I kept looking at that wondering how that part is supposed to stick there with that protrusion. I just went out to my Bronco and saw the hole! I had no idea. haha Why would Ford make the hole and not put in a 30 cent part to fill it? Or is it there for something else too?

Have you ever tried this? Just spray it on your wet car and wipe it dry. I use two cloths: one to get the big drops off, the other to polish.

I am going to purchase this because I am having the same issues with water marks on my 23 OBX. Can you say how long you have to let it sit before wiping down or any other tips you have? Thanks Mark

You can wipe it off as soon as you spray it on. If it's a cool day and you're in the shade you can spray the entire car then dry it as you normally would. Your drying towel will always be a bit damp no matter how well you wring it out, so I usually go back over the car with a completely dry microfiber towel for the final polish.

Took off OEM roof bars and put on the rhino rack bars. Wanted more of a low profile, the OEMs I think were like 8in off the roof. Plus a bit of overhang for future mounts (awning). I like the looks much more as well ?

OEM bars will be for sale if anyone is interested. Will sell for cheap.

You're good to go then. It just looked lower than mine. Now if only my door windows were legal. New York doesn't allow any tint on them. View attachment 36974
There is a reason for that...a police officer has to be able to see the driver when they approach the car. I for one would not want to approach a driver I cannot see due to dark tint. No telling what that driver could have in their hands.

For anyone looking to carry significant weight on the roof this is a worthy upgrade. The farther away from a vehicle's center of gravity the more effect weight has. Even a few inches at the very top of the vehicle can have a big impact on vehicle stability.

I agree! That's why I only have 30%. It's lighter than the back section. I watch enough Police shows to know enough to roll down my window and keep my hands in plain sight if I'm ever stopped.

Early models probably had the pen/pencil clip installed. They stopped adding it just like the engine cover, hood insulation pad, illuminated cup holders, under glovebox dash pad and a few more. Anything to cut costs.

Would you hold up a production line because you couldn't get a pencil holder for the center console?

Roll your window down. Turn on the lights. Hand them your ID. This is pretty standard stuff. Even without tinted windows I’ve never waited to roll down my window when being pulled over.

And be respectful. It can go a long way.
