Comes down to this- when Ford made the plunge to all AL body sheet they had to replace ALL their presses @ truck factories. The steel
Presses couldn’t be converted for use w/ the AL sheet. They probably put a lot of R&D into it....but at the end of the day anytime you make a big change on an assembly line there’s going to be some mistakes. It’s 1000000% likely Ford knows this issue very well.....& has zero plans/desire to fix it. Why? Because very few people buy scab trucks- raptor or otherwise. Therefore It’s an isolated issue - in their minds. Not worth chasing down- maybe next body style will have eliminated it. But....my guess is won’t be an issue b/c they will discontinue scab, what’s the point? You either want a back seat/extra doors or you don’t- who the F says, yeah give me the ****** small awkward opening backseat truck that has diminished resale value over the one w/ big ass normal doors & more room for chump change difference in MSRP? Not very many people. Does it “look”
Better? Eh? Maybe depending on preference.

I think would make a whole helluvalot more sense to offer a bare bones strippy regular cab 2 door version of the Raptor- maybe w/ a damn stick shift even- way more than it does to make a 1/2 ass 4 door scab. All the “benefits”
Of the scab are enhanced by a regular cab- and for decidedly less money I’m sure.

my guess is 3rd Gen raptor will only offer SCREW though, period.

My 12 rattled to the point I used surgical tubing in the seals, which helped but did not completely eliminate it. My 19, not enough “having fun time” yet to determine if they will rattle or not.
