    Reclining Seats

    Thanks for the drawings. I remember taking the seat out last summer and getting no further than pulling/prying on the recline lever trying to get it off. I pulled on it pretty hard and finally gave up because I thought I'd break it. According to your drawings, it looks like it might have...

    Reclining Seats

    I'm into lunch hour naps too, though in my '07 Fusion which also only reclines half way. I think it's got something to do with safety, they don't want a passenger flying forward from a horizontal position in an accident. I've taken the seat out of both cars but can't figure out how to remove...

    Reclining Seats

    I'm a little too old to take chicks out to the parking lot these days, I'd just like the seat to recline all the way so I can nap when I'm in the mood.

    Reclining Seats

    Does anyone know how to make the seats recline all the way. My '03 Mach 1 had the same problem but could be solved by drilling out a rivit in the reclining mechanism. Thanks for any help.

    53000 miles on first set of brake pads?

    Brake wear all depends on your driving. I've gone through pads in a weekend at roadcoarse racetracks and have gotton over 100,000 miles on the street. As the pads get older, they can loose a little sensitivity when cold, besides that they should pretty much be the same as they were when new.

    Disable Clutch Engagement To Start?

    I fixed mine the first day by taping the switch in the depressed position. It only takes a few minutes.

    Driving Problems

    Sounds like an alignment problem, probably toe-in/toe-out.

    How Well do S-197's Perform in Snow?

    The secret to winter traction is tire width, the narrower the better. I've owned several sports cars and drove them through Chicago winters with little trouble with all season tires 20 to 30 milemeters narrower than stock. It looks a little strange but works like a charm. A limited slip...

    Noise From Dashboard Near Windshield

    For what it's worth, I found the source of my noise problem. It was the shifter boot which had dried out somewhat and began chaffing. I wiped it down with some sort of vinyl/leather conditioner and that was the end of that. One of those subtle but annoying sounds that drove me nuts for...

    Noise From Dashboard Near Windshield

    Thanks for the reply's. Maybe I need a louder exhaust system, but I liked the car better when the dash didn't have the noise, my new Fusion doesn't make annoying sounds like the Mustang.

    Noise From Dashboard Near Windshield

    I've got a 2007 GT Coupe with about 8500 miles and over the last few months it's developed an annoying little noise from the dash near the base of the windshield. It's a subtle pulsating wind or air pressure noise. I'm wondering if it's coming from the defroster vents, like there's something...

    Clutch Engagement Point

    I have a 2007 GT and would like to adjust the engagement point of the clutch. It engages too far away from the floor, towards the end of the travel. Does anyone know how/if it can be adjusted. I know it's a hydraulic system, I've had other cars with hydraulic systems that could be adusted at...
