Can you explain what "wired inline" means here? You just mean plugged into the AC outlet or did you find a way to tap into the DC from the truck bed?

May be a software bug that’s got a patch already. Limp mode is what the truck does to self preserve.

Go read some of my posts. Same issue. There’s a bunch of Ford notices they can review and apply fixes for. Once they did all that all my phantom battery and malfunction issues went away.

Yeah, maybe that "mixup" was the customer realizing the truck was busted. :-)

Is this Powerboost?

Agree! I've found nothing aside from those old posts. There is a front tow-hitch receiver that bolts on to the bottom of the chassis but it requires removing or cutting the air dam which I'm not interested in doing.

I won't disagree it's dumb and foreseeable / preventable, but it is at least very easy to fix. The cover has been wonderful otherwise.

FWIW, this all sort of happened at the same time on a really hot day (90+) when I had the truck in the sun. The actual temp in the truck bed with the cover on was probably way hotter. So I think the tape or adhesive spray they use just fails in either very hot (and probably very cold) temps.

Yes. I had to purchase some double-sided thin VHB adhesive tape to re-attach them. The adhesive on the back of them stock sucks. It's not just the window bumper, it's all the bumpers. That's been my only issue.

I posted this in the agate black thread too:

My long boi is having fun in the mountains.

Do you have your truck yet? ?

Any of you make progress here? Any photos of the work / access areas?

Odd, I was under the impression it was quite involved to actually remove it. Maybe it's just loose but far from "flying off" you know?
