Mounting the cameras on the bottom side of the mirror, and using a little silicone to fill the holes that you drilled, would save you the headache of worrying about leaks. You could also use a grommet for the hole, then fill the gap with silicone. It looks like you've got the same blind spot mirror as found on my van. For me, the little corner mirror works great.

With the F-Series trucks & E-Series vans, it is quite common to see them go hundreds of thousands of miles. I just got rid of an Explorer @ over 300K miles. It was just time for someone else to enjoy leaking in the rain, ripped upholstery, broken door latches, an interior beat up from loading cargo, and a windshield with chips & scratches. But mechanically, everything under the hood was great! Of course, there really is no way compare vehicles with nothing in common, except for a plastic brand logo badge.

A lot of options out there. Look at the commercial options as well.

Did you install a propane cook top or refrigerators?

A van with tinted windows. A van w/out windows. What's creepy about that? Not everybody is a kidnapper. I use mine to collect panties. I suppose in the UK, and Hong Kong, vans are cool.......watch any HK triad/gangster movie, and you will see large packs of criminals traveling in vans......now is that just in the movies, or do real life mobsters roll in minivans? Rab, How much are you willing to spend? If you're willing to part with more money than the van is worth, then surely you can have whatever your want. I doubt if you'll find an aftermarket kit for a Transit Connect. But a good fabricator can easily sketch out what you want, design it with Auto-CAD software, then fabricate it. Fiberglass panels can be made. 3D printers are available. It's simple finding the right shop to do the work. You've seen on television how car builders can shape metal, mold fiberglass, and practically build whatever they can dream. It might sound crazy to find someone across the country, ship your car there, and spend a fortune. But if it's what you want, seriously, call the guys you see on television. Call Chip Foose. Call West Coast Customs. Try Galpin Ford. Or you might find a local coach builder who works on custom vans, limousines, et cetera. Is there a "tuner" shop in your area that builds "fast & furious" show cars?

The City has outfitted our Rangers with Transit Connects.......equipped with spotlights. They used the traditional a-pillar mount. You can probably do the same thing. I ran into a couple of them today, as I was on my way home. I was still wearing uniform pants, with a regular jacket covering my shirt. The girl driving the first vehicle said, "how did you get a new one, and unmarked?" It didn't occur to her that I was driving my own car, not a city vehicle.

I thought that I was the only one who noticed that we do not have "luxury car comfort".

Are you aware that members of this forum drive Transit Connect vans, which are different? Transit 350 & Transit Connects have very little in common.

Doesn't Kia/Hyundai/Daewoo offer a 10 year warranty on their cars?

No instructions with your camera? Sounds like you need a factory service manual.

Don, Dealerships can be good or bad, depending on when you walk into them. With turnover, you simply get some people who are better at what they do, and sometimes you get someone who is not so good. The same goes for the sales staff. And that is at every brand. I've encountered good and bad, at Honda, Ford, Chevy.....you name it. When I bought the Transit Connect, I went to the dealership closest to my house. Salesman there was fixed on trying to sell me the highest priced car, instead of the car that I wanted. I pointed out that the car I wanted was right there on the lot, and he insisted that it was already sold to someone else. So I left. A few days later, he calls me and says that the car I wanted was now available. Then he would not negotiate on price, and said something about cars today are sold at asking price (sticker) because.....blah, blah, blah. I get the car I want, from another dealership........are you ready for this? I paid what I wanted, not the asking price. 5 weeks later, I get a call from the first dealership. A sales manager wanted to follow up with why they didn't get to close the deal. I told him the story. He apologized and explained that the salesman has since been fired, and that was why he was following up to see if he could salvage any of the lost business. In compensation, he offered a free oil change, and asked if they could at least have my business for service and recalls. My girlfriend went to a Honda dealership where the service advisor told her that every Honda had to have a full service (transmission service, spark plugs, coolant exchange, brakes, and alignment) annually, in order for her new car warranty to be valid. She said she'll check her calendar and call back to schedule a service when she can leave the car there for a few days. He sang a different tune when I brought the same car back. I went to the manager of the dealership, and politely inquired as to why his service advisors were cheating customers. As if women can't read the owners manual or service schedule, or warranty guidelines. While at the service manager desk, I called the Bureau of Automotive Repair and asked to file a complaint. But then again, you get good service reps. I've had service people work on cars as "after warranty adjustment" and gotten work done free.

Looks like The Police are driving Transit Connects now. May not be a good idea to flash lights at them.

Scan Gauge II is a great tool. 10 years ago, I paid $$$ and loved it. Today, i can do the same thing with a $5 OBD II port reader w/ bluetooth, & a free app.

Don, Reminds me of how 10 years ago, people were "hypermiling". Guys were getting almost 50 MPG with a Ford Ranger.

Sounds rough. I guess I'm just lucky to live in an urban concrete jungle, where it does not snow.

Sounds like the car has a mind of it's own......and it doesn't like you.

On the outside, it looks like the latch release is electronically activated by pressing a button where the license plate light is. You should be able to tap into the wiring and install a switch.

My ex said that was where my brains are.

A good fabricator would probably be able to use a lot of Focus parts on the Transit Connect. But I really don't think it would be as easy for an amatuer hobbyist to simply swap parts. I'm sure that you'll encounter some fitment issues.

I treat this van like a car, not a 4WD truck. So I'm a little more cautious. If I wouldn't drive my Honda in the mud, I wouldn't take this van in the mud. I try my best to drive this van only on pavement, and not in snow or mud.

On my 2016, if you leave all the lights turned on and turn the ignition off, the computer will turn the lights off so that you don't return to a dead battery. In the past, I installed a device called a Priority Start to disconnect the battery if lights were left on.

Just what is the "real world" price of chickens and eggs? Imagine how the government subsidizes the poultry industry, so that they can control not just the US economy, but the global economy. It's amazing how a bird can be hatched, raised, processed, transported, distributed, and resold @ $0.99 per pound, and eggs going for about a quarter dollar. Mind Boggling if you factor in all expenses including real estate, union labor, logistics........ It makes you wonder how much that chicken should "really" cost. It cost more than $0.99 worth of diesel just to move that chicken around to all the different places it has to go before it's on my plate. It's like the recycling scam. The environmental impact of recycling, is worst than simply throwing my beer can into a landfill. Then the US government floods foreign markets with US chickens. Anyone go shopping in Mexico lately? Go to a supermarket in Mexico, and you'll see US brands like Tyson, Zacky, Foster.......sold for even less than what we pay here. According the trade journal, Poultry World: In the two decades of NAFTA, Mexico has risen to become the number one export market for US chicken, turkey, duck and eggs in 2013, with annual sales exceeding $1.3 billion, according to US government trade data. http://www.poultryworld.net/Meat/Articles/2014/1/Mexico-and-US-celebrate-poultry-trade-success-1451581W/ At any given time, The POTUS can go to the president of Mexico and say, "How'd you like your people to starve? We'll hold back on those chicken and egg shipments. Or we'll build that wall, and charge your people for it, by raising the price on chickens and eggs. And if you don't like that, we'll slap a 25% tax on your cars."

Does anyone think that production may have to shift to USA because The POTUS is going to Make America Great Again?
