Well, those side pieces (left & right sides) are a lot cheaper than you think, about $150 shipped each. Mine have all (Left, right, and front) showed a little oxidation, so I bought a set for future installation when I'll need to. I had a tough time finding the front strip by the windshield, but they do sell that part separately also. The front part was about $180 shipped. You can search for better prices, shipping varies a lot between Parts sites. The Left side (DP5Z-5451969-A) is about $150 shipped, which I got from Tasca Parts. The right side (DP5Z-5451968-A) is about the same shipped, which I got from Ford Parts Giant. I only paid $75 for this one a while back. The Front Strip (DP5Z-5451916-B) is about $180 shipped, which I got from Fairway Ford Parts. These plastic parts get beat up by the sun, so they need a coat of wax way more often that the rest of the car. These parts pop right out and are easily installed.

Wishing a healthy and Happy New Years to Y'all!

Im pretty sure he meant 'Fender Ineterference', meaning don't get a large tire where it will rub the fender, or quarter panel. Also too low of a wheel offset can push out the tire and could cause some rubbing issue on the quarter panel.

Congrats on finding one of these bad boys, I'm still smiling after four and a half years with this monster. Welcome aboard.

Congrats on the purchase, and welcome aboard. I still love driving mine, I'm amazed at the power this great car has.

A loooong time ago, I helped a woman out with a similar issue. I followed the negative cable from the battery, and it was not connected to anything, it almost seemed like it was cut. I was able to splice the wire and reconnect it where it was initially, and all was good again. It may be worth a shot to check it out.

Not sure if you noticed, but the front right wheel is different from the others, that one wheel is from an earlier year than 2017. You can easily pick a one that matches, but the wheel was most likely damaged pretty bad somehow.

Another update on the seat issue, my new Lincoln dealer performed the TSB repair on both front seats back in March of 2021, and the movement or clunk feeling is now gone. My previous Lincoln dealer didn't install the parts back on March of 2020, they simply lied to me and said they did. Thankfully they closed down in June 2020 and I now deal with a good Lincoln dealership.

That's awesome, congrats and it's well deserved.

Your friend can't drive stick, and he apparently can't drive an automatic either. Tell him to stick to the bus or Uber. ? Sorry to hear about your situation, I can't offer any advice on the repair. But I hope you get it figured out, good luck.

Hope everyone has a fun and healthy Holiday!

Same crappy site, keeps kicking me out, just like it always did.

Congrats, and Welcome aboard. I'm sure you'll enjoy it more than the Camaro.

You can order drom Discount Tire Direct, same company but they will ship your tires directly to a local installer near you. There is a list of installers, with all prices listed, on their website. You choose an installer and they ship your tires to them directly. The installer will contact you when the tires arrive, and you'll already know what the cost is for mounting and disposal, etc. I've bought tires for my truck and my Fusion through them, great prices both times. You can call them with questions or for advice. Discount Tire Direct .

Yeah, I looked this morning and I did notice that same reflection. Now I need to forget that I ever read this thread, and hope that I won't notice it ever again. This thread blows!...

My windows are tinted, and I never noticed that reflection in the slightest bit. Maybe it's the type or brand of tint that's possibly causing the reflection. Welcome aboard.

Negative first always. Hopefully your setting will still be there, but they may get lost. I had my battery replaced earlier in the year by the dealer (Warranty), and I don't believe that I lost any presets, not sure on that though.

The video below will show how to remove & install the blower motor, it's a Fusion but the same basic blower as ours.

Any seat removal is basically the same, 4 bolts and a wire harness or two. It helps to raise the seat up for easier access to the bolts. Also pulll any associated airbag fuses and remove battery connections, wait a bit before starting to remove any possible airbag deployments.

I wouldn't let that steer me away from that car, being from the North East, that is normal. And it sure is a good looking Z!

I have a Covercraft 'Noah' cover for my car, only using it in the winter when the snow rolls in. It works great, the cover comes off and the car still looks freshly washed. It looks like they replaced that cover model with another name at some point, I don't see it available anymore on their site. I had the same cover on my 07 Fusion, and left it covered for 51 days straight during a rough winter, and when i removed the cover, I only had to go over the car with my California Car Duster.

The Drivers Package was also available on the Black Label trim level with 3.0, so the seat color would not give away if you have that option, if your MKZ is a Black Label MKZ. Congrats on the MKZ purchase, and welcome aboard.
