There are 2 versions. One that simply sticks on. The better version fits into the window assembly's channel between the glass and the weather seal. The stick on version uses double sided adhesive. I have seen people replace the 3M adhesive with Gorilla adhesive. I reinforced my stick on vent visors with silicone.

Automobiles should come with a warning label. Cars kill more people than handguns.

Pricing and availability trumps performance aspects for a lot of buyers. Some people will spend whatever it cost to get "the best" tires for what they need. High speed. High traction. Mud. Snow. But a lot of people buy whatever they can get the best price on. Hankooks are not bad tires. They will not spontaneously split at the tread, blow at the sidewall, or any other catastrophic failure for no reason. Ford used Hankook as OEM, selling all cars and trucks with them installed on the assembly line, when the relationship with Firestone ended. Without a doubt, many other tires have better performance ratings. But those tires cost more. If you are not racing your Transit Connect, or off-roading your Transit Connect, you will not notice much of a difference driving around in the city and on highways.

In every modern vehicle, the most fuel efficient use is with windows up for full aerodynamics, and Air Conditioning off to conserve fuel. Now try driving at freeway speeds with all the windows open. You will hear an unbearable noise.

I stopped paying attention to warning labels back when they put a warning on cigarettes and Tab Cola. Studies on laboratory rats during the early 1970s linked high volumes of cyclamate and saccharin with the development of bladder cancer. As a result, the United States Congress mandated that further studies of saccharin be performed and required that all food containing saccharin bear a label warning that the sweetener had been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. Despite this, Tab remained commercially successful, and was the best-selling diet soda in 1982.

Milk crates are surprisingly strong also.

You may need to see a custom upholstery shop. They will be able, if they wanted to, to build you a nice seat. I don't think anything exist in the aftermarket that is vehicle specific to your car.

I doubt if any aftermarket company will invest the money into research and development. Aside from the aesthetic appeal to you, very little function could be found. The main reasons for a lift would be ground clearance, and being able to install larger wheels and tires. Typically, a lift kit would also incorporate heavier suspension components, and bigger brakes. Now the problem is going to be engineering the Transit Connect's front wheel drive powertrain to work with all the aftermarket parts. Is the OEM transmission and steering going to be able to handle bigger wheels and tires? Are you thinking that you could build your Transit Connect into an off-road vehicle?

By now, we've all seen the video clip with Jay Leno promoting JackPoint Jack Stands. These were designed with small cars in mind. Low to the ground. Tight suspension. This will not be a "one size fits all" for every vehicle. With a 2 ton bottle jack, I raised the Transit Connect to 12". @ 1' of lift at the front jack point, the front tire was still on the ground. Definitely a statistic to be mindful of when selecting lifting equipment for Transit Connect. It could be interesting to see how these work on a Transit Connect. Jackpoint Jackstands are 13 inches high (12.25 inches with the low profile pad), 16 inches wide, and 12 inches deep overall.

This is almost the same idea. But different.

I suspect that an automotive service shop would not buy such a gimmicky device. All of these devices are designed around not having a lift. An automotive service shop would have a lift. And apparently, some people who have the luxury of space available, also have a lift. I also balked at the $300 price tag. But then again, in hindsight, I am wincing at how much I paid for 6 AllTrade PowerBuilt All-In-One UniJacks. I originally bought one. Liked it a lot. Then decided that I should have 4 for my truck. Now I have 2 more for the van. I don't even want to think about the small fortune I have thrown away into my hobbies over the years. Cars. Motorcycles. Tools. Sports. Guns. Drinking. Girls. Knives. Barry Manilow 8 track cassettes. Dining. Hunting. Fishing. Following Barry Manilow on tour. Electronics. Atari 2600. Polyester leisure suits. Permed hair. Gold chains. In today's dollars, with the median salary of $52,000 annually; I will waste over $1,000,000 in my lifetime. Tang rots your brains.

Welcome to Paradise

Today, we are back to normal. Clear street, with just a cop hanging out in his 97 Crown Victoria. Yuuup! In this city, they still drive 20 year old cars, with who knows how many millions of miles on them.

There's death from Disco, also. But don't let that stop you from a good time.

I work on my relationships that way. Only thing I got from my ex was a restraining order.

I've seen that TV show. The Amish have a Mafia.

Wow! Is not having a backup camera really like dropping Quaaludes with Bill Cosby?

I know more than one way to start a fire. Not worried about being stuck in the woods with nothing except my Bear Grylls knife. When I go to the woods, I go prepared. I double check all of my gear, and practice redundancy. I bring matches, a Zippo, and a butane lighter. All wrapped in 2 zip lock bags to keep them dry. I don't have to worry about bushcrafting with my survival knife. I have an axe for processing wood. I bring a pistol, rifle, & shotgun....if there is food, I'm shooting it. The point is that in the modern world, the only way that you can find yourself in the woods with nothing more than a knife, is if you put yourself in that situation. That is why all of those people on youtube, or on a reality show, actually go home. They don't live in the woods either. Same with your car. Why deny yourself the technology? Remember when cars didn't even come with a passenger side mirror? Before airbags, I can recall cars not having seat belts. For 50+ years, people slid across the bench seat as they hung corners, looked over their should because there was no mirror, and Fred Flintstone stopped with his feet. Yet we still have people who do not want a backup camera. May as well fornicate unprotected with inebriated, new age, holistic mediums, that you pick up in a Fern Bar. Wear polyester like it's the 70's, when you didn't know that the material was flammable. Listen to Disco, even though it rots your brain. Accept a Quaalude from Mr. Cosby.

It does not look like you have much room to work with. It looks like a little fabrication will allow for installing airbags. Air may be the best way to go. Air will support more weight, and give a better ride.
