Should I let the dealership....

Align my front end (slight pull to the right)?

Fix the ticking in the left wiper?

With all the horror stories, I am wondering if I should live with the ticking and have another place I know that specializes in Ford trucks align it and pay for it myself?

First question is are you SURE it is an alignment issue? The smallest crown in the road and with these wide tires it will pull either way. Most roads have a slight crown to the right for water run off.

Make sure you on a nice flat surface and see if it pulls or not…

Anyone who operates an alignment machine will wipe filth in your interior. Why should you discriminate against Ford? Hopefully, they'll have some respect and keep their wiper tools off your paint.

On a related note, the weatherstripping over the slider glass on the rear window is falling down. When I asked the dealer to fix it, they ordered a whole new rear window for me.

Should I let them replace it? Or is there too much risk of them sealing it poorly and having it leak forever?

I'm thinking of just hitting it with some superglue and seeing if it holds.
