Got my underseal done today, was there nearly 7 hours, its am interesting experience seeing all the bits taken off the car, and everything wrapped up, its a Big Job, but the care and the attention given to everything is perfect
very interesting day, also nice to meet Tom, Mike and Lee are the Best, it's not a cheap job, and I suppose a lot of UK Owners feel they should get it for free. But if you want it done with the best stuff and want a Top Job, then for me as it's a brand new car, and will be outdoors 24/7 and I want to keep her for many years it made sense.
here are a couple of pics

This is news to me. The last time I did this was back in the 80's.

Is it really needed? What's the name of the company you've used if it is?

Is very poor quality, Ford have a lot of warranty claims going in to get it redone.

How does this poor quality manifest itself? Serious question, do you see it falling off or something? I would never have thought to look
underneath a brand new car to see what's happening.

Mine hasn't arrived yet, but if you head over to mustang6g.com and look in the UK section the details are there . Underseal is done in zeebruge when the car is brought over.

I fitted a new exhaust yesterday so was under the car.

Basically, the problem with the underseal is that there isn't any.

For some strange reason they underseal the bottom of the exhaust, bottom of the propshaft, and bottom of the differental with some sort of black paint at Zebrugge. Not the traditional tar type stuff. Chassis is just primer.

Really is pants.

So, if I can't be arsed to haggle with the dealership, can anyone recommend someone to do this undersealing in the Southeast?

Love the attention to detail but how much does it cost?

Then you're in for a pleasant surprise 'cos it's WAAAAAY less than that.

Give them a call as I believe the price has changed since I had mine done.


ETA: actually, forget that. I'll come pick your car up, take it to Modurstang to be undersealed and return it the same day all for £900. biggrin

£530 seems like a good price but should new owners have to fork out for underseal on a brand new car that has supposedly had the treatment?

No, but then if you take a look at here: http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5... and read mkfork's posts as he's in the process of getting it done by Ford, see if you'd let Ford do it for free...

This is all a bit worrying. Seems a very basic thing to go wrong. Is it just the mustang or Ford generally or do most manufacturers get this wrong and we just don't notice?

Go to Modurstang and get them to carry out the underseal they use far more robust materials similar to bedliner material. Speak to very helpful Mike at Modurstang he'll guide you. The process takes about 8 hours and the underseal will be dry when they've finished, they will even do it while you wait as long as you've made an appointment. I've driven from North Wales to get this job done right. Not a job for a Ford dealer, who use inferior materials. My car is also in for other customizing which will include painting the side skirts, front chin, rear diffuser, grills and door mirrors in gloss black to match the roof. These guys do a great paint job and come highly recommended.
