Make sure to do your homework before coming to the body shop. I brought in my 16 explorer for corrosion warranty on my hood. They told me the warranty was only up to 70k, I m at 85k and that it wasn t corrosion because there s no rust present, they estimated me around 500 for repainting the hood. I didn t know anything at the time but aluminum doesn t rust which is what the hood is made of, but doesn t mean there isn t corrosion, I called ford themselves couple months later, they told me there is a lifetime warranty on corrosion if it was a manufacture error and it need to be diagnosed by a ford dealership to be approved. I went to another dealership we re they concurred with what ford said, they diagnosed my explorer with corrosion on the hood and ford approved it for replacement of the hood since the existing hood is no good. These people were really about to make me pay 500+ dollars for a hood that would of ended up having corrosion again within months of repainting it.
