Turns out someone on the assembly line put his entire brown bagged lunch inside the driver's door and then affixed the panel. It was rotten, moldy mess. Ford paid for an entire new door assembly and a steam cleaning of the car.

Worker bees are worker bees, IMHO. Management has the final say on what goes out the door, no? And, prior to my years in a public sector union, I sold cars, the first couple of years Fords. I do have a hilarious story about assembly lline shenanigans I'll share in the next toot.

Except there was nothing wrong with the engine; it was put into track pant Doug's Ranger with a 2.3L engine. All paid for by Ford. kThis store had a bigly yuge fleet divisioin back then, and had pre-authorization for any alnd all warranty work. I've no idea how much shit went down but I do recall those two events like it was yesterday. nostr:npub182f2nv0ckh6cst58s7gu6h4ys55f3yusgenttw9v55xchelyy04sq55z5g
