  1. Condensation water accumulation in footwells

    Sounds to me that the drain line from the condenser isn't connected under the dash. That condensation is supposed to be vented through the firewall to drip on the ground.
  2. October Hybrid Orders United

    Just got my latest “love letter” from Ford. Still scheduled for the week of 9/5 as far as I know. More tomorrow when I call the dealer.
  3. October Hybrid Orders United

    I read on the forum that 202 hybrids were no longer going to be produced so I stopped by my dealer (South Bay Ford, Gardena, CA). My Lariat Lux, CP360 has a production date of 9/5/22 along with a VIN. The Sales Manager said that the ground transportation had improved around here and that if the...
  4. Oops on window vent install...

    Use a plastic razor and try 3M adhesive remover. I have never had this damage existing paint.
  5. Ford Chat

    How does one go about accessing "Ford Chat"? When I go to the Ford website, log on to my account and try to open a chat, I get no response at all. ??? I have been successful in calling them but that is minimally helpful at best.
  6. October Hybrid Orders United

    The dealer (South Bay Ford, Hawthorne, CA) called me yesterday. They said that I am now a priority 2. At the pace their orders are moving, they estimate that my order with go into production in the second half of August. The salesman said the the biggest hassle from their end is the shipping...
  7. Alto Blue issues?

    Is the Alto Blue more or less prone to peeling and flaking? Are the "premium" colors applied thicker or with more clear?
  8. October Hybrid Orders United

    Ordered a Lariat Lux/CP360 Hybrid on 10/13/21. Just the routine apologies from Ford since. The dealer says I should be in the next batch based on their experience so far. Yea, sure...
  9. Dealer Insight Into Delays: Hybrid / Co-Pilot 360 / Luxury Package / Spray-In Bedliner (by Tim Bartz)

    Stopped by South Bay Ford today for a status check. I am finally up to a priority code of 10! Ordered on 10/13/21, Lariat Lux/CP360. The sales manager said they have had 168 orders so far, the longest book in SoCal. They have received something like 15 so far.
  10. Car and Driver: Ford Maverick Hybrid Misses Its MPG Estimates, but We're Not Surprised

    Their test strategy represents a single data point in what is a much more complex calculation. I recently drove a 300+ mile trip in our Audi Q5 and averaged just over 32 mpg by leaving the cruise control on 65. Again, only one data point!
  11. 3/24 Scheduling Email Received Group [EMAILS NOT YET RECEIVED]

    Do I have to join Twitter (#$@&%$!!!) in order to chat with Ford?
  12. Ford sends out (blanket spam) email -- "An Important Update About Your Order"

    I received the same one at 8:35 last night. Alto blue Lariat Hybrid/Lux/360 ordered 10/13/21. Crickets since.
  13. Dealer Insight Into Delays: Hybrid / Co-Pilot 360 / Luxury Package / Spray-In Bedliner (by Tim Bartz)

    From the looks of the SIBL I saw today, maybe they are farming out that work offsite down there.
  14. Dealer Insight Into Delays: Hybrid / Co-Pilot 360 / Luxury Package / Spray-In Bedliner (by Tim Bartz)

    After all this, I stopped by my dealer, South Bay Ford today. They said that they had heard of this delivery delay but had no first hand knowledge from Ford as yet. They checked and my order (Lariat lux hybrid) was still valid but no production date yet (ordered 10/13/21). While there, I saw an...
  15. OEM Bed Cubby installed on XL - pics & part number: NZ6Z-60286A72-A [Updated w/ DIY writeup]

    Since this is exposed to all sorts of onlookers, you might want to use a stainless steel tamper resistant bolt. McMaster-Carr offers them in the correct size (M6x1.00x25mm) for $6.27 plus shipping for a pack of 10. You just need to get the correct bit (center pin Torx for an M6 screw). It won't...
  16. Matching dark gray ACC panel to black grille - DIY FIX using Forever Black

    I agree with TheGriffin1313. I had a Gulfstream jet repainted by a supposedly competent shop and they shot 2-3 thousandths too much paint on the top of the vertical fin. It took us 2 months to figure out why the Direct TV signal was weak. It turns out that Gulfstream had done a LOT of testing on...

    Are they going to continue manufacturing in Chihuahua?
