I found a Maple seed caught in the rocker.
There is a company that manufacturers a grill to prevent debris from draining into the rockers.
My issue with the grill is the size of the holes.
The Tamarack trees shed tiny needles that would easily pass through the holes in the grill.
My solution is...
I sold a 2018 Ford Fusion Titanium and bought a 2025 Maverick Lobo.
Both vehicles have a 2.0 ecoboost engine.
The Lobo engine sounds and feels different to the Fusion's.
As it turns out the 2.0 Ecoboost is a completely engine new for 2025.
Everything is new. The engine block, cylinder head...
This week I applied sound deadening to the inside of fenders, under the back seat and in the back doors.
The difference in road noise is worth the effort.
I plan to do the front doors and under the carpet.
