We just had ours auto-close. It stopped when it smacked my wife's head, too. ?
I believe the >PVB< means it's acoustic glass. They use polyvinyl butyral (PVB) between the two pieces of glassI don’t see anything on my premium about acoustic glass on the front windows
Unless that’s what laminated indicates?
How do you know they are not going to tell you? The alert to the dealers just came out on Jan 20th. The general outrage (not calling you out specifically) seems to be a bit premature, don't you think?
Hyundai dealers with ioniq5 haven’t been any better and then you’ve got dealers selling Rav4s for $100k. Hyundai is removing features from Ioniq5 due to supply issues as well. It’s happening all over.
It isn’t obviously premature, because their changes to the ordering guides significantly predate their Jan 20th email to dealers. They’ve had plenty of time to contact people with outstanding orders. It looks a lot like they were planning on leaving it to the dealers to inform customers of the changes at pickup. Speaking subjectively it feels like a bait and switch, using the dealers as (probably hapless, tbh) cutouts.
Part of the issue with social media is that it allows people to learn of things that they never would have in the past, and thereby creates issues where none would have existed in the past. As you can see, people read something on the forum, react to it, and the dealers are "what? huh?". Had you not read it, maybe it never would have come to light and you'd be much happier.
I was considering a Porsche Macan, but decided on the MME. You want to talk about nuttiness? 14-way adjustable seats are getting replaced with 8-way adjustable (trust me, it's a big deal). The Cayenne has the electric telescoping steering column defeatured, where it gets set one time at the dealer, and it's fixed (the motors are there, but only the dealer has the SW to talk to them).
The acoustic laminate is a sandwiched middle layer between two outer pieces of glass. The only way to retrofit is to remove the standard glass and replace with the Acoustic Laminated glass.
Yeah, GT is supposed to have everything the Premium has. When is that parts file you’re looking at dated from? I’d be glad to grasp at the chance that they’re still providing the acoustic laminate front side windows on these models.
Several people have assumed that and been sorely disappointed.
I still think it is premature since no one knows what they are going to tell a buyer and what they might offer. I've never heard of any auto manufacturer contacting anyone directly over a production change. You ordered through a dealer, not with Ford corporate, right? It seems like the dealer is the right one to talk to the buyer.
That’s is fair. My guess is they are leaving it up to dealers. What would kind of suck for people who want the feature is waiting to tell us at time of pick up will likely mean there won’t be any 2021s to go find. I think this is just another example of how ford needs to change with the times. Yes we are all still buying from dealers, but for most of us it feals like the dealers are just as clueless.
