New to me 2016 GT/CS

[Fordever]

I have a convertible so the seats are different, but in mine if I leave it out of the seat belt guide it sits much better for me.

That's what I did in the way home from the dealership after my purchase. :cheers:

So I drove it home from Denver today and 2 things bugged me.
1. The shoulder harness is not in a good place...any way to move it lower?
2. It was very cross windy and the hood moved around quite a bit...is that normal?

First of all, congrats on the purchase FINALLY.

I have a vert and I removed the belts from the holder on the seat. It made a substantial difference.

I have Redline hood struts and no hood movement whatsoever.

Thanks all for the suggestions and congrats. Been looking forward to a modern stang.
I adjusted my bumpers and now the hood is harder to close. Will look for the shakes on the next drive.

Are those basically the same as what I have linked or something different? If you include a link I would appreciate it.

Mine are different, softer material, they were given to me by a friend!

More questions

As long as I'm asking...what about mud flaps, door edge guards and trunk sill guards.

Can someone with the spare tire kit tell me what size it is? The tire I got seems way too short to be correct.

18 i think, but it fits over the 19 inch, as have been told. i have the official Ford kit and the 19inch CS wheels

I'm asking for tire size, which includes the rim diameter.
Have you set your spare next to your tires to compare the height?
Mine were not even close.

 

[69mach1-395]

After some searching I can confirm that the spare tire size is T155/60R18, which is indeed over an inch shorter in diameter. Probably best to swap a good front to the rear if driving for more than a few miles to get a repair done.

New question about the factory lugnuts. Are they the encased type?
Some are so tight I can't get the socket over them...

Correct. They are incased. They shouldn't be swollen on a less than 1 year old car. What size are you using?

 

[69mach1-395]

13/16" worked on all but one wheel.

 

[Agent_S550]

Weird. 21mm should be working on all of them.

21mm is working, thanks for that small difference.:cheers:
