Picked the car up this afternoon, and now have 4 working door edge protectors. The new ones seem to be more smoother in operation, so let’s hope Ford have sorted the problems with them.

Had them look at mine last week when it was in to get the S/S working again (which worked for the day I picked the car up and is again not working)

They tried to fix but couldn't so ordered me 4 new ones which im having fitted on Thursday, along with them again trying to fix the Start/Stop

Ha ha, yes. Trouble is garages have stayed the same size and cars have got a LOT bigger. I lined our garage with offcuts of old rugs, carpet, etc, years ago, which does the trick!😀

In our last garage I screwed some circular foam pipe lagging to the wall on the drivers side. Worked a treat. 

All four of mine were changed last week under warranty, seem to be working as they should now tightly hugging door edge When the door is open.

Spoke to the technician when I dropped it off, he said the part has been redesigned and the book time for fitting was one and a half hours per door. So at a guess Going by what I was charged in labour for my Ford service £90 per hour, that’s £540 plus parts, plus VAT. Glad I wasn’t paying for it.

People have been mentioning their warranty replacement with a fairly blasé attitude but I had a feeling they wouldn't be that simple to change.  I was only expecting half an hour per door though, hour and a half seems a lot!  I'd also be worried about introducing rattles inside the door with all the stuff that needs removing.  

I think we can be guaranteed a constant flood of threads about broken ones after the warranty period expires!

I remember on my previous MK8 Fiesta I asked about having them fitted, I can't remember how much it was but it was pretty expensive, the guy at the ford garage also showed me the diagrams etc that the mechanics would use to fit them and it really wasn't a 5 minute job, it looked like they had to basically take the whole door apart 

in the end I decided against it, the only reason Im having these fixed on mine now is because they came with the car and like you say, its under warranty! 

Used to work at Ford. If you walked around the managers car park there would be loads on the floor. Good idea but the pivot at the protector end is way too fragile. My mk8 Fiesta has one broken already. Picked up October last year. 

This will not be covered by warrantee as it is classed as wear and tear

The OP started this thread over 2 years ago, so I'm pretty sure he's sorted now. Still, I suppose everyone has to have a 'first' post 😀 ...

Actually 3 and a half years ago, but who's counting 🤣

Back then the OP's 2018 car was still well inside of warranty.  Back to the present it does seem a strange thread to make a first post on 🤔
