Has anyone successfully added heated mirrors to an SE? Had to replace a mirror and got a deal on two heated mirrors. Heat or the puddle lamps aren't working. Lamps I don't really care, heated would be great!

Oh ok, well apparently the system is smarter than I give it credit for. Something was obviously glitching somewhere, but I assumed it wouldn't even take the outdoor air into consideration. If you ask for heat... it sucks in whatever air is outside and warms/cools it to what you have it set at, based on an inside sensor and ramps the fan up/down as needed. But hey learning something new!

The seats in my 2013 SE are pretty rough... wife was trying all sorts of pillows, supports, etc. We finally broke down and got Wet Okole covers with lumbar and seat heaters... it has solved all the comfort issues. I was also considering what CBHarvest did... and go looking for a 14 SEL.

stupid question... why would the outside temperature sensor have any bearing on the operation of the inside climate control? It looks like the problem is fixed, but wouldn't the interior have its own sensor to monitor temperature for the auto setting?

has anyone successfully done this? ...modified the SE for SEL seats?

I keep seeing people hitting 600 miles to a tank, how fast( slow) are you guys going? I can maybe eek out 500 to the tank if you want to run it bone dry, but that is blitzing on the highway I suppose.

I have 4 of the OEM Michelin Engery Savers in 225/50-17 that I removed when I went to the Focus ST wheels and I replaced the OEMs with snow tires. So they are just sitting. I believe I removed them with about 22k miles or so on them and there was a lot of tread left and no weird wear, but I will double check on tread depth. One had a puncture repair, but it was center tread and internally patched. If anyone is interested make me an offer for all 4 Would probably have to do local pickup in/around Cleveland Ohio.

sorry for the delay here are all 4

yeah my rattle comes from the drivers side front tire area, definitely not interior.

So far they pretty much have NOT been able to hear it... while I can hear it just rattling away. No one has put any Chassis Ears on the car either, as the TSB states to do. I love dealers! :love_shower:

The ST tires and wheels were pretty heavy... michelin mxm4 in 245/40/18 on the ST wheels didn't seem much heavier than stock. Mileage changes have been negligible, steering is a little more weighty at speed, but I like it that way, it seems less "twitchy"

I have the full picture...sorry for the delay... will post it up soon.

Mine has a rattle from the front left as well, under gentle braking in electric you can hear it clank around a little. 1st dealer couldn't hear it... its in a 2nd right now, for that and some other issues.

I've compared a C-Max to a fit, literally side by side. If the HRV is any larger than a fit... than the HRV has more cargo/space in general than a C-Max. The fit is smaller than my c-max, but the interior space is easily on par. There is actually more usable room due to the magic seats, etc and no "battery Hump". And the fact that a fit is dirt simple compared to c-max, no 12v problems!... but that is another debate.
