It's hard fightin the fight with all these new punks who don't get my sense of humor on the site. Not a lot of fun anymore. Too many rules and not enough of the slappin around in the old days. Even puppet doesn't spend alot of time on the boring site anymore.

One day I will rule the world. For now, I have to settle for this place.
Jesus DP, they let the car out of the dealership like that? That's crap (and I'm not just talking about the "quality" of the job either)
I would drive back there and ask to speak to the Operations Manager at the dealership and show him that hackjob, I mean it looks like a cripple tried to stretch that top taut and failed miserably (and before anyone jumps down my throat for the "cripple" crack, I am one so yeah )

Don't care what I paid for (or the insurance company is paying for).. I wouldn't have brought it to a Ford dealership if I wanted to cheap out and cut corners.

You would think it a safe assumption that a Ford dealer would put on an OEM Ford top ... but unless you specifically asked them to it wouldn't necessarily be something they were obligated to do. Next time at the dealership check out a new model convert and compare the tops ... it doesn't seem likely that they would change the design midway through a body-style; my bet is that you're right - it's aftermarket.

My uncle brought his truck to be repaired after it had been hit in the front. The replacement bumper was used and had a hole drilled in the center. Perfect if you wanted to install an eye bolt to tie down a boat or canoe.
was it a Ford Dealer paint shop? or a CarStar inside the dealership? if it was the latter they most likely shopped around and got the cheapest aftermarket they coould....
side note did you go with a cloth top?
