Is there a specific tool to use?Shaun12 said:Just installed the jack plates that I got from 06mach1. Took a minute to figure out what I was doing, but once I found the right tool to pull those stupid push pins in it went well.
F.D. Sako said:Took the mustang to the dealer to check out rust spots on the hood.
While detailing the car, I noticed the paint was bubbling and the hood was rusting inside out. A little research revealed that it's a "common" problem with ford aluminum panels, which are getting contaminated with steel tools during stamping and manufacturing.
So guys, check out your hoods and other aluminum panels (if we have any) on the car - before your warranty runs out!
Mine started rusting right above the headlight, where the hood overlays the headlight (both over and under the hood).
Also just got a call from the body shop, asking me if the vinyl was a factory item, because their system wasn't showing factory vinyl, weird. If warranty work is approved, the guy said the whole hood has to be sanded and resprayed.

Im surprised this has happen to a 2013. on 2012 it is a known problem. they also rust on the roof line where the front windshield meet on the drivers side.
One would think that the molds only stamp aluminum hoods so how do they get contaminated with steel? As far as I know, mustang hoods only come in aluminum.
My buddy had his repainted and 1 year later the same problem again. And yes his hood was striped. Its funny how its the excat same spot on two different hoods / molds (12&13).
