asmoto05 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Their is a repair kit that Ford offered a while back. Which they don't carry anymore. But some members on ceg have these kits kicking around. I've seen them in a few junkyards and you child salvage them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00Cowboy Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Jeff, my '00 had the same issue. Looked like a ski slope on the dash. Couldn't see the vent or the wipers. I tried rolling it flat and putting some heavy angle iron sections on it when it was hot out, but it was so far gone that I simply bought a dash pad cover and did a little hack and slash to get rid of the offending curl. It's my daily driver and is eventually going to my kids next year. The cover looks nice in its place. My idea may not be the best solution for your aunt. Mine was so bad that even with the angle iron, I couldn't push it back far enough to open up the defroster vents again. I had no choice but to do surgery.

mondeoman Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I do not know if this kit is even avaialble anymore, I suspect not. There are a number of "work arounds" that yield the same results. Check the archives both here and at CEG. I have seen these "work arounds" and they look nice, though alot of work, as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryford8 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 As I hope to keep my merc mystique till i die went to crazy levels and removed the windshield and glued and screwed down the dash. Was going to add a small piece of window tint along the bottom of the windsield to hide these screws from outside view but they are hardly noticeable and dash has stayed perfect for two yrs now Doug/CanaDoug ontario canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondeoman Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Definately an unorthodox approach to this problem!!! How difficult was it to remove the windshield? I understand not unusual for them to break upon removal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrewChiefPro Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Any glass replacement place can remove and install the windshield without breaking them. There is always a chance of breakage but a good ( read OLDER ) installer can do this with no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondeoman Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hear you loud and clear, and tend to agree. I have been told this (breakage) by many a Windshield Installer, both young and old. Recall that the windshield R&R biz is very strong in the PNW. We don't use salt on our roads in the winter....we use pea gravel and these play heck on windshields! Maybe these installers are just covering their "backside"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
