Yellostang's Yellow Stang

[Yellostang]

My nearside mirror is turned all the way - the edge of the glass is outside the mirror housing - but it works for me. I'm 5'11 but do sit a bit further forward than some might.

Sounds exactly like mine - glass poking right out of the housing. I'm 6' and tend to recline quite a bit but am just slightly too far forward for it to work for me

My passenger mirror is like that, I have to learn back alittle to see the side of the car......PLEASE TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOUR NOISE ON LOW REVS???? I'm sure you've read my problems, does it do it when the cars warn or cold?

if by NS you mean Drivers side, yes, it doesnt fold in as far as the passanger side, it's no fault, it's natural . Unless, obviously its something different.

Nearside is the side nearest the kerb while driving, so passenger side. Offside is driver's side.

Yes, have seen some of your thread, but not followed all in detail. Only heard the sound twice and very briefly both times. Was slightly labouring at least one of those times - maybe in second when I should have been in first, in stop-start traffic, maybe two mins after leaving dealership, so still cold. Sounded like it was from the front or middle of the car I think.

Was very brief and not very loud, but will listen out for it again

And you're right about mirror. I described it wrong (posts now edited to correct). I'd need to move BACK for correct view. It's currently angled out too far, despite being turned fully inwards

The window issue, press down about 5-10 times repeatedley (Once the window is fully down). Basically, pull down, then press down, release, press down, release, press down, release, repeat, then pull up, hold for 3 seconds until it clicks (Click happens after it connects with the top of the window) that should fix the window

Tried this and it's definitely doing something. Lots of clicks and whirs. May have improved slightly but it's still catching on the frame. Very noticeable compared to driver side window which drops perfectly

Keep me posted re your noise, sounds like mine which kinda puts my mind at ease abit more.

Yes, sounds similar, although mine was only heard very briefly and was not very loud. Hopefully it's a case of TADTS, but not everyone notices.

I'm not desperately worried about it at the moment and there's always the warranty if it does develop into something serious.

Congrats mate, looks beautiful, by the way thought the front riding higher than the rear was standard as mine does exactly the same

Really? I'd noticed it in lowered cars before, but wasn't expecting to see such a difference on a standard car.

Caveat: the car was parked on a very slight incline for these pics, so it may not be as bad as it looks. I'll turn it around and check again tonight.

Ref the mirror - they're all like that.

I don't think they revised the motor range for RHD cars, so we're effectively looking at the driver side mirror - but on the nearside (hope that makes sense).

Possibly to be revised on MY17 models, but we're stuck with it unless Ford decide to recall (or moan to dealer).

It affects some more than others due to varying seating positions. I'd like mine to come in a bit more than it does.

Have you checked to see if there's a body in the boot or whether someone has nicked the engine? ;)

TBH I'm not that bothered about it, as it's nearly OK for me, but we could possibly argue that it's a safety issue and get the MY2017 mirrors fitted under warranty

Just need to stuff a supercharger in the front to even it up

I just measured mine and there is a 20mm difference between front and back , thought it might be a EU ruling
