On my '23 OBX, I bought the factory bumper protector. It was easy to install, looks great, and has held up very well. For the door jambs I went a different route. I did not like the factory ones and felt they were very expensive. Instead, I bought a 12' roll of 2" wide safe way traction tape on...

My bad! I meant Motorcraft FL-910S filters.

Guess I'm old school. I change my oil and filter every 6 months or 5000 miles whichever comes first. I do it myself and use Mobil 1 full synthetic and Motorcraft FL-910S filters. I also manually check my tire pressure monthly.

The Ecosport mirrors don't fold. I don't think the mirrors on my '23 OBX fold either.

I have a stubby antenna on both of my cars. As far as the mirrors my OBX has been fine. However, on my wife's Ecosport, the high-power dryers have blown out the mirror glass twice. I solved that problem by cutting the legs out of a pair of pantyhose. They stretch and form a tight fit over the...

The only downside are Syracuse, NY winters and road salt. I just run 4 snow tires on the factory rims for the winter season.

Thank You! They are Protocol Chrome Plated wheels made by Verde. I bought them from Tire Rack in 2014. I've used them on my '14 Escape, my '17 Lincoln MKC, my '19 Ford Edge, and now on my '23 OBX.

I like your style!

My '23 Outer Banks shares my garage with the wife's '20 Ecosport Titanium, my '23 Kymco People 150i scooter, John Deere garden tractor, Ariens snow thrower, and lots and lots of tools.

I gave up my Harley in 2010 ( I was 66 and the Harley was very heavy). Since then, I've had 4 different Kymco scooters. As much as I love my '23 Outer Banks, I still enjoy riding my 150cc Kymco People S scooter.

These brackets are installed upside down and on the wrong side. This is the correct way to mount them. They mount this way and have locking tabs on the back side. You have to pull the weatherstrip back and the tabs lock under the factory trim piece. This is the correct cover Amazon.com...

I believe you have the rear mounting brackets upside down!

I bought 2 from Amazon, and they were made in China also. Quality, fit, and finish was all good. Paid advertised price, shipped free, and delivered on time.

New rear cargo cover! Saw this here on the Forum. Easy install, good looks and fit. Just nervous about the two-sided tape tape holding the rear brackets.

Just bought and installed one from Amazon on my '23 OBX without cargo management system. Easy install, looks and fits good. My only concern is whether the double-sided tape is strong enough to hold. Update: Cover is working fine. I just ordered and received one for my stepson's '24 OBX.
