Friends, I sold my 2024 Maverick Ecoboost recently because I needed something bigger for work. I have this as-new COBB Tuning Accessport to sell:
Accessport for Ford Maverick
It's a lightweight tune for a little extra power, but probably more importantly is the transmission tune, which solved...
It was a notable difference, and I would do it again. Wind noise specifically is reduced. Because my insurance policy has windshields/glass subject to the normal $1,000 deductible, I was paying cash for the change. But as I noted, the main point is the economics are barely different. Maybe...
I'm closer to this, but less time. I love clean cars and I like to do it myself, so over a few years I keep refining and investing in a process to get it down to 15 -20 minutes in most cases, sometimes less.
A big time saver is a de-ionizer in front of the electric PW - no drying. I can wash...
I just leave it all connected. I put a 50ft high pressure hose reel on the wall near the electric PW. Whenever I want it (typically a couple times a week), I keep a short 6ft garden hose with quick connect on the inlet and just connect it to the outside faucet. It's ready. No real setup or...
I saw a piece where auto journalist John McElroy stated the primary demographic for Slate: "Their target customers are hourly wage earners, not early adopters. In fact, all the company’s advertising and marketing will be aimed at working class people, not tech geeks or EV advocates. The idea is...
I put $50 on it a few days ago. We currently have an EV and dig it. I'd be more interested in the larger ~84 kWh pack than the smaller one, which will of course cost more. We'll see.
Fair question, of course, and a one-number dBA doesn't really tell the story as much as the reductions along the frequency spectrum where they are occurring. Just reading about it a bit, the highest reductions seem to come mostly at mid-frequencies consistent with wind noises and other traffic...
You may have seen it more obviously on side window glass when rolled down and viewed from the top. It's a thicker glass that's actually made out of two panes of glass separated by a thin insulated space of air. I read a year or so ago that some luxury cars have gone to a triple pane.
Correct, it was the Lariat Fender Liners that fit right in. These were the part numbers I bought.
Fender Insulator Right - Part # NZ6Z16071A. MSRP: $46.93
Fender Insulator Left - Part # NZ6Z16072A. MSRP: $46.93
Right. There are actually 4 Maverick windshields:
1. without acoustic, without heated wiper park
2. with acoustic, without heated wiper park
3. without acoustic, with heated wiper park
4. with acoustic, with heated wiper park
So this one (which is the one I had installed) is #2 with acoustic...
Right - that second part number is for the cover the Ford parts guy said I needed for the acoustic windshield.
After the install, a casual look at it says it doesn't look any different than the cover that was there originally. I think the original cover probably would have worked is my guess.
Yes, these are the fender noise insulators I put in. L and R sides are slightly different.
Important install tip: The trick is to not try to install them only from the top - you end up pushing the foam and it just bunches up and can tear on the exposed bolt heads. Turn the steering wheel all...
At 10,000 miles on my '24 XLT EB AWD, I had two chips in my factory windshield, one was a significant hit that was a small, quarter-sized spider web of cracks.
Last Friday I had the acoustic windshield from the Lariat installed on my XLT. It fits fine. The Ford parts people said I needed to...
Three months have now elapsed with no reversion back to "On". I am now well past the length of time the problem was normally occurring. Obviously happy with this result. I'll report again in another month.
Mine had less, but I don't think 30 miles is a lot or a big deal. I understand you, though - certain things get stuck in my mind for a bit, too. Let it go and enjoy your new Maverick.
