#4167 of 15392 RE: klarson1 - Window Regulators by sniemietz Aug 08, 2001 (6:27 pm)
Your dealer must be right. My rear window failed a second time about 2 weeks ago. I called the service manager and he basically told me the same thing, alot of the cars are coming back for regulators and the part is on back-order. I told him mine were in the "up" position so I could wait until the part arrived. If I were you I would chew some butt out and have your dealer at least put the window up.n
#4168 of 15392 Radar (to ls1bmw0, #4050) by giowa Aug 08, 2001 (7:07 pm)
Been years since I watched MASH re-runs but I believe Radar O'Reilley's home was Ottumwa, Iowa, about 65 miles diagonally SE of Des Moines, Iowa. (But then again, maybe it was either Oskaloosa or Osceola; both are also in the general vicinity.)   Wonder how bleak '02 will be for Lincoln. Navigator has fallen way behind Cadillac's gigantic SUV. Continental is dead. LS running on minor changes, if any. Blackwood a real odd niche market. Someone at Lincoln should be shot and sent to the Eastern Front!

#4170 of 15392 Lincoln Wins Satisfaction Award? by karzz Aug 08, 2001 (7:28 pm)
Interesting to see that the Navigator beat out 79 other SUVs and trucks to take top honors in both the top SUV and top Truck categories. A Lincoln tops in product quality and customer handling? a Lincoln beating Mercedes, Lexus and BMW?....how can this possibly be?   08 August 2001            Lincoln Navigator Wins Satisfaction Award--Today AutoPacific presented the Lincoln Navigator with it's top award for Satisfaction in both the SUV and Total Truck categories. Auto Pacific sends surveys to all new vehicle customers who purchased during September through November of last year. The criteria is based on 1) product quality, 2) salesperson knowledge and 3) customer handling. Navigator competed against 79 other trucks, and our customers honored us with the highest rating beating out even newer entrants like BMW X5, Acura MDX and Lexus RX300.
#4171 of 15392 Dashboard splotches and other things by leadfoot4 Aug 09, 2001 (2:21 am)
I seem to remember the dashboard issue was mentioned a few months ago. The product that was recommended was "Black Magic" preservative, which is made by Westleys.  I got the latest issue of Car&Driver magazine in the mail yesterday. In this issue is a short review of the new, "Butt-Fugly" Cadillac CTS. The car is very humble looking, but guess what ??? A five speed manual transmission is available. I guess the market isn't dead after all.  One other thought regarding HP. I too, will always be tinkering with my rides, looking to make them a little better. Just look at the aftermarket that's out there for GM's two most famous "orphans", the Buick GN and the Impala SS. If there weren't "gearheads" out here buying the parts, I doubt there would be such a large number of companies willing to supply the goodies.  Over and out...........
#4172 of 15392 Dashboard by scottc8 Aug 09, 2001 (2:34 am)
The recommended product was indeed Black Magic, and the bulletin I remember recommended light buffing with very fine Scotch Brite (white). I used Meguiars plastic & rubber protectant, sprayed sparingly on a towel and rubbed it out very thoroughly, but didn't use the Scotch Brite. It did not make the surface too shiny, and evened out the finish almost 100%.

Now, there's a guy who should be driving to Dearborn and spending a little time in Flyover Country.

I guess that makes it a moot point, huh?   Guess we'll have to wait for the SVT guys to do their magic. Anyone heard anything else since the SVT SC V8 test mule was spotted at a racetrack test session?
#4176 of 15392 Areas For Aftermarket Upgrades by giowa Aug 09, 2001 (5:56 am)
So how many of you aftermarket upgraders are expending a lot of time and effort on other key areas besides acceleration like braking and handling? Seems like all the action is in the power arena. You could buy all sorts of stuff to attempt to improve braking and handling. But most of you don't seem to be doing that. So much focus on increasing output. That seems to be a strong statement that power or power delivery thru the drivetrain is the major shortcoming of the LS. One Lincoln does need to address in a timely manner.   Me, I prefer stock. Why buy something and then spend so much time, effort, and money making it "better"? If it wasn't good enough, I would've bought something else that was "better". And I don't like the thought of messing up warranties, causing problems in other areas, ruining emission controls, increasing noise levels dramatically, or degrading fuel economy. All too often side effects of the aftermarket effort to "improve".
