Based on what appears to be crappy glass i would for sure go non oem on the replacement if it were me, as long as they can guarantee the cameras can be calibrated.

The Hyundai Santa Cruz is catching fire while parked due to water in the wiring harness for the tow hitch. I wonder if they use the same manufacturer for the harness. You would think if that were the case there would be a recall on the Fords for the same issue. It does bring to light that it...

I wonder if aftermarket windshields would be a better quality. I had a '87 Nissan Sentra that went through several windshield repairs and replacements, the dealer tried to tell me it was the aerodynamics of the car. Back then rock chip repair companies would set up shop in parking lots because...

Its the windshield material in the Maverick. I took a giant rock to the windshield in the Lancer yesterday going about 55 and nary a chip. In my Outlander that is 16 yrs old original windshield, no chip anywhere, very minor pitting and it took a hit from a board that chopped off the side mirror...

First truck was a 22ft Dolphin motorhome on a '77 Toyota truck 20R chassis. His name was Lurch, the gutless wonder. 😂 That was my first experience with a recall. Toyota replaced the rear axle with one from an '85 Toyota truck. I had 2 Rangers consecutively in the 90s and 2 Silverado '94 and '08...

Everyones tech is creeping on them. Ive had a few incidents where I feel that the phone call itself was being monitored. Today, I was talking to my son about Olive garden over the phone, we never talk about Olive garden in the house and I have not clicked on any ads or looked up anything like...

Google maps is a big one. I was using maps to get somewhere and noticed that in the middle of nowhere was a slowdown. I came up on it and there was no one around except for a couple of people on the side of the road putzing along on 4 wheelers. It was seeing them as slow traffic. Everyone else...

Someone tried to steal my stick shift '93 Ford Festiva. Sometimes when opportunity knocks... I left it in a parking lot because I blew a fusible link and didnt know it at the time. They tried to hotwire it, got nowhere because they had the same trouble I did and couldn't get it started. 😂

303 wont really reblack the bumper but the UV protectors can prevent it from happening in the first place.

Ford offers a Perimeter Plus alarm package. It can be installed aftermarket. Some vehicles, likely not the Maverick already have it installed at the factory and can be enabled using Forscan. https://accessories.ford.com/ford-perimeter-plus-vehicle-security-system-11 In my limited researching...

I hand washed my Outlander for years until a tree fell on the hood and dented it a little bit. Then I decided it could also go through the car wash. After that my headlights clouded up and turned yellow. I gathered the feeling that it might be the recycled water from the car washes.

Make sure you rinse this off very well. It is more than just dawn and alcohol and could affect your plastic even more. Alcohol itself is rough on plastic. Dawn powerwash is a degreaser that breaks down oils and that is essentially what plasticizers that keep plastic supple and intact are. Rinse...

What about Mitsubishi? FWIW Ive put over 100,000 on 3 of them and had no issues. 100% made in Japan. Still have my 16yr old Outlander. However, recently looking at complaints on the current models I feel like every manufacturer is having issues. Its turned into more of a decision about what...

That is an added bonus. However Im looking at selling my RV. Anyone want a Winnebago?

Its more important to vary your speed and RPM, than it is to stay under whatever you think is too fast.

Your axle issues could be caused by lifting it. It's a trade off that needs to be considered when planning on lifting a vehicle with CV axles.

Fair enough, thanks for the guess!

It might not be painted over. I dont have a maverick yet but my other vehicle the sensors are the color of the body.

Do you have a guesstimate on how much they are going up? I am scheduled for delivery in November.

When I come across these expensive silly situations I look for an aftermarket part and check with my bodyshop or car stereo installer for install options. They usually have the tools and expertise to deal with trim pieces, unlike my local mechanic that would leave their handprint all over the...
