03-04 Vert Owners, In Here

[T's Blk03]

Does your drivers headlight bounce when you drive?

Ford tells us it's normal.

 

[dgussin1]

I dont think so...is it really noticeable?

 

[CountySoldier]

not that I know of.....

 

[T's Blk03]

It's really bad, I've taken the light out, re-seated it and it still wiggles over semi-rough roads.

 

[fr03cobra]

This only happens on verts? I never noticed anything like that.

 

[dgussin1]

change your housing.

 

[T's Blk03]

I know the coupes headlights are solid as a rock but the verts, drivers light bounces all over. I've checked the housing, the bulb and everything else. F'ing Ford tells me all verts have this issue. If I put sub-frames on it, it would help.

The only problem I've had is moisture...they seem to be mounted quite solidly.

Ford :burn:

I'll have to fix this along with the other minor crap on the vert. Like the windshield weather stipping, the passenger seat rub, the A/C clunk and etc...

Who would have thought, a $40k+ car and Ford won't fix a thing. You would have thought I would've learned after buying the coupe 14 months earlier.

its a ford, what do you exspect

 

[T's Blk03]

The headlight is so bad that people I drive behind get irritated by the bouncing....it even wiggles when I get on the pedal

(this is the wife that drives it everyday)

I had a lightning before the Cobra, and I do have to say the build quality was WAY better.

That's actually what convinced me to buy the Cobra, the fact that the lightning was _EXTREMELY_ solid without 1 rattle for over a year. It was a badass mobile, I miss it .

 

[Driven]

Funny that I dont have that problem with my '03 vert, but my friend has the problem on his '01 Saleen. If anyone has a fix for this, I would be interested to know.

 

[ModsAway]

Mine are solid, just like any other problem with ANY MAKE OF CAR, you win some you lose some.

 

[plan b]

wah wah wah:cryying: :cryying:

 

[RedfireVenom]

Mine doesn't wiggle at all.

 

[Snake_Eyes]

I have never noticed it. Looks good here

 

[oldnfast]

Only time mine goes up and down is when it's whining & I'm shifting. :shrug:

 

[Redwing]

I have the exact same problem. However, It's not all that noticeable, only on bad roads, and I haven't complained to the dealer. It doesn't bother me enough to worry about it.
