Door jamb sticker
Someone ran a stop sign back in Sept and hit my door.
Not bad but it needed a door and where the striker mounts got sucked in enough to need some paint blown in there.
The local Ford dealer had tried to go through one of their customer service reps to see about having it replaced......but its months and he hasn't been by. (Story I got is that he travels from dealer to dealer solving customer issues.)
I still have my old sticker that was peeled off though its kind of butchered its still plenty readable.
Is there any place that still makes these, maybe repop ones like they make for some older cars?

Well it has the vin and all sorts of usefull info paint code etc.
Plus the fact the moment some one sees its missing its a dead giveaway that the car has been hit.
The car has only 45k and in otherwise great conditionthe only hint that it was ever hit is that missing sticker, and a slight bit of dry spray in the jamb I think I can take out with some 1000 grit and some compound.

This is my daily driver, bought because it was a new(er) American v8 rear wheel drive car as opposed to the 1971 plymouth and dodge I own which although extremely fun are not cars I'd chance to drive every day.
When I see posts on the Mopar forums about stupid and crude Ford owners I can see they are clearly referring to people like you.

A. who would be looking for a door jamb sticker? B.who would actually care that is MIA? C.an idiot? i think not. ignorant and lacking of manners possible.
oh and did a little research for ya to show im not as crude as you'd imagine.
I don't know if this outfit is still in business, but they are a graphics arts firm that made replacement serial # plates for old tractors. I just sent them the old plate and they made a brand new copy. I bought several from them 10 years or so ago. I assume they could put different numbers on it if you told them what they are. It is: Kayenay Graphics, 840 S. 12th St. NW, Mason City, IA 50401, 641-424-2535.
hopefully this works for ya.

Maybe its wisdom I have that you wont get for years. But owning cars like the ones I do you learn that the better you take care of them now the better off you'll be later.
Thats why though my car has been modified a bit I have saved every piece that has come off of it.
Every possible thing that could ever be needed to turn it back to original.
Why worry about a sticker now? Because like many parts from my 71 cars small things like that may not be available in years to come.
Who would care that its MIA....me.
Tell ya what if the sticker doesn't matter to you I look forward to the youtube video of you peeling it off of your car.
