You could do this but somehow I think you would feel morally compelled to tell a prospective owner about the problems even if they didn't notice it themselves.
I would sue ... small claims court is not difficult or expensive and it's designed to be lawyer-free ... and frankly it would be less time consuming then what you've spent time-wise so far.
Sue for a lot - max out your claim by whatever legitimate means you can ... sue everyone involved, including Ford if they've had even the most remote involvement (ie: supplied parts or materials) ... and then wait for one of their lawyers to suggest a settlement.
Yes - get 3rd party quotes for the proper repair of the top plus repair of the damages and find a way to monetize the time, effort and aggravation you've accumulated so far.
