Front inner wheel well issues

Until that happens. It's certainly better than all that crap getting inside the car.

And it works just fine. Just check every so often to ensure it stays in place.

Totally agree. It’s a shame that in the thousands of 24 year iconic Mustangs this BS had to happen. No problem with 88 or 74 I owned. Should of kept the 88 convertible for sure.

Just curious if the picture you posted is the actual brand of tape you used to fix the holes (duck tape brand)?

Someone else mentions using this tape which is water proof so might be worth the few extra bucks:

That's what I used before I put the plastic covers on, the material of the liners allowed some moisture to get behind part of the tape causing it to peel a bit. It did keep debris out though.

OK thanks for the reply I will probably go with it as a temporary fix. Also did you have to clean out a bunch of debris before taping the holes? If so, I assume after you taped the holes you wouldn't need to clean anything out before installing the plastic covers. Also did you install the covers that the gentleman created that sell for around $90ish dollars? His name escapes me at the moment.

It was in winter so I didn't have may miles on it, I had to remove the liner to get a fastener, there were a few in there. I posted a picture earlier in the thread, because it was cold I didn't explore the holes before installing the plastic covers, I also didn't do the cleanest job so soon I will smooth out covers with more JB weld and take a peek in the holes for debris. If I find any I'll post it.

if you are driving on clean roads and no gravel drives or roads then there shouldn’t be much In there, but I can tell you what ever rail yards our car went through in transport were gravel because ours was full of stones and they were not from our driveway. This picture was taken an hour after the car came directly from the dealer. It was the same amount on both sides

I had a 20 mile trip home from the dealer after my car was delivered at the end of January. Now, they did cinder the roads earlier that day but there was no snow or icing on the trip home. Below is what I had to clean out from behind my wheel wells. At this time the car only had 42 total miles on the car.

I posted the fix I created and I am very happy with the results thus far and the low cost was a bonus. I will link my earlier post below if you're interested in taking a look and trying it yourself. Let me know if any of you have tried it or send me a direct message if you have any questions on it.

I'm planning on addressing this. One thing I can say is that I had a tree limb fall on my 03 vert GT puncturing the top in 3 places. I used Flex Tape wide on both sides of the top and it's been there for 3 years with no problems or leaks or anything. Car has 200k miles on it so I didn't feel like spending thousands on a new top. I'm impressed. Just a thought.

The DIYvan kit is well designed and made in the US by a small independent company. I think that a $50-70k car is worth more than duck tape.
My $.02 worth.

Has been fixed in the last cars built?

No unfortunately.

 

[S650Mustang]

I can confirm that the design on the liners have not changed. I just picked up my Mustang which was a job 2 car on Saturday and the hole is still there unfortunately. I ordered the kit by DIYVan to cover the holes.

 

[Bullit]

No unfortunately.

Ford has said a word about this isue? @Ford Motor Company

Could create a problem covering the holes?
