    Lamin-x fog light film - installation?

    As the title mentions, I am curious about the installation of the Lamin-x fog light film. I have performed this on my previous 2020 Subaru Outback Limited XT and was very simple/straight forward .... but this set doesn't look to be this way on the Explorer. First, you don't realize how large...

    3.0T occasional engine oil smell when running/at stoplight.

    Curious if anyone else notices this.... I have the 3.0T 21 King Ranch 4wd and occasionally smell engine oil when running (at stop light). I have no oil loss (drip or burning) so no idea why/how I get this smell. Is this "normal" or common?

    Squeaky folding exterior mirror

    As the title states, my driverside power folding mirror assembly is starting to make some noise ... especially when returning to the driving position.

    2016 FWD 3.5 N/A (wrench error message power train)at Dealer/throttle body

    i agree, they have really stepped up. I also leveraged Ford Customer Service thru here and together the timeline GREATLY improved. That being said, as long as it's a "good" part and hopefully the issue is in my rear-view mirror soon.

    Disable Driver Side mirror dimming?

    <2016 Explorer LTD> Disable Driver Side mirror dimming - is there a way to do this? I don't like this feature and with tinted windows makes it rather dark. Ironically the interior dimming mirror seems to not be in this vehicle (which is fine) but this outside one I don't care for.

    My Exp. has developed this new little "trick" where when you go to use the washer on the front, it squirts a little bit from the rear washer as well. Anyone else having this by chance?
