How do I remove the console-mounted window switch?

If you don't mind it being for the English version, Haynes makes a very good manual. -
Adding a Venting Window to the Sliding Door Panel
johnsonmy replied to stevejudge's topic in 2002-2013 Ford Transit Connect
I have seen on a small number of TC vans with a stationary window with a pop out inner window similar to the full size Transit van. -
I have seen the door panel trim and switches on Ebay UK. Not sure about the wiring harness.

Don't forget European sites. Found some stuff there for my 2011 TC. Good luck.

It is NOT a direct swap, at least with the old Ford 6000 head unit. Still investigating.

From 2012 on the XLT Wagons have a cloth, not vinyl visor with mirror on both sides. -

http://www.automobile-catalog.com/car/2012/980360/ford_tourneo_connect_lwb_1_8_tdci_110.html The American first gen TC is actually a Tourneo Connect, ford passenger version of a Transit Connect. Here are the towing specs for a LWB Tourneo with a turbo diesel. -

American first generation Transit Connects are long wheelbase models. http://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/Caravan-Towing-Car-Match 1574kg is the highest rating for first generation TC's. Thats 3470lbs. -

I have a rattle in that general area in my 2011, but haven't researched its actual location. Assumed it was the door itself.

4D, I like the "factory finish" you achieved by putting your camera in the factory location. Nice job.

Final results. Improved throttle response. On cold days, it almost feels turbo boosted. The transmission stays in OD longer on inclines and kicks back to OD sooner after it has kicked down. City fuel economy slightly improved, highway mileage appreciably improved. At fill up after highway trip, the expected mileage on the odometer goes to 420, usually more like 360. at this point, I'm planning on keeping it this way until i find a better solution. So far pleased with my free modification.
