  1. What phone are you using? The iPhone puts the country into the address and I don't think that MFT likes it, so it gives you an error saying that it is the incorrect format. I haven't found a workaround, but I have over 300 contacts in my phone that I use for work, a handful of them work, but I can't figure out why those work and others don't. If you find out, let us know!

  2. Also beware of installation. I just had mine repaired, they had one guy do the install, but because the windshield ducks down under the hood a little bit, he lost controll and scratched the h*$& out of my pillar. Luckily the place that replaced it also owns a body shop and they fixed everything, but I would ask that two technicians do the install. 

     

    They told me that Carlite was the only option they would consider and that it was an expensive piece of glass because it was so new. 

  3. Yeah, I had to go into iPhoto and manually edit that one. I read up on it, and it sounds like if you take the photo with the iPhone vertical (portrait mode) it will be right side up, but in this instance I had the phone on its side and snapped the picture with the volume button. 

     

    Anyways, let me know if you are interested in this rack, it's only been used a handful of times!

  4. If anyone is looking for a descent rear rack for the C-Max, that doesn't touch the frame of your bike. I tried out the Saris Gran Fondo yesterday and it did a pretty good job. The hardest part was the initial assembly, but in terms of a "trunk" rack, it was far better than those carrying the bike horizontally. The strap placement on the C-Max is pretty easy on top and bottom, the side straps almost need a slightly different angle to them though. 

     

    If you are looking for the ultimate in security and stability while riding, you still can't beat the tray style hitch rack, but this did in a pinch until my new Kuat rack comes in!

  5. Forgive me if someone has asked this already, but does anybody know how to default to the mobile version of this site on an iPad? I'm on my computer right now, but often times when I am lounging around, I like to read the forums on my iPad and the mobile version is so much faster. RIght now, I have to scroll to the bottom of the page and manually click on "Mobile Version" every time I go to the site. 

     

    Thanks!

  6. Thanks for the replies. I'll see if I can check for a wire issue or blown bulb today. Embarrassingly I do have the rear park aid, but I was past that part of the garage door and still clipped it. I too have learned to respect it, especially because it is a hybrid, people behind you don't hear the car backing up.

  7. Was backing into the garage the other day and I clipped my passenger side mirror on the edge of the garage. For the most part, the mirror is okay, it has a small crack, but I super-glued it together and you can barely tell. But then last night, I went to unlock my car and I noticed that the turn signal light no longer works. Does anyone have any experience with these? Could I just have pulled a wire or something? Asked ford dealership about a new part, of course, it's on back order and it costs $300. If I can get that turn signal light to work, I'll be completely happy, otherwise I may be putting myself on the list for a new mirror.

  8. Go with a hitch and a tray style bike rack. It is the easiest and best option for you, your c-max and your bike. The only downside that I have encountered is that you have to remember not to push the trunk button on your remote when the rack is in the up position.

     

    I use the Kuat Enve and haven't had any issues with it so far, the Thule T2 and the Kuat Sherpa are also good racks.
