    Looking for a little help with the clamshell window surround

    My factory warranty will be expiring in a couple weeks and I'm trying to make sure I don't miss anything that should be covered. There has been some mention by owners who have had their window surround replaced under warranty. I'm not sure if it was the high-mount stop lamp assembly and/or the...

    Option for the trunk liner ¼ turn fasteners

    I’m on my 3rd set of ¼ turn fasteners for the front storage tray. I was tired of them always flopping around and never really securing the liner. In my case, the originals lasted about one year and the replacements weren’t much longer. Maybe the AZ heat :confused I replaced them with a few...

    It’s taken me longer than expected but I just completed the final touches on the CF center console side panels. They make a great replacement for the OEM pleather panels. The biggest obstacle was locating the original type of fastener (not Velcro) that is located on the front of both panels...

    VIN plate question

    I, along with some of the local GT owners, had the opportunity to spend the morning at the Gainey Village Cars & Coffee. Towards the end of the event I was approached by someone who was employed by Ford for 35 years. He was curious why my ’06 VIN plate rivets were not the typical Rosette VIN...

    Nailed

    How many owners have had a flat during the past year? It’s been some time since there was a post regarding flats, plugs and patches. Figured it was time to pick up a nail in the right rear tire and start a new post :thumbsdow It appears the field is split on repair and replace for casual...

    Center Console Replacement

    I had time today to drop off the FGT at Power Ford North Scottsdale for the Customer Satisfaction Program. Dwayne Burke handles the FGTs coming in for service and warranty work. A real stand up guy who knows the car :thumbsup I pointed out to him the excessive gap between the center console...

    Ford Short (Sport) Shifter

    I just received my Ford short shifter today and curious about step 16(optional) of the installation instructions. Did anyone install the provided bushing and washers or maintain the original steel inserts and rubber grommets? Did you notice any difference with feel or vibration/noise, using...
