Additional Comments
Generally Went well the installation took slightly longer than was originally timed for but was successful*, the colour is slightly off but not so much as you really notice.
My Complaints are really about the electrical side of fitting.
Central Locking : I had the fitting kit fitted to my hard top, the feed was taken from the drivers door, which in Fords is a totally different circuit to the rest of the car, so one click opens the drivers door and the hard top, the next click opens the rest of the car ( which includes the Tailgate ) not really optimal there.
Internal Light : The Wildtrack has a feed for the internal light system to light it up when you unlock the tailgate/press a button, this has been totally disconnected and the rear light connected directly to a 12 volt feed. so it does not light up when you open the tail gate nor open the hard top and the light always has to be manually turn on/off.
Instructions: I was not given the instructions for the Hardtop so I can't remedy these myself.
With the exceptions of these installation flaws it was installed ok (it's slightly crooked), do I think it was worth the £200 it cost me... simple answer NO, I paid a premium for installation and I don't think it was a premium service.
Our Comments
Regarding the central locking, the feed isn’t taken from the drivers door but it is taken from the main feed that unlocks on the first click of your remote. We found customers preferred this as it gave access to the canopy with just one press of the button and not all Rangers have central locking to the tailgate.
The interior light is battery powered to allow it to be completely independent and not require the vehicles supply, being a modern LED light, they use very little power. Also not all Rangers have the feed from the Wildtrak Sports bar.
A lot of Pick-up beds are crooked from the vehicle which means we have to fit around this to ensure the canopy doesn’t foul the back of the cabin whilst still looking correct on the bed. Without seeing the vehicle I cannot comment any further.
I am sorry you feel disappointed with the fitting cost, not all of this was for the fitting as you have the removal cost for your WildTrak sports bar.
