The supplier that builds them for Ford messed up. There's now an effort to change the hardware on all unsold kits. A notification for accessory distributors went out just a few days ago, and the hardware is supposed to show up this week.
Of course, Ford hasn't given dealers any indication of helping existing customers who are having this issue. For those who are having rust problems with the deflectors, try seeing if the dealer will cover under warranty. But you'll have to wait until the hardware issue is remedied first. That's going to take time.

I have had the rust stains above my driver light as well. Will bring up to dealer on Monday when I take truck in to get the gas tank TSB done. Also, what is the likelihood of the dealer being able to put in Job 2 cup holders. The rubber things on the Job 1 stink and they get pushed in and won't pop back at making for a loose holder. Think they could do that under warranty?

I stopped by my dealer yesterday and when they looked up the deflector on their system it showed no inventory. They suspect that is due to the manufacturer still working on a fix. They have put in an order for me but have no idea when it might come in. For now I will keep cleaning the rust up so it doesn't create a permanent stain.
