I went to that site and ordered two sample units to see how well/if they match. I wonder how hard it would be to vinyl wrap side view mirror covers?

I have an XLT with plain black side mirrors that are not color matched to the rest of the body. I found these mirror covers on eB and thought that it would be a cheap and easy and most importantly, easily un-doable way to attempt to color match the mirrors. I have done this job before but it...

I would have agreed with you but for the lack of functionality and the slow, laggy nature of the current display. It's almost unusable in its current state if you are someone used to rapidly responding technology. I am not, but my best friend owns a Tesla 3 which I have put a few thousand miles...

Additionally, there is leftover fuel in the hose from the previous pump, thereby further blending whatever your selection is, if it was different from the previous pumpers selection

To clean fuel injectors that I have removed from the engine, the following technique has worked well for me. Select any of the above injector cleaners, and soak all the injectors in them as long as you are able to, preferably at least a day, to loosen debris. Then place the injectors in an...

I would have thought Mercedes would use Liqui Moly Jectron, as it's made in Germany. I own 7 vintage Mercedes cars, and I can tell you some engines do and don't like the Lucas injector cleaner. After extensive testing on older Benz of various engine sizes and injection typs, I settled on...

I have a friend who was in the military in California. He said that when he was deployed, he filed paperwork to state that his vehicle was parked out of state. This also exempted him from CA smog. After he returned, he would go to AAA every year and file the same paper. He said that neither the...

Centerline seemed to make a quality product back in those days, but they don't crash test their wheels. I have seen too many aftermarket wheels at the junkyard torn to shreds. Wheels are a safety item, and should be subjected to crash testing

Not really interested in selling my factory wheels. Has anyone actually measured the following? On average (sometimes each wheel of the same part number can be up to 2lbs weight difference, after comparing dozens of factory wheel weights of the same part number) how much of a weight savings...

I come from a Mercedes background, and the company made 16x7.5 'bundt cake' wheels which were several pounds lighter than comparably-sized wheels, but also went through the rigors of factory crash-testing. Is such a wheel available for Maverick? How about a factory Ford wheel of the same...

It snowed last night onto my flipped-open cover

I think I will actually give this a try. If I'm running a cord out to the car I may as well stage a heater in the bed and cover the opening with a moving blanket so it heats up good for a while, leaving a small gap for air

I will probably do this on the weekend

Wonderful. Gen 1. I actually have the same wheels in chrome and am running around the same size tires as well. Thus far from gravity alone, the cover has gone down a couple inches in a few days. I'm hoping to pull it down all the way this weekend with some help.

The vehicle to the left appears to be a gen 2 R129 SL Mercedes with the optional windscreen. I own a '93 500sl, which is gen 1 of that chassis.

Thanks gents. I'm going to let it settle down for a bit, and using a hair dryer, going to use the pull it down with force and clamp it in place method. Crossing my fingers I don't rip anything.

These are pictures of how the skin is tight preventing it from closing fully.

I installed it exactly per instructions, but third segment won't close. I am thinking of leaving it in this position overnight for a few weeks to see if it will flatten out and eventually close. Also thinking of using a hair dryer on the tight segment. However, with the cover folded open, it...

I drive 30 miles to and 30 miles back home from work daily, with about 8 miles (4 each way) surface streets with lots of stop lights. My freeway miles range from between 30 and 70mpg depending on traffic, the slower traffic is the better my MPGs. On the weekends I drive 10-30 miles mostly...

I am tracking that the five piece genuine Ford bedliner is $435 minus 15% off at the moment. Does anyone know where the genuine Ford bedliner can be purchased cheaper than this price, from a seller that has them ready to ship-out?
