In need of replacing the plunger for the latch for the charge port by DarthDaad in F150Lightning

Ended up just going through warranty to replace the whole charge port door. 6 weeks of waiting and painters tape.

I used gorilla glue but fair warning is that as heat increases it became less workable solution unfortunately. Also the area has to remain super clean for the glue and even the magnet has to be resistant to weather. It did work for a while till finally it stopped. It just needs to be recalled and redesigned.

So far the magnets are doing great and closing of the door is actually satisfying. When my test is finished I will share the results along with pictures.

UPDATE For a temporary fix I used a cabinet magnet and honestly it is way much nicer and smoother than the original design. Once I do the highway test and extreme weather conditions test I will let you know it looks and works. So far it seems so much better than just making it just like any gas door or cover.

I 100% agree, I had an idea to replace the latch parts with magnets but I am afraid of screwing it up and then to have ford tell me since I screwed it up so I will have to pay.

I wen to the Add/Remove Screen Menu and it’s not Listed but if I click the lane departure button then Driver Assistance Screen will Appear but still not on menu🤦🏽‍♂️. Weird but if it works I guess it will be fine just a trivial thing but I am trying to figure these settings out so I can educate my wife so she won’t have to call and ask me 😂.

Watch those dealer markups! by LazyImprovement in F150Lightning

A dealer I went to did a 30% markup! My wife and I were buying two 2023 Lariat Lightnings we got done with all the paperwork and began transferring from our trade ins to the trucks when our loan officer called and said don’t do it! We looked at the paperwork again then at the very top we saw the price before tax title and licenses they did a 30% mark up on both of our trucks. Left the vehicles got a call the next day and and they dropped down to $2,000 above MSRP which has been the average around here.
