Found my solution - I took and old set of clips from old Taurus - drilled out some rivets - "re-bent" the bottom piece to fit the Fusion - bolted together - works great - pic below.... My linkhttp://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm131/davejunkmail123/?action=view&current=DSCN4768.jpg

Are your 2167 clips "close" to working with 400 feet and Fusion ? If you're not using and they are close - I'd be interested in them - maybe I can modify - I live in Delaware.

What are you doing next ? Yakima doesn't have dozens of different feet, do they ? Thule drives me crazy - look at all these feet Thule feet And their website is lame. I do not want to make any more big expenditures in Thule - if I have to buy 480 feet ($140) and 1529 fit kit ($60 ?) -- then I want to convert over to Yakima.........

Thanks - I'll check - maybe I was "cranky" earlier about Sync...... you know life is too complex when you have to reboot your car.... Have a great day !

OK -- think I successfully updated. Now - how do I turn off vehicle health reports ? Thanks for your help !

I'm having same problem. Sync is totally worthless to me. Now I have to update it just to turn the !@#$ thing off.........

Thanks - here's another link suggesting 2167 kit. Find any good deals on that kit ? I'm tired of buying new fit kits for every car... http://www.orsracksdirect.com/blog-2010-ford-fusion-car-rack-rec-86.html

Holes aren't bad - car looks better without bracket - obviously would prefer no holes but too late for that...

Fusion 2010. Have "old style" Thule system (not Aero). Anybody know what fit kit works ? I see 1124 and 2167 on web - can't confirm either. Thanks !

There two round circles on face - about 6" apart. I pushed a small punch in the center - and it releases the backing of the license plate mount. Attached is image - looks like one of those "drywall wall mounts" - where tabs expand/bend behind the drywall after pushed in. So my bracket is off - there are two 1/4 inch holes in the bumper.

I saw this somewhere - looks like drilling out rivets. I would think there's some way to remove in a way "replacable" in the future. Looks very tough to see behind bumper/bracket.... Fusion license plate post

How do you get off the black plastic front bumper license plate holder ? 2010 Fusion. Don't need it. Couldn't find any assembly screws - looks like snapped together. Thanks for your help !

Wow - thanks - below is link of one - didn't know existed - I'll try to find Fuse with power tap

Where's easiest place to tap an electrical line to add more power ports ? I did not see open tabs on fuse block - couldn't figure out. Thanks !
