So, I ordered a pair of wheel well liners from ford when I got my 2021 F-150 two years back. I had the shocks upgraded to Bilstein a couple months back but the rear ones were upside down. When I went to switch them I noticed the rear wheel well liner on the passenger side had a cutout to access a wrench around the rear of the shock.
I did not remember that from the install when I added them so I looked up some pictures online from the parts store. It was not there, the line was straight. I assumed the tech had cut an access hole when the shocks were installed so I took this back to the shop and the shop manager assumed the same, apologized and ordered a replacement pair of wheel well liners for me. When the replacements came in, they had the same hole cut in them, just done poorly with a different pattern.
I then did some online searching and saw that many people had similar holes in theirs while some did not. All were passenger side rear wheel well liners. I only assume that there must be two factories producing these. One that cuts and one that does not...
Can I get an assortment of rear wheel well liner pictures, passenger side to see what yours looks like.
Circled in blue is the part that is cut out on mine.
Here is a picture of the old and new one side-by-side:
My internet is cellular and being super slow, I think there is a cell outage nearby. I have a couple more pictures to upload but need to sort that out first. I'll have them uploaded later tonight.
Edit: Just adding in one more photo here:
Circled in red is the seam the cut portion of the wheel well should be protecting.
