    Headrests

    I guess that is the obvious answer. I was wondering if they were all "standardized" with respect to the ability to cross mount in nearly any vehicle. The trouble with the internet is that it's too easy to ask a question when the obvious answer sits in my garage!

    Headrests

    I love the headrests in my o5 Stang GT. Does anyone know if a set of these can be used in my 01 Audi A4?

    The 05 and rain?

    This 05 GT is much better in the rain than prior stangs, but as will ANY high performance RWD car, too much throttle will kill the handling. Easy does it. If I know if will rain, snow, etc, I drive my AWD Audi ever time!

    2800 Rpm

    Dealer inserted the 2 missing tranny bolts and this cured the rattling diesel engine noise, but the 2800 rpm metallic rattle is there. Its funny, but I don't recall this noise BEFORE the tranny bolts were inserted. I'm still seeking the cause and solution. Sounds like to loose heat shield on...

    2800 Rpm

    I am hearing a vibration sound from my 05GT when I accelerate through the 2800 - 3000 rpm range. The sound is sort of like a sloppy AC belt engaging, however this occurs when I have the AC AND the climate control in the OFF position. I can hear it in 1st and 2nd gears. In 3rd, etc, the wind...

    Dash Rattle

    Yes the dash rattle is more metal-esque - not a plasticy squeek. Definitely from the right side dash area. What can I do to brace it to stop the rattle?

    Dash Rattle

    The drivers side door is an easy fix. Mine was a window track rivet at the rea of he internal frame that popped out inside the driver's side door. Repaired at the dealer for no charge. I am concerned however about having them rip the dash apart because that can lead to more rattles.

    Dash Rattle

    Has anyone identified the location of the right side dash rattle which occur on rough road surfaces such as concrete? The rattle seems to come from the right side of the dash. My 05 GT has the interior upgrade package with the aluminum dash. I really don't want to have the dealer tear it...

    airbag stickers

    While I agree with you in principle, I think that 99% of all vehicles on the road today have airbags. So, maybe this is not so much of an issue.

    Opinions: Mustang's worst feature

    There is a TSB for the gas tank refilling problem. Ford with replace the tank with one that has inproved venting. Or, simply insert the gas nozzel UPSIDE DOWN. This defeats the shutting off issue except when the tank is atually full.

    Opinions: Mustang's worst feature

    I have a fix for you on the issue of reaching the seatbelt. On the lower side of each seat is a strap that can be unbuttoned. Then you wrap it around the lower portion of the seatbelt. This will then hold it out a bit at the bottom. Then you can reach DOWN with your hand an easily reach it...

    Best Place to Sell my 05 Stang

    Thanks. I was not looking to sell here on this board, but rather just seeking input on where to sell and how much to ask. You see, I don't sell often and I was about to run the typical add in my local paper. But then it occurred to me that I should seek the valuable advice of others on this board.

    Best Place to Sell my 05 Stang

    I have not had any problems with it. The reason I want to sell it is because I really want to order an 06 GT convertible. You see, I sold my Miata convertible last summer because I had the 05 Stang on order. I love my Stang GT, but I really want the convertible version. When I pre-ordered my...

    2005 gt break in procedures

    My primary point was that the break in was done in the first 25 miles. And, more than likely it was done during testing before it left the factory. Get over it and drive the car.
