[QUOTE="Cobra'03, post: 134409, member: 3013"] Well, I see your point, but good luck - Ford may replace it once or twice, but is is arguably a cosmetic issue, not a mechanical issue. My Subaru Outback has a functional hood scoop (for a Turbo in Japan - here, it ducts air across the brake reservoir and booster). And it has all sorts of water stains. And there is no assurance that if 10,000 of us requested the replacements, it would do one bit of good. Hell, Ford would just as likely close off the scoops altogether, save perhaps for a tiny drain hole. The blankets cost about $60, so figure production cost is about $12. So even if every one of us asked for a new one, that would come to what - $120,000? Redesigning the hood would cost substantially more. I think the beauty of this Forum is that if we see a problem, we cobble up a fix - if we see an opportunity for an improvement, we do it and share it. Hell, I would guess that between Postban and I and others on this one alone we probably have 100 hours of sweat equity. I say kudos to all and more the better. [/QUOTE]
