Does anyone have recommendations for replacement windshield A-pillar trim to buy? Prices online range from $35 to $200 depending on the seller, which seems crazy.
I figure at least a few people here must have replaced theirs, since the trim on these cars rots out so fast. 8 years old and my Fiesta trim is literally falling apart in pieces, meanwhile my 12 year old Honda Fit’s trim still looks like new.
For how poorly the originals have held up, I was hoping some 3rd party options might actually be better. But if I can’t find anything compelling I’ll go OEM
I love these cars, but everything on them is cheap cheap cheap.
I use the Honda as a good comparison because it was actually less expensive than the Fiesta but has held up significantly better over time. I don’t see myself buying another Ford again after the experience with this car (which is my 7th vehicle and 2nd Ford).
I’ve had the same thoughts. This is my first Ford, and for being only 7 years old, it sometimes feels like it’s falling apart. It’ll definitely be my last Ford.
The main reason I want a new car is because I’m tired of constantly dealing with parts breaking due to how cheaply it seems to have been put together.
