Anyone else still waiting on their side vents?

I just have this sinking feeling that I'm going to have to raise hell to get these. It just shouldn't be that way. I'm the one who bought a new truck and it didn't ship with them on it. WTF?

UPDATE: So, I go to the dealer yesterday. Parts Dept., "Checking on some side covers that were ordered in March." "Just a minute, let me check in the back..." Parts gal walks around the corner 10 min. later with two boxes in her hand. WTH? Doubt I would've ever received a call! Are you kidding? No process to in-check parts coming in against work orders from service?

Ok, went over to service. Had to reiterate that these didn't come on the truck, were supposed to be ordered in November when I finally received the truck, checked back four months later and they couldn't find an order so then ordered in March. I guess sales is responsible for payment? I have no GD idea, I only know I bought an incomplete truck and these are finally here. The service writer (to his credit) said, I'll figure it out but have to call you to install once this is taken care of. I asked if they could install them today, tomorrow? "Oh, we're two weeks out." Call me.

I came back a few minutes later as I had a different question. He said, I've taken care of the who's responsible for buying these covers in the dealership and we opened them to look at the parts. I noticed that they're just clips and installation is popping it off and putting the new one on. He checked with a tech and pulled my truck in. The tech had them installed before the work order was printed.

and viola! Just like that, I have my OEM side covers.

Hear the irony in my typing?????

This really shouldn't have been this much trouble but, it's finally done.

Prob bullshit? They just clip in and use adhesive on one side. You can easily just the warm the surface up.

I Installed mine without any adhesive and just the clips - run this truck thru some rough shit and never had an issue.

Still waiting, purchased in October. Been on order with the selling dealer ever since I got the letter telling me to go get my vent badges. I'll call to see if they came in. Called a month ago, nope.

If mine weren't here I was prepared to go to a district rep or notify Ford customer service and see if they can follow-up. It's completely unacceptable for you or anyone else to not have them by now as all the new trucks are shipping with them. I'd start raising hell. What do have to lose?

I've found a path to getting my issues a higher level of attention, so I expect them to be resolved now. Already seeing results with a way to go.

I received my correct side vents today.
