Hi all,

Just a quick question. My Warlock came from the dealer with a small scratch under the headlight. I’ve tried to clean, polish to see if I can remove it but nothing works. The dealer has offered to replace the piece but I would like to see if there a a way to remove it without having to take the assembly apart. Please let me know if you have suggestions.

Thanks!

Its on the edge where paint is thin, you will burn through trying to correct it. Let dealer swap the part

If it were not new I'd suggest to clean it with alcohol, mask it off and mist it with clear. But since it's new get a new part.

Textured plastic is tough to fix. Let them replace the thing.

Thanks all, that is the direction I’m going as well. Man I love this truck!!
Good call. Like I said on my first post new truck desrerves top quality fix. Those textured trim pieces are REALLY hard to fix scratches on. Much tougher than painted trim bits.

As already suggested and you agreeing with those suggestions, I too agree with the suggestions, let the dealer make it right. :)
