100% ceramic coating won’t stop rock chips. Nothing will short of one of those thick pu leather bras, and then only in the area it covers obviously. My 2 cents when it comes to rock chips is to master the art of touch up paint. Wet sand with 800, 1000, 2500, 5000 grit on the eraser end of a...
Interesting, do you have pictures? I read about others using mercury/tilt switches. I thought about it but decided to go with the KIA part.
As far as cutting goes, I bought a good condition lid from eBay for this project. I also bought a glove box frame for that project. It just about doubled...
I am currently doing the same thing using a USB adapter and the 12v powerpoint front and back. It works great but I have my heart set on adding factory ambient lighting. Best I can tell at this point is it will require adding the lamps, pins to the BCM for power and LIN data and then Forscan...
LOL, Yeah, I put my cell phone inside the center console and recorded a video to make sure it was turning off. I also added a 3M rubber pad where the switch contacts the console base. The KIA switch is pretty great it opens the circuit with just the slightest of pressure. I could have tapped...
The crucial part is the KIA/Hyundai switch that works really well as a open/close on/off switch:
Part# 98510-21000
After that you can use any 12v glove box light that will fit. I went with Ford OEM just because I like to pay a premium for Ford parts.
I used LC5Z-14A411-C for the center...
Basically copy / pasted the DIY glove box light to my center console lid. Lincoln glove box light and a KIA switch. Under seat storage is next using Ford luggage lights and KIA switch. Tapped F20 in the BCM to power glove box light, center console and under-seat.
Yeah, I paid $30 dollars for the Ford damper. Then I paid $32 for a glove box light and harness from a 2025 Lincoln Navigator, plus 14.99 for a KIA glove box switch, plus a couple of dollars for the matching connectors from Mouser , plus wire, wire loom, tesa tape etc. to add a glove box light...
Scratcheshappen.com carries a touch up paint listed as Ford Navy Pier! I think I paid $21 shipped. Is it perfect? No. Is it pretty dang close? Yes.

Mine is a ‘24. I would keep trying. You may need to do more research. Ford changed the part number prefix from NZ6Z ( 22-24) to SZ6Z (25). I did a quick search of Parts.Ford, I BELIEVE the acoustic glass part# SZ6Z7803100B. The parts description doesn't state that explicitly but instead lists it...
I am no expert on bed liners but I have never heard of Line-X or any other brand refusing to spray Mavericks. That just seems weird. The Line-X shop where I had mine sprayed wouldn't spray the lip directly behind the rear window like a lot of other shops do. "Too many bad experiences" on which...
