MKX2007

Your right. I have one small chip on mine, just outside of the protectoer. It should have a lip that extends down an inch or so as I've seen on a few other makes.

You should end with about an inch & a half drop up front. You really don't want to go any lower or you will be dragging the front facia over tall parking lot curbs.

I had mine done at the dealership. I think they told me a 4 hour job plus the alignment.

Did you have your remote in your pocket by any chance? A couple of weeks ago, I went out & discovered that I had triggered the global opening feature & the roof & front windows were open all night . At first, I thought someone had broken in, but realized what had happened.

I have the H & R on my MKX & so far (15,000 miles) haven't noticed any unusual tire wear.

When I ordered my MKX, I either forgot or my salesman didn't note Sirius on the order. By the time I realized, my car was on its way. At any rate, I had the dealer install one. It works the same as the factory one. For some reason, they mounted the antenna a little off center. The saleman said there is something under the center. This cost me $500.00 with no free service.

Subscription rates are going up in March I believe is what I read. That should help some. A little hard to understand the reason they can't make a profit with 20 million customers. Sounds like something only thr government can pull off. I really hope they start addressing the uneven quality of sound from one station to another. I'm sure they are losing a lot of business for this reason. With hard drive becoming more common, this could hurt them also.

I have one on my MKX (black) & I like it. The fit is excellant & it looks good. The thing I like the best is no more glare on the windshield & side mirrors. The only negative is that it fits tight to the headlamp sensor & the headlights are on more often then before.

I think there is a little less headroom with the Vista roof. I'm 6' 2" & have no problems. I did originally concider the MKZ, but couldn't get the seat comfortable & sit up straight at the same time.

The same day this topic appeared, there was an accident in my area that an SUV ended up in a canal with the front end sumerged. The rear liftgate was open & this possibly indicated the occupents escaped out of the cargo area. In this case, many people saw the accident & quickly helped.

Kids lock themselves in the trunks of cars all too often. Thats why new cars require a release on the inside of the trunk. A tradgedy could easily happen here as well. I'm glad someone brought this up.

I know someone thats had this happen at least twice on a Taurus. It has something to do with the brake interlock.

In addition to the above, I've read that the chemicals used really do a job on the paint.

If you have not done so already, check that the tire pressure is correct. Even a few pounds under or over can make a big difference.

I've had the car for a year a half & drive same route to work & back at about the same speed. This just started happening the past couple of months. When I fill up, it ALWAYS showed around 410-415 miles to empty. The last 4 times the miles to empty have gone up each time. Now, over 30 miles more. When I left work today, it read 444 miles to empty & I know I drove about 26 miles. So according to the display I drove 3 miles. By the time I arrived home, about another 26 miles, it read 382 miles to empty.According to the display I drove 62 miles. I also believe the average MPG is inflated also. Since breakin, its always been 22.1 to 22.2. I can't believe my driving habits suddenly changed enough for it to climb to 22.9.

Has anyone with the info center had any problems with inaccurate readings? The past 4 times I've filled up I've noticed that the "miles to empty" keeps getting higher on each fill up. In the past, it would read around 415 miles to empty. Today, it showed 448 to empty. Also, it doesn't keep pace with the amount of miles driven. Example; I know I've driven about 25 miles & the readout has only dropped 10 miles. After driving perhaps 50 miles, the readout will start dropping faster then the amount of miles driven. Example; drive about 25 miles & the readout will show 40 or more miles. Also the average MPG has creeped up from 22.1 to 22.9.

I forgot to specify it on my MKX & by the time I realized it, the car was headed out for shipping. I had the dealer install it at a cost of $495.

If you do have the manuals & documents, look through all of them if you haven't already. There should have been a card to write the code on. It may be stuck inside the manuals.

That is VERY acurate & where I have had many close calls. About a month ago, I changed lanes into the center lane & I heard brakes lock up. It was a Supercrew that was trying to get into the right lane to exit. I'm getting too old for these kind of surprises.

That looks about the same thickness as the ones from Ford. My dealer put mine on for no extra charge when I had it there for a couple of other things. They mounted it right out to the crease. Of course, I managed to make a small chip in the paint just outside the protector taking a door out of the back.

If yours has a cabin air filter, check to see if its plugged up. May not be the problem, but worth checking.

I liked it better when they used to mount the mirrors on the fendors. I didn't have much of a problem then.

I'm almost 6' 2' & when I turn my head, I can only see the window on the back door. I cannot see outside the car. I have my mirror adjusted quite a way out.

It was about 13 months & about 10,000 miles. I checked it at that time & is was full to the top of the ridges. I vacumed it out & put the old one back in. I tried to get a new filter through Parts America. They list it, but don't stock it. I went to my Lincoln dealer & they ordered one for me. From my experience, I would say check it about every 6 months. I'm curious what that string is. Mine doesn't have that.

The filter location is behind the glovebox. To remove the glovebox door, you need to squeeze the upper rear corners inward & the door will come forward & lift completely off. There is a realease tab on the right side of the filter access door. Open that up & remove the dirty filter. If it was like mine, it will be packed full of debris. Wipe out remianing dirt & reinstall everything in reverse. I changed mine after having it at the dealer for low A/C output & dust coming out ot the vents when first turning it on. The dealer said all was fine, which of coarse was not.
