Front Fender line holes gone

[Gregs24]

That is the area where the hole used to exist. Looks like Ford has made a patch piece with the same material as the liner. I've circled the patch in the photo you uploaded.

I don't think it is a patch - just a bit that flips up on the line and is then bolted in place when the car has its own wheels

It never fails to astound me how people can pretend to speak with authority on a topic they have obviously done no research on and therefore haven't a clue what they are talking about. I have to presume that people keep posting this particular topic just for the fun of trolling for stupid answers that they can share with friends and family for laughs.

But of course your opinion is the one that matters!

My car after a winter of salt and wet had minimal damage there and I have since treated the exposed metal and will monitor it. You belittled this on another thread because it doesn't fit with YOUR opinion.

I am speaking about MY car, MY experience and MY evidence, so I can speak with authority on the subject!

in ny a car is lucky to last 10 years in the salt if you dont wash it off but in nc they probably don't use much salt

makes you wonder if the salt is worth it all the damage it does to cars and infrastructure
vs people just buying a set of winter tires

i don't drive my DH in the winter and have nokin hakkapeliitta r5s for my winter car
i still wash the salt off my other car its now 18 years old

UK uses plenty of salt and I daily my car. My S550 at 6 years old had very little corrosion underneath and I did nothing to it. Our cars do get underseal applied, not sure if US cars do?

@dusman59 ..... how many recalls has Ford issued wherein they took responsibility for a design flaw.
