Was driving high way significantly louder in this set up? I have the OEM cross bars with my old extra long cargo rack and it sits very very high with a huge gap in the front. I'm wondering if the cross bars you have (those Yakima?) would get my basket lower to help cut down wind noise while...
There was a post a while back where someone had more than 150lbs on their rack going to the beach and he said it was more than a two hour drive away and he had no problems. I would suggest that this is Ford being extra cautious and safe to avoid being liable for any damages.
Surprises me too...
I have the Ford Cross bars and they are in a lock position and sit incredibly high SOAKING up wind. Do you think the ones you have sit lower while still clearing the moon roof? My rack also has an 18inch extension on it which I'm wondering is too long and allowing air to go underneath and...
The 1.5 is more than enough for me, especially in sport mode. Even quicker when empty, but I'm not a car junky and just want something cool, reliable, that will hold all my gear.
Woof... making a very compelling case ha! I'm also looking into getting the side moldings. My girlfriend opened up the door into a fire hydrant poof -- first small, chipped paint indention. Didn't last 4 days in NYC sigh...
Just tried to apply this to my Area 51 BB today but ran out of time and over-applied first coat. So will have to peel off and redo.
I'd suggest for those who are trying it to do multiple, LIGHT layers or it will get too heavy and run/drip. Might seem like an obvious thing, but it can be easy to...
So I am not crazy? Ha! Yeah I think you're absolutely right, feels toy-like to me. Can't go back now and I'll probably do as you suggested and wrap it despite it already being "leather wrapped".
Also, if you have very long legs like myself, only half of my thigh is on the seat while my lower half is suspended in midair because my knees sit so high ha!
I drove over 4 hours yesterday in mine without a single issue :)
I would say my biggest complaint so far with my BB is the steering wheel.
Compared to other compact SUVs I've driven such as the Nissan Rogue or Jeep Renegade, they were both thicker and larger. Made the vehicle feel bigger than it was. This BS is screaming for a similar style steering wheel...
