Never mind. My bad for not searching around a bit. http://www.fordfusionclub.com/index.php?topic=129886.0

Did you ever figure this one out ? This morning I lifted the whole knob assembly right off the shaft unitentionally. It was always loose feeling as in you could rotate it a few degrees back and forth, but this caught me by surprise. I agree, I don't see any missing fasteners. Has to be some kind of spring loaded clip or something. Will have to dig around tonight. Fortunately, I was able to drop it back on with a little wiggling around. Weird and Annoying.

Duplicate from another thread. If you are looking for a decent all around all season tire, take a look at Fuzion HRi tires. Made by bridgestone I believer. I had them on my last car and as far as bang for the buck goes, they were awesome. For my fusion I have gone the winter tire on steel wheel and will be getting summer tires on nice alloys, however, in the future I would not hesitate to do the Fuzion's again.

I have had this issue with every car I have owned. Electric windows are obviously worse because they only provide so much power and often won't be enough to break the ice. Nothing is as bad as the 83 Nissan Sentra I had. Manual windows and door locks. The locks would freeze up while driving and then I would have to use channel locks to hammer the lock up and down til I could get out. Made for some funny date stories when I would go to drop my girlfriend off and she wouldn't be able to get out.

Great info !! Thanks !!

I really like the Sylvania Silverstars I have used in my Grand Prix. Will be putting in them my fusion when the time comes.

That is the PIE site, however, it states you need to be a dealer/distributor to order one directly from there. Not true ?

I don't have one yet, but this looks like the one: http://www.crutchfield.com/app/product/ite...i.e.&tp=120

If you decide you want to tackle it yourself it's not too bad a job if you have everything you need. Hope this helps !! http://www.flickr.com/photos/gtppilot/sets...57607539089979/

I've been eyeing the H&R Sport Suspension. Looks like the ride height can be adjusted which might be worth considering. I'm also on the fence about it. Around here in CT I kind of like having the extra ride height due to bad roads and too many SUV's. I like the wheels!

Hi BBF, I just picked up a used 2006 Fusion SE. Love the car. Scary, but my only real complaint is a broken rear door handle. In addition to ordering the handle, are their any clips or anything I should order just in case ? I would prefer to not have the door panel rattle or anything due to broken clips or something that hold it to the door. Is it literally just the chrome handle you replace ? or part of a larger assembly ? Hard to tell from the cheesy sketch from Ford Parts online. I appreciate your help !!
