#7 of 61 Crack in roof sheet metal by jbz1 Sep 05, 2007 (6:32 pm)
I have a 3 month old MKX. After 1000 miles, it developed a crack in the roof sheet metal, from the vista roof outward to the right rear door channel. Anyone else have similar problem? Replies to this message: texases (Sep 05, 2007 6:38 pm)

I have had an MKX for 2 weeks. I love it thus far. A strange thing happened with bird droppings on the front bumper [urethane]. I did not attempt to remove them for 2 days then nothing worked. Bug and tar remover were uneffective. The dealer tried compounding, lacquer thinner, and finally wet sanding. The brownish stain seems to have permiated the clearcoar finish. There are 5 separate and distinct spots, each about 2-3 cm. The dealer says painging the front bumpper is the only option. My comp ins will pay but the deductible is 500. Any thoughts from anyone?
#10 of 61 What color did you have? by mschmal Sep 07, 2007 (4:00 am)
You should get a quote on the bumper yourself. They may be able to spot it. The new paint hasn't had time to fade so there really isn't any blending necessary.   Mark. Replies to this message: ccrock (Sep 07, 2007 5:52 am) txlyn (Sep 13, 2007 10:28 am) akirby (Sep 13, 2007 10:43 am)

The dealer is repainting the bumper under warranty. Still noone knows why it stained like it did. Replies to this message: tidester (Sep 13, 2007 9:54 pm)
#13 of 61 White Chocolate. by mschmal Sep 11, 2007 (3:25 am)
I feel like White Chocolate does not like plastic.   I recently delivered an Explorer Limited and I could have sworn that that plastic wheel surrounds where a slightly different color than the body, a little toward the pink side.   But since the customer never mentioned it, it could have been my imagination.   Mark.

Replying to: ccrock (Sep 07, 2007 5:52 am) I, too, have a 3 week-old '07 white chocolate Lincoln MKX with unremoveable stains from the back bumper. (I parked under a tree and it dripped, or birds ate the tree's berries and relieved themselves on the rear of the vehicle.) I tried every imaginable cleaner with no results, so now the car has been in the paint shop for 4 days getting the bumper repainted. The dealership also has another white chocolate MKX, still on their lot, that they are having the bumpers repainted for the same problem. I'm thinking the problem is the paint color. Makes me re-think paying extra for "White Chocolate!" Replies to this message: akirby (Sep 13, 2007 10:43 am)

Replying to: txlyn (Sep 13, 2007 10:28 am) Bumpers are typically painted by a different supplier. Sounds like maybe they messed up the clearcoat.

Thanks. I get it back today from the paint shop at the dealership. I have printed your note to take to them. Replies to this message: txlyn (Sep 13, 2007 12:41 pm)
