Yea I dont have a problem with the weld. So what its ugly. Many manufacture dont clean up or smooth out welds that are not in view. They do that simply to keep the cost of the car down so you dont bitch about it. But the washers…I LMAO at ford when I see shit like that. like SI01 said… theres no excuse for that. This crap is exactly why I dont resecpt American car manufactures. Which is sad because they are a big part of our economy.

And the tape is there probably to protect the technician who was working on it from the sharp edges. And he probably put the tape there himself, not by Ford. Man I hate sticking up for Ford
