    Fail Safe Cooling System for Engine

    Ford's window sticker for a 2004 Grand Marquis states that the car has a "fail safe cooling system." However, the 2004 Marauder sticker does not include this description. What is this feature? Does a Marauder also include this feature and/or can it be easily installed?

    Do You Own A Marauder 03'-04' ?

    Have one. A 2003 300B blue. But you all knew that it was neither a 2004 nor a 300A. 11,700 miles. Only mods are locks on wheels and window tint. Also, XM radio used through cassette--gotta love old tech blending with new tech.

    seat cover?

    The front flap problem can be repaired. Generally, the flap comes undone because there is not enough foam in the front of the seat behind the flap. My dealer fixed the problem by adding additional foam stuffing in the front of the seat. As a result, the flap was more firmly fastened. The...

    Drivers seat problem.

    I also had the problem with the front flaps on both seats snapping off. The dealer added extra foam material to the front of the seats. The stuffing made the front of the seat fatter. This solved the problem by removing any slack in the front seat flap.

    Wind noise around front doors

    Regarding the wind noise, check to see whether the door is flush against the body of the car. There can be excessive space between the door and the body of the car. (If your finger tips can fit between the top of the door and the top of the body when the door is closed, then you have too much...

    Are power mirrors and window lock switches lit?

    The switches for the power mirrors and the master lock for the windows never light up (regardless of whether the dash lights are on). Should they ever light up? All of the other switches on the driver's door panel are always lit--although it is difficult to see the lights in the daytime.

    Sorry to hear about the accident. Glad you were not injured. The weight and width of the car offer great protection.
