Aluminum Body Repairs Part 2 - 2015 Ford F-150 Long-Term Road Test
After taking a sledgehammer to the side of our long-term 2015 Ford F-150, we needed someone to repair the aluminum body panels. This is what the process looks like.

my 2003 ford explorer had an aluminum hood. had to get it repainted under warranty when the paint started to bubble on the front lip of the hood. they said it was a very common problem and i started noticing it on other explorers (and expeditions) in parking lots over the years.
public needs to know what they are getting into as only authorized BMW dealers with expensive proprietary
equipment ( jigs, etc ) can do the work. BMW tells the IIHS insurance institute and SAE that the cost to fix the
bodywork of an i3 is about the same as fixing a steel 1 Series. I beg to differ. I challenge Edmunds to do this
same type of experiment on a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic i3.
