I have 2023 Timberline, built 12/22 and I do have the short rib on the passenger side of the roof as well. No idea why it’s like that. Maybe the die for the roof stamping got damaged and this is what they ended doing for the repair.

Another Ford engineer or group of same that could be given pink slips with nothing but positive results. There was nothing was wrong with Gen 3 rear hatch design / actuation in any kind of weather.

That short rib is bizarre…the only reason I can think of is an unseen design change which required it.

Its a manufacturing defect. I feel like someone failed to inspect (quality issue) that roof before the robots installed it.

Is it only on the sunroof/moonroof cars????? maybe different stamping because of interior structural differences.

22 expedition max, was built in June and I don’t have one that is shorter. They are all the same.

That is strange it is shorter than the others. I have a 22' Timberline and mine are all the equal longer length. My build date was 5/22 and bought 7/22. I will be curious to see what you find out.

It may be a modification to one die used for a certain attachment or accessory. Perhaps a large order of SSV fleet cars required a special antenna mount? They would modify one die and use that stamping for those cars>
