  1. Help needed for clear coat damage from bird dropping.

    Is there a good cleaner wax or something to fix (apparent) clear coat damage from bird dropping left on too long? Would clay bar work here (I just thought of this)? Something available from a local store would be preferred as I have time today to work on this. Wax was depleted and car was...
  2. Oil drain plug torque for V6 w/ cast aluminum oil pan?

    1) Does anyone know the torque spec for the drain plug in our V6 w/ the cast aluminum oil pan? 2) What is the thread depth of drain plug hole in the cast alum. oil pan? 3) Is 7mm (1/4") valve thread depth into the aluminum pan enough 'grip'? I'd feel better with more, but I do not know. It...
  3. Vanity Plates on Convertibles

    Curious of actual or ideas for personalized plates that somehow relate to being a convertible. Including a blue reference is a bonus. ;o) All the obvious choices are taken (in Calif). BLU SKY etc. I thought I'd ask in case any 'other staters' have ideas of ones I could check & copy. :D Or...
  4. Drone Fixed! V6 Convertible w/ aftermarket mufflers

    As many of you know, my journey to quell the drone after adding Magnaflow 11365 Mufflers (4x8" oval x 11" L straight thru) has been a long one. After having gone back to stock since last summer, I decided to try making branch resonators and giving them a try. I only wanted a moderately louder...
  5. Hooker vs BBK Shorty header discussion

    Until icarumba did an excellent job of documenting the loan of his car to Holley for developement of S550 V6 exhaust products for their Hooker/Blackheart line, I was not aware of their headers for our V6. Many on the forum have added BBK shorties and some BBK long tubes to their V6's. Does...
  6. Power seat switch sticks & works intermittently now

    Anyone having problems with their power seat switch? Is power seat supposed to go all the way back with just one backward press? As long as I can remember, to just adjust the seat bottom rearward just slightly, I had to press back, then press forward to stop it from going all the way back. Is...
  7. CS Grill & Spoiler: Will they fit V6 & are there less pricey aftermarket versions?

    A reference I see to the California Special grill with the offset tribar pony for sale is an OEM part on E'Bay for $699 (12% off $799). It says all trims, then it does lists trims GT, GT350, GT350R, V6. (EB not listed an oversight??) 2015-2016 Ford Mustang California Special CS Black Upper...
  8. Charging System Service Now

    After two days being parked outside, it starts as normal and driving down the road I see the center screen with the warning: "Charging System Service Now" After my driving (3 miles), I checked the voltage and as expected it was 12.5. Any insights as to what this might mean... what changed to...
  9. Anyone try Costco $28 car cover?

    Just looking for a dust and spider droppings cover for in the garage. Especially when top is down. Wondering if anyone has tried Costco's (#923576) Moda by Coverking medium size cover? Does it fit OK. Not expecting a custom fit obviously for $28.
  10. How to undo floor mat retainers

    I tried prying up inner part of the retainer on the carpeted mat with a very small screw driver, but it won't budge. This gouged the outside of the retainer, so I wanted to ask before I just used a bigger screw driver (to make a bigger gouge) if that is not the correct way to undo the retainer...
  11. Anyone try Flowmaster muffler Super 40 or other FM 'muffler'?

    Has anyone had experience with or heard/read of experiences with Flowmaster Super Series mufflers? My shop has not put them on a 2015 V6, but keeps telling me to get Flowmaster Super 40 mufflers as I had terrible drone with Magnaflow 11365's and less but still noticeable drone with MF 11225...
  12. Convertible top operation issues of catching, noises, wear. Report issues & fixes.

    Occasionally my top will make a sound like something is catching or hitting something it shouldn't, mostly during the final stage of retracting top. I thought it would be good to have a thread where those who find issues can report them as well as those who have found fixes for these issues...
  13. Seat Back stuck tilted forward. How do I fix it?

    My passenger seat back stuck is stuck in the tilted forward position. Anyone know how to fix this? Where does the latch lever on the back of the seat go to and is it accessible to manually release a latch by reaching under the seat somewhere? I don't recall exactly how I did this, but I think...

    Anyone using Magnaflow 12225 (straight thru 5x8" oval, 14" long) on their V6? ANy sound clips? Do you have ANY low frequency drone inside the car at 1250 - 1900 RPM's? Please describe the sound inside the car (w/ no load and w/ load) in these RPM's.

    This thread is for those who tow with their 2015 and prior Mustangs. Lets hear what you tow (please include weight and size of trailer), how well it works and any issues or tips from your experience. Anyone use their Mustang to go camping?

  16. Muffler Drone fixed on V6 Convertible!

    In my research on the causes and remedies for drone, I read that increasing exhaust system (pipe, muffler or tips) diameter at the end of the system gives the desired lower tone, but is also notorious for creating drone. Maybe that is why axle backs with 2 ½” and 3” pipes along with their larger...
  17. Anyone using Magnaflow 11225/6 14" body 4x9 oval straight thru mufflers?

    The body length of the Magnaflow 11225 & 11226 mufflers is 14". They are the same straight thru design as the 11365/6 mufflers, just with three inches more of body length than the 11' long 11365/6's. On both length mufflers: 5's are 2.25" inlet and outlet 6's are 2.50" inlet and outlet Both...
  18. Head Rest Too Much Forward Tilt issue: DIY Fix! :o)

    EDIT 5/8/15: added ‘How To’ on fixing the Head Rest Too Much Forward Tilt issue… In both the 2015 Mustang and our 2013 Prius, I find the head rests keep my head forward just enough to be annoying. It occurred to me that maybe I might try bending them back a bit. But when I looked closely...
  19. Sport shift mode w/ Automatic?

    Page 136 of the manual does not seem to define that when you are in Sport Mode, when does it stay in a gear you select and when does it shift for you, albeit at s higher rpm than Drive mode. I notice in Sport it also downshifts automatically (and more aggressively than Drive). I just have not...

    I'm approaching 1,000 which is my choice for my first oil change. I have just read thru this Oil Change thread: http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10798 Mostly they were talking about GT's.
