That seller is really good. I got a button cover for my Lightning from them and helped them figure out the specs for a Mach-e one (it is a little different).

I asked them months ago when I bought mine about one for the Mach-E. They never responded.

Any idea when they will start producing them?

I would ask again. We got the dimensions figured out before the holidays.

Does anyone know of good seat covers that also allows for good penetration for the seat heating and cooling?

got the tint done- waiting for tonneau to be delivered

With that tint, you should be noticed by all police where ever you go....

same tint I had on my Black Ram 1500- only stopped once in 5 years. Hope that remains the case

Got my manual backup/generator inlet (compatible with the bed's 240v 30a Pro Power) installed and tested yesterday.

Interesting approach, moved 10 breakers to sub-panel, and added the selector switch. Do you know what model that selector switch is?

I unfortunately do not, I'm going to install my Emporia Vue within the week and will see what i can glean.

I'm not an electrician, I sent the electrician I use a description of what I wanted and forwarded him some links from the forum of what others had done (made sure he was aware of the neutral bond, etc) and this is what he put in. Everything tested out perfectly last night, and the price was much more palatable than the SunRun method.

Very proud of the humble and dead-simple mod I threw in my Lightning today. Baby is due in January (our first) and will ride home from the hospital in style.

Turns out the workspace up front is a perfect changing table. Highly recommend.

Good riddance. Tailgate damper on deck next.

What is Tailgate Damper?

What is Tailgate Damper?

The non-powered tailgates on the lower trims don't have a soft open, just a lift assist. Ford makes a shock that attaches to directly to the hinge behind the right rear tail-light (FL3Z-99406A10-A). Going to see if it's compatible and can prevent the tailgate from slamming down. A few others here have mentioned wanting to try it, but haven't heard explicit confirmation of success yet. For $70 figured it was worth a shot. Will come back with the results.

Heres the stock hinge:

Here's what I'm hoping to substitute:

Had no idea there was a Ford part. I installed one from Amazon for around 20 bucks. Had to remove the tiedown/bottle opener from driver side of tailgate however.
