing paint off as the moths/years go by. Anyone else seen this? Hopeful, it is just an out of spec lamp housing. Kind of a bummer on a brand new $38k truck...we love everything else about it!

GTEyes Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 Thought I would chime in on the thread, although it's quite old and unanswered. I am noticing something similar with my '24 ST. Going to pop the tail light out and see how it looks. From what I can tell, looks like the tail light either rubbed or was aggressively installed at the factory and scratched the paint. I found a similar thread on a Focus forum where they had to shave some of the tail light off to keep it from touching. Good thing I asked for a touch up pen when I picked up the car!
